200th post GIVEAWAY!!!

Well, here we are - 200 posts since I began this blog. I have loved having a place to show off and its been super fun meeting other creative people who love crafting. Now, I want to give back. I just hope that I get more people entering this giveaway than I had on the pay it forward challenge! I have been planning this ever since I missed the typical 100th post giveaway and after some help from my wonderful 11 year old daughter I feel like I have some great stuff to give to someone like you!

I have included some vintage and some new items which I hope someone out there will enjoy!

What I've included in the giveaway;
* 3 "sweetie-pie" dick and jane cards
* birch circular needles 2.75mm 60cm
* 3 balls sullivans crochet and knitting cotton 4ply
* Snap Out Of It Ginseng Tea
* 4 Fabric remnants (including one vintage)
* vintage flexi-lace hem facing
* baggie one; cotton tape, gold elastic
* baggie two; seven iron-on and sew-on embroidery embellishments
* baggie three; ten wooden teddy bear embellishments
* baggie four; a small pile of buttons (some vintage)
* baggie five; some vintage lacy ribbon
* baggie six; unused vintage snap fasteners - size 1

It's simple to enter, just leave a comment below as many times as you'd like! Someone will win on the 28th May (NZ time - so 27th for anyone in the states!), giving you one week to enter! Don't forget to tell all your friends...

Oooh my - giveaways? The lovely Curlypops sent me here (along with a few others, I see). Congratulations on 200 posts. My 200th passed me by without even realising it. So did my 100th. Your giveaway looks fabulous - especially so as I've just taught myself how to knit and that knitting cotton looks delicious!

Hey girl, thanks for visiting my blog and for the comment. Wow, congrats on the 200! What great ideas you have here. I wonder if there is something like that craft fair over here. We have them around holidays but they are always more formal type things. Thanks again for coming over, have a great weekend! Love Stacy

Hi, I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at your things. I am going to have a new Grand baby soon and will certainly make some of those bibs! The fabrics you used were very cute and using sheets for lounge pants-how creative! Enjoy your little bundle and thanks so much for sharing. Congratulations on your 200 posts; I know you are going to have many more.

Love your site!! SO many pretty designs!

pamelstarr said...

I just found your blog today and must say it is a very engaging and informative one. I love your pretty patterns. Also, your tutorial on knitting socks is very instrutctional. I have been knitting for many years myself, however have never mastered the kitchener stitch therefore I tend to only knit heeless socks for that reason. I bookmarked your site so I may return to it quite frequently and will also be subscribing to it. I feel it is one of the best blogs with a great deal of content I have come across. I have a knitting blog myself but only just begun it a few months back. Keep up the great work. I am also glad for the entry into your giveaway. Whoever wins will be extremely fortunate to get all those goodies. Good luck to everyone.
