Giveaway

Have you seen some of the really great kids beds out there lately? I can see my boys, who share a room loving this bunk bed. With the cool slide down from the top bunk and the awesome tent for the bottom bunk maybe there wouldn't be any fighting over who got which bunk. They could even be open to switching bunks!

Or this bed since they both love Lightning McQueen. I remember when our oldest son got the Cars DVD in his stocking for Christmas a few years back. We must have watched that movie thousands of times. It's still a family favourite and we know all the words to the entire movie.

This bed would be great for a little girl!

Check out the other kids furniture and room accessories on this web site. Including wall hangings like below (love them!).



And this one would even work for a tween's room and could still work in a teen's room (if you have a girly-girl - which I don't).

I can so see my boys loving this Farm Themed table and chairs set.

My daughter would have loved this table and chairs set when she was little.

All of the above items (and more) can be found on this web site.

I could see myself baking cookies in this fantastic apron and getting kids the cookies and milk while they sit at the Farm themed table and chairs.

Thank you all so much for sharing your favourite part of the holidays with me. I started to respond to comments, but with a slow dial up connection (we don't live in an area that has access to high speed internet or cable) that is not going to be possible - it would take at least 4-5 days and I just don't have time right now. Please know that I do appreciate all of your comments. Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope I have some new regular readers.

In fairness to all the others who did tell me their favourite part of the holidays, there were a few people that did not answer the question, and they were removed from the draw. I used the random number thingy. The winner is baukje. Baukje I will email you today. Please contact me no later than 9 PM Eastern Standard Time with your full name and address and I will get your package sent off to you!

Sorry to all of those who did not win this one. I plan on doing at least one giveaway in the New Year - so check back again!

Giveaway Day!!!!!

Thanks to the ladies at Sew, Mama, Sew for organizing this whole Giveaway Day!

Sorry the picture isn't better. It's dark outside when I leave home to go to work and it's dark when I get home and to tell the truth I just decided when I got home tonight exactly what I was going to giveaway.


I'm giving away a half yard of the black fabric with the red, yellow and pink flowers on it and a fat quarter of the green fabric. The green is actually more of a lime green than it shows in the picture. The black fabric has been previously washed and dried in the dryer. The green fabric quarter has not been laundered. I wanted to throw some buttons in that went with the fabrics, so I sorted through my button collection. There is 1 red button and two yellow buttons to go with the black fabric. To go with the green fabric I found a cute blue flower button, a green heart, and 3 other blue buttons (2 small buttons and 1 larger one). I'm also giving away a little box of bobbins - there are 12 in the box. I'm also throwing in a little handmade something. I haven't decided what it is yet - so it will be a surprise.

This giveaway is open until December 6 at 9 pm eastern. I will randomly pick a winner shortly after. To enter, please leave a comment telling me your favourite thing about the holiday season. It could be a favourite recipe (please share - I like to try out new recipes), an activity etc. Please ensure you leave an email address so I can email you if you win. Any anonymous comments without an email address will not be entered. The winner will have until December 9th at 9 pm eastern to claim their prize. If the prize is unclaimed I will announce another winner. Good luck! And go check out the other giveaways at the Sew, Mama, Sew blog!

Edited to add - This Giveaway is open to international entries as well.
