A New Year, A New Giveaway

For a couple of days now, I have been toying with the idea of starting off 2012 with a Giveaway! I have a few ideas in mind, but thought I would make this one extra special (seeing that I haven’t hosted a giveaway in quite some time). I won’t bore you with any mundane rules as this favorite thingswill be open to ALL of my followers! I am going to call this “A Few of My Favorite Things” Giveaway. There is a reason and it is the song of the same name, lol.

So, tell me, what are a few of your favorite things? Do you have a favorite designer? A favorite style? How about a favorite fabric or floss? I know you have a favorite candy and I am willing to bet it is chocolate, but can you be more specific??

Now, the above questions are just to get the ball rolling. I will draw the winner’s name on January 1, 2012!

Good Luck~~~

How fun! I've really enjoyed reading everyone responses so far.

My favourite design is Teresa Wentzler. My favourite book is Dune by Frank Herbert and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. My favourite movie is Cleopatra (but Gone with the Wind is a close second). And, my favourite thing to do (besides stitching) is to snooze in bed, with a good book beside me.

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
