It's "really" Give-Away Day this time & W(ful)W

***COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED TO NEW ENTRIES!!  GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ENTERED!!  I WILL POST A WINNER BY THE END OF THE DAY TODAY!!***





Are you excited?  I am!  I stayed up till 1:30am Sunday er I guess that was Monday, to finish up this scarf for you.  I was positive that Give-Away day was Monday.  Oops.  My bad.  Well what turned out as procrastination turned into getting things out of the way early.  Imagine that!


So I have two items for you today but first I guess I'll share the formalities first.  Here are my rules -



  • Each person may comment ONCE for their entry

  • If you would like to be in the drawing for both things that's great.  If you only want to be in the drawing for one of the items just let me know which. 

  • Make sure to have your e-mail address included in the comment if your e-mail address is not linked up.  But you can do that really easily by checking out this post.

  • I will ship within the US at my expense.  I will ship outside of the US at your expense.

  • And I highly doubt this will happen, but the same person cannot win both.  If this should happen I will e-mail the winner and have them choose and I will draw again for the other item.  But really is anyone that lucky?

  • Oh and winner will be chosen fish bowl style because I know that will make my daughter's day.   


That doesn't sound too bad, right? 


So here is what you're trying to win...


P1040799


P1040801


This scarf was crocheted by me.  It is 100% acrylic fiber.  It measures approx. 6 1/2 inches in width and 5 feet in length not including tassels. 


P1040802


P1040803


The width of this reusable bag is 11 1/4 inches and the body measures 13 inches high.  The fabric is Alexander Henry's Bangle Dot Pink for the outside and coordinating Alexander Henry on the inside.  The inside features a small pocket to hold your cash or keys.  I do want to add that this bag did not come out to my complete likings.  I would not sell this as something happened with my side gussets.  But my husband insists that it looks fine, it doesn't change the functionality, and after all it's free so I'll put it up anyway.  I have the same size bag that I fold up and keep in my purse and is perfect to hold a couple small items when you're out.  I love mine. 


Comments close tomorrow morning as soon as I get the kids fed and get myself on here - usually between 8 & 10.  I will update that comments are closed to enter to win so you know.  Feel free to comment to join until that point.  I will announce the winners by Thursday night before I go to bed.  Good luck and tell your friends!  :) 



And I'm using these for my Wordful Wednesday as well to show off my craftiness a bit too.  I hope that's alright.  I've been a crafting fiend lately.  I'm loving it.  Either crocheting, sewing, or scrapbooking, besides blogging I can't get enough.  It's been only fueled by my pledge to go handmade for Christmas this year.  And although this year I won't be perfect, I'm already formulating a plan for next year.  Are you a crafter? If so let me know!  I always love when my loves - crafting and blogging - connect and I can gain inspiration from all of you.  There is some major talent out there too!  Just a few favorites from my reader...

PS I'm definately a crafter, though I don't often find time for it lately... LOL I'm currently working on knitting a baby hat that looks like a cupcake for my cousin's daughter who will be one in January. I just finished a scarf for Jared. I also make my own cards, and I like to sew (here and there). And photo shop and I have become rather well-acquainted lately. LOL I'm obsessed with making collages and photo cards, etc
