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


































Would love to win! Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteAww that's lovely of you, I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteAs a brit it would be nice if you could mention the rest of Britain as well as England with your 2nd graders. Us Welsh and Scottish often get forgotten even though along with northern Ireland we're all part of the UK. :)

What a great bundle of goodies! THANKS for the chance!

ReplyDeleteOoh, what a fab prize, thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI'm a recent follower and would love a chance to win one of your prizes. The I Spy charm pack really caught my eye because of the owls, which was my school mascot all those many years ago. What a pretty quilt it makes! Thank you once again for the opportunity! It sounds like you have a busy week so have fun!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! I would love to win! Best of luck getting all your to dos done this week!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win!
ReplyDeleteI think the "all is calm" comes late Christmas morning when you are surrounded by gift wrap, candy wrappers, orange peels and content kiddos playing with new toys.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet giveaway!
I kind of wish I didn't link up to SMS myself! I get some of the strangest comments! The ones that make me mad are when they say they don't use what I'm giving away (I'm giving away charm packs). What the heck?!?!? Then why are you entering? Just because it's free? Rude! Anywho! I love what you're giving away, especially that tape!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWe're in end of term meltdown too - combined with my grandmother being taken ill and my Mum being more stressed out over her than usual! only 11 more days and it will all be over!
This is a very busy time of year but it can be so filled with the joy of giving if we keep Christmas in our hearts!! I'm so looking forward to this Christmas because our daughter and grandchildren will be visiting from Maine! Thank you for an opportunity to win! Good luck to all. Be blessed!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I remember those school days, and miss them too! Enjoy the performances they end way too soon. Love the crackers! and thank you for the giveaway for your loyal readers out here. Enjoy your week!
