So for you I put together a bunch of goodies including an I-spy Charm pack and quilt pattern. This will be the grand prize for the first winner chosen, but I will also pick 5 others and send you one of my patterns (your choice.)
Homemade Christmas Crackers for sharing with the 2nd grade class about "Christmas in England"
I may be a little bit scarce this week - we've got a full slate of Christmas hoopla going on (Orchestra performance, dance recital, elementary school Christmas sing, piano performance, 2nd grade class party, husband's office party . . . and somewhere in there I need to find time to finish all the Christmas shopping before the kids get out for Christmas vacation on Friday. Whew!) I'm still waiting for the "all is calm" part of Christmas to show up, but I'll take the craziness too.
Grand prize winner: Jennie!
Pattern winners: Elle, mjb, Cassandra, Christie S. & Theresa

Thanks for the chance, Amy!
ReplyDeleteHomemade crackers? Wonderful! Although, whenever I see Christmas crackers I think of Mr. Bean and the one he gave to his distressed girlfriend...
Thanks for doing this !

ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas countdown Quilt! Will you be making up a pattern for it? Just wanted to add that we make Christmas crackers in Sweden too.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutly LOVE reading your blog, it's the highlight of my days at many times, sure beats work! Have a wonderful xmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I totally understand what you mean, somehow I'd also feel much better if I'd had everything already sorted for Christmas, but on the other hand the preparations are a big part of the fun! :-) I always try not to stress too much about the details and that works out ok most of the time. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Thanks for saving it for us. I did enter some of the SMS giveaways, but I always feel a tad bit guilty commenting on a blog that I don't normally follow.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for the "all is calm" part too! This is my first year with both my kids in school; there is always something to do or donate there! It's all fun though :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHope things calm down soon. Thank you for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Love the crackers, as a former first grade teacher I taught about Boxing Day for the Celebrations Around the World and we did include English Crackers in the Social Studies segment. Seeing those brought back great memories for me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to win. You have a wonderful blog and great tutorials. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThis certainly is a busy time of year. What a lovely giveaway, I'd love to win. I hope to make an I Spy quilt someday, It is on my list, and I've been collecting fabrics for it. I think it would be such fun for my grandchildren someday.

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make an I-Spy quilt! Thanks for having the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful stuff. I've just started following you from Hampshire, UK
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI came here via an email I received from Accuquilt with you as a blogger Spotlight feature!
ReplyDeleteLoved the article on Not All Triangles are Created Equal!
Thanks for such a great give away and I will follow your blog!
I would love to enter your give away. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have NO IDEA how much I'd LOVE to win....pretty please!!!! With sugar on top!
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous! Enjoy all the Christmas craziness!
ReplyDeleteI hope your calm comes soon! Mine won't be here until Christmas break is over (and it hasn't even started yet!!). It's all worth the craziness though ;) Thanks for the chance at your fabulous giveaway. I have collecting prints for an I Spy Quilt and these would be a perfect addition. Oh, and congrats on your Blogger Spotlight with Accuquilt! Smiles~Beth
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway! Happy Holidays :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYour bundle of goodies would make anyone happy to be a winner. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun quilt to make, I have 4 grandchildren that would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteAs far as waiting for the 'all is calm' not sure any of us are patient enough to get all the way there. My all is calm time is when I sit down to my machine and no one wants me to do something for them. Doesn't happen often, but is heaven when it does.
calm? What is that? Let me know if you find it. Love the countdown quilt and would love to win some of your goodies. Thanks for the offering.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the Christmas madness... The Twelve Days of Christmas seem to have turned into the 24 days of crafty (happy) panic. Still, my 2 little ones are having a great time each morning using their advent calendars to learn to count. "Mum, is it a one and a four this morning?". Thanks for the seasonal giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSuch a generous giveaway. Thanks for your great blog and the chance to win.
ReplyDeletewow! very generous! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThank so much for being so generous to all your loyal readers. I think the calm part comes when the kids are gone, so enjoy it now!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway - I LOVE your patterns! Merry Christmas!

You sound very busy - I hope you find the calm eventually - have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of you!! Thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteThat's very nice! I hope you make it through the week and can enjoy the holiday! I've done absolutely nothing to get ready yet, which is fine (no little ones yet), but I hope to get to my holiday baking soon. That's my favorite part, I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. And the link to the Christmas Crackers. I love learning about Christmas traditions!
ReplyDeleteAnd hopefully you'll get your "all is calm" at least on 12/26.
