One of My Favorite Giveaways Yet!

I found a new blog, Blinkles Boulevard, along with an Etsy shop with the most wonderful things! Janee has created some scrumptious little marvels that just take my breath away, combining two of my favorite things - nature and miniatures! As greedy as I am, and as much as I hate to let more people in on a chance for something I really, really want, I can't NOT share this great blog with everyone! I'm hoping it's okay to take one of Janee's photos from her blog to share with you, to let you know how serious I am about this!



Look, look! Aren't they SWEET?!? I just love these!

Just Checking In and a Giveaway from BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH

I'm currently in Maryland visiting family. I'm staying with Mom and have seen my aunt, JoAnne, cousins David and Jeff, and Jeff's twin daughters, Jenna and Jessica.

Then Mom & I drove down to Salisbury (still in Maryland) to see my brothers, Tres (Homer) and Kevin, and their families. I got to visit with sisters-in-law Karen and Mary Jane, nephews & their spouses, Brian & Angey and Michael & Lauren, and nieces Kelly and Katie. Then there were my nephews' children, Owen, Audrey, Lydia and Logan. Logan was only 10 days old when I met him! When we get back to Mom's, I still have to see my cousin Becky & her family, and my sister-in-law Cassie and her boys! Can't wait! I love visiting family; it's so much fun and laughter and filled with love. And I love it up here in Maryland. I forget just how beautiful it is up here, then I visit in autumn (my favorite time of year, especially up here!) and see the beautiful homes and the trees/woods and the mums and pumpkins and cornshocks and it kind of makes my chest hurt just a little, because I realize what I've missed all these years! (sniff, sniff!)

Now, for the really fun stuff! I visited one of the blogs I follow this morning, Between Naps on the Porch and author Susan is hosting a giveaway that is beautiful! (Welcome to the 37th Metamorphosis Monday and a Fall Give-a-Way!) Visit her blog and see the stunning "Give Thanks" autumn tassel that she is giving away, courtesy of Angela, who has an etsy shoppe, The Tassel House. If you visit there, you will find more tassels, for sale! Good luck to you if you enter the giveaway (but I really hope I win!!!) ;)

A SWEET Giveaway from Tattered Threads and Willing Hands!!!

I just had to let you know that there's another giveaway on another wonderful quilting blog! Can you believe it? Julie from Tattered Threads and Willing Hands. Go to her blog and read her statement and her entry entitled "Me..." to learn more about her. I love the quote I read there - "I know Jesus, and I talk to God." It comes from one of her favorite country songs. I'll have to find out what song it's from if I can't successfully google it! She sounds like a winner to me, and I can't wait to read more of her blog and get to know her better.

In the meantime, run on over FAST to Tattered Threads & Willing Hands (click on the title of this post to get there) and see for yourself! Julie has a kit to give away in honor of Mother's Day! When you stop by her site, check out the May 10th post and you'll see the photos for this wonderful kit! You won't believe how adorable the one someone else made turned out - photo of that , too! Again, RUN! DON"T WALK to Julie's site to enter, because it ends at midnight tonight! I'm sorry, I didn't figure out soon enough how to link up to another blog! Eek!

You've Got to Check THIS Out!

There is a great giveaway on a blog I've discovered lately! You need to go to see what a lovely quilt is being given away by Elizabeth of Pigtails and Snails! You won't believe it until you see it! My favorites - ROSES - are involved here! I don't know for sure what I'm doing here, trying to add a button and a link (or whatever it's called!) So, suffice it to say that if all else fails, here is the link to her blog:

http://pigtailsandsnails.blogspot.com/

You'll want to look at the entry entitled "Pink-A-Boo I've got eyes for you!"

Of course, should you happen to enter AND win, I will expect you to pass your winnings on to me ;)!! Ok, I suppose I'd better add in there that I'm kidding, so no one takes me to court! I meant no harm!!!

Ok, back to the giveaway and Elizabeth. To discover more about her, browse through her blog. She's got almost 4 children (1 on the way!), is married (praise the Lord!), and enjoys sewing and quilting. She's got some beautiful photos of her projects.
