:::GIVEAWAY! CHRISTMAS IN JUNE FQ BUNDLE:::

First, I would like to apologize for not being able to post the giveaway before.  I took pictures and then went to upload and both of my camera batteries were dead.  Had to wait for them to charge.





Summer is here!  I am hoping to take advantage of the next couple of months and get my handmade Christmas gifts done.  I am giving away a FQ bundle of some lovely fabrics along with a pattern.  It's a $50 value!  If you are looking to get a headstart on some gifts for Christmas leave me a comment and tell me what you would like to make with the FQ bundle. This beautiful bundle would make a great quilt to snuggle up with on the couch on those cold winter nights.  

 I will leave the giveaway open until Monday at midnight and post the winner on Tuesday morning.

The winner of Christmas in July giveaway #2 is 

Gail!

Congratulations Gail!

I will be sending you an email so I can get this cookie cookbook out to you.

and now on to todays giveaway.

If you like to quilt and you like to help others, than this book is for you.

With a husband who served in the armed forces it would be an honor to be able to  make a sawtooth quilt like the one below for a local wounded soldier.

or what about this one....

Having had two preemies it would be  oh so special to be able to make these for my local hospitals NICU unit.  This easy preemie pinwheel quilt is just precious.

The book is well done, and beautifully put together.  They give you directions to make the quilts pictured; as well as organizations to be able to donate your quilts to.

To enter this giveaway please comment and tell me if you are a quilter and what organization you would like to help out if you could and why.

I will close the giveaway on Sunday at midnight central time.  I will announce the winner on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

::CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIVEAWAY #2::

It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas.  This year I am thinking about it early and hope to get shopping, sewing and quilting done way ahead of time.

Sometimes though you just want to give a little something to a neighbor or friend around Christmas time.  That's a great time to give a foodie gift.

The giveaway for today  is a cookbook for cookies.  Cookies that can be made not just at Christmas, but any time of year.  It's the Great Cookie Book put out by the creators of the original Bundt Pan...NordicWare.

As you can see from my last giveaway, I don't believe in making you jump through all kinds of hoops to win something.  All you have to do is leave me a comment with your favorite cookie that you like to bake and why it's your favorite.  That's it!

I will leave the giveaway open until Thursday midnight central time.  After that the giveaway is closed.  I will post on Friday who won.

In addition to posting the winner on Friday morning, I will be posting yet another book giveaway.  It won't be a cookbook.  I will leave you with a hint....quilting! 

Have a great day!

::CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIVEAWAY!!!!:::

Hey everyone!

GIVEAWAY DAY is finally here!!

I am feeling mighty generous..as if it were Christmas.  : )

Do you like food?  Do you like to cook or bake?  Do you like to "put up?" (that's canning for folks that have never heard that) I love to do all the above too.  Have y'all ever heard of Pdub?  If you haven't you have been missing out.  She is a writer, blogger, wife and mom and this year she will be starting season three of her cooking show on the Food Network.

 She has her new cookbook out and it is fabulous!  If you love her blog and how she shares recipes there then you will love this cookbook.  She shows you step-by-step with beautiful pictures how to do each recipe.   And they are in color y'all.  Lotsa of them. Theres also pics of her lovely family in there and even their dog Charlie. 

All you have to do is leave a comment below and tell me one of her recipes you would like to make.  If you haven't seen her show or been to her blog than share a favorite recipe you like to make.  Now I don't mean type out the recipe.  Just tell me something your family likes to eat that you cook or bake.  That's it!

Now go tell all your bloggy friends because if you generate enough folks to come on over and enter the giveaway I can use that "number generator thingie."  That would be lotsa fun to do.

Sunday night at midnight central time will be the last time you will be able to enter.  Monday morning I will post the winner!

Have a great weekend everyone!Pin It Now!
