A week ago Saturday, I erroneously mentioned that I was going to have a giveaway for SewMamaSew giveawaypalooza. Except I got my dates wrong. Yeah, sounds like me. π Well it gave me time to think and to change my mind, slightly. I am not going to link up to SMS (although I highly recommend stopping by – there is great loot!) because I would rather have this giveaway go to all of you who make a trip to stop by on a regular basis. Thank you so much for coming to visit me.
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.) So if you’d like to enter feel free to leave a comment. Giveaway goes until Friday, Dec 16 at midnight MST. GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Winners listed at the bottom of the post.
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

December 13, 2011 at 4:33 pmAww that's lovely of you, I'd love to win! <br /><br />As 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. π <br />Xx

December 13, 2011 at 4:59 pmOoh, what a fab prize, thanks for the chance to win. I might even forgive you for having 'Christmas in England' rather than 'in the UK', you know, as they're not one and the same, and there's a good 10 million of us kicking around in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that do crackers too ;o)

Kalynn's Creations
December 14, 2011 at 12:13 pmThat looks like a fun quilt to make, I have 4 grandchildren that would love to have one. <br />As 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.

December 14, 2011 at 12:25 pmAh 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.
