YOUR CHOICE Give~Away!!

Are you ready to have some fun?? I thought I'd do something a bit different this time in honor of all my wonderful followers and my 2 yr. blogaversary! So here goes~READ carefully so as not to confuse any of you or myself~HA!! (it doesn't take much to confuse me, so I hope this makes sense)! I tried really hard to pick/make items for everyone's taste.

I'm going to give you all a choice as to which group of items you'd like to win!! There are 3 groups from which to choose, Group A ~ is mostly for gingerbread lovers. Group B is mostly for sewers/quilters. Group C is mostly for cross stitch lovers. There will be 3 winners chosen, one from each group!

In your comment, you will need to include several things, but all in the SAME comment. I do not want you to have to fill out several comments, so just make notes if you have to, LOL.

First of all this is open to the U.S, Canada and the UK. ONLY my followers can enter!! NEW followers are more than WELCOME to join in!! The more the merrier!! Just let me know if you're new, so I can welcome you!
You do NOT have to have a blog of your own, but make sure I have a way of contacting you.
Second, you will get UP to 7 entries per person. (I will explain this in a minute).
Third, you will need to include which group you prefer to win. Group A, B or C.

Here's how it works:
ONE entry for being a follower.
ONE MORE entry for making a separate post about it on your blog, linking back to me.
TWO more entries for posting on your sidebar about it~ (so it will stay up the duration Nov. 15th ~ Nov. 25th).
THREE more entries if I'm listed on your sidebar of favorite blogs to visit.
Group A ~ has all gingerbread themed items~ a handmade wooly homespun towel, handmade wool ornament(made by Valerie), a gingerbread saltdough boy and a great smelling fragrant sashet.
Group B ~ includes over a yard and a fourth of the blue holiday fabric by Debbie Mumm, a fat quarter of Deb Strain's new fabric line~(Making Friends) and a fat eighth of the green trees in the same fabric line, plus 3 sewing/quilting patterns~ A turtle pincushion, a darling patchwork bag and a quilted tablerunner, plus a needlecard that has 21 assorted needles and a threader in it, and a seam ripper.
Group C~ includes a Pine Mt. pillow kit(already stitched for you, w/a darling handmade clay mitten button), a holiday project bag (that I made up myself from 2 different patterns), a Heart in Hand snowman graph(Whee Willie) and an angel Mill Hill beaded kit.
Here's a few close-up pics of some of the various items I've included in the 3 groups.
That's it~PHEW! I hope you lasted this long~LOL. Good luck everyone and I'll draw 3 names late next Fri. nite on the 25th. I'll give the winners a couple of days to get back w/me, then mail the packages out early the following wk. so you'll have them in plenty of time to enjoy for the holidays!

***Tanya***~email me if you're still confused or have any questions.

Lynn said...

Hello,
I am a new follower. I would love to win group A! I am trying to decorate my kitchen more for the Christmas season. I usually just change my handtowels and pot holders to Christmas Theme ones and I have a really small tree that is decorated with small hand painted wooden cows and small painted birdhouses. So I would love the gingerbread goodies to place in my kitchen. I will post this in my blog post and put it on my sidebar. I have added you to the blogs I follow so hopefully it will show up on my blog.
Hugs, and thanks so much for the chance to win! You are such a generous blogger.
Hugs,
