♥GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Even though the 4th of July is an American Celebration of Independence, I would like to invite everyone from around the world is to join in. I’ll explain more as you read on.
If you’d like to play, here’s what to do.
1. Leave a comment on this post and your name will be entered once.
2. If you do a blog post about my giveaway and post the giveaway button on your blog with a link back to my blog, then you’ll get five additional entries. For those of you who post about giveaways in your sidebar, that’s fine too. Please make sure you tell me that you’ve done this so I can award you with the bonus entries.
When you post your comments, please indicate which item you’d like to win and your name will be entered with that item. To give everyone a fair chance, please enter your name only once and for one item only. For those of you who complete #2 above, I will personally enter your five additional entries under the item you originally selected. Also, if you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address where you may be contacted in the event that you are one of the winners.
The drawing will take place on Friday, July 3rd and I will ship internationally.
Now let’s have some fun!

Karen what a lovely giveaway. The needlecase I would tag along proudly.
Hello Kaaren, love to be in the draw for #4.....will place your button on my sidebar.....Warm Regards Lyn
Your work is lovely and your painting is just gorgeous. I enlarged all of the photos. :o) Well if I have to choose just one I'll say the sewing box/pincushion. :o)
I love those giveaways! It is a hard choice to pick just one.....I think the Americana themed needle case is the one I would chose. I love your handpained reproduction box. You are very talented. I am a fellow Canadian. I went to Ryerson years ago in Toronto.
you are so very talented. this is a lovely giveaway. I would be honored to win any of your gifts.
Kaaren your work is beautiful! Love the new sewing box and will definately give that a try. I would love instructions on your needle case. Thanks so much for showing us all you do and spark our own creativity! Patti L.
Oops Kaaren, I forgot to give you my choice and e-mail addy. I would like to be entered for the painted tool case. I don't paint and that is beautiful My addy is plautumn@yahoo.com.. Thanks so much, Patti
I hate having to pick one prize over another, they are all so nice. Think I'll try for the needle case. I don't have one of those yet...might help me keep track of all my 'wandering' needles!
amazing work, I love the painted utensil box but I love things that are patriotic, so my choice is either 1 or 2.
I love them both.
thanks for the opportunity to win one of your treasures.
Kathie
Kaaren - what wonderful things you are offering in your giveaway - I would love to have any one of them - I'm not sure I will be able to accomplish the link on my blog and so forth so you better just put in for 1 chance on one of the patriotic items. Thank you kindly Melody
How nice--I would like to win them all, but I will choose #2!! thanks--julie
All the items are very nice but I especially think the pillow is very cute.
Wow, what a lovely giveaway. All the gifts are wonderful but #4 calls my name.
Please add me to the drawing. I'll will post about your giveaway on my blog but for the life of me I don't know how to put it on a sidebar. I will just post about it with a link.

i just love that little utensil box, I'd love to be in the drawing. I haven's figured out how to do a link back on my blog yet so can't put one there, but if anyone takes pity on me and helps me out, I will do it in a flash. Happy 4th to you too, even if I don't win.
You do beautiful work.
Hi Kaaren, four beautiful things and I love them all. I think I'd like to be in the draw for the needle case. And your spring gardens are delicious! It must be a real treat for the senses to stroll through the loveliness of spring flowers.
thanks Cheryl
Wow, Kaaren - what a great idea - and the best giveawy I ever saw!
I definitely stand in line and hope for good luck!
And (:hint: :hint: :hint: :hint: )
for me as somebody who could see life in the USA and meet sooo many great and nice people in the States one of the patriotic giveaways would mean the most. So please put me definitely in the drawing for those, if possible.
I'll try to put you on my website, too, but since I've never really done that before, I have to mess about it a little first.
But why do you as a Canadian (I loved your siggy by the way) give away Americana?
Kaaren I love reading your blog and seeing all your wonderful projects. I love Americana and red/white/blue. Thanks for the opportunity to win some of your works.
WOW - such beautiful things your giving away and it's hard to pick just one - but I'm thinking I would love the needle keeper - it's something I would use all the time and would be perfect for my decorating - hey I could leave it out all the time and not feel bad, lol. Thank you for throwing my name in the hat :).
Karen

Hia Kaaren, I was just popping my head in. Wow this is so generous of you. I would love number 4 -the little hand painted box. I think it would help tidy me up a bit. :-)
I was so in awe of all the items in the give away I didn't name just one that I liked the best-so I deleted my original post-sorry!!
They are all so lovely that it is hard to chose one. I think I will go with #4. thanks so much for the generous offer!

Kaaren, you are truly talented. I would love to win the needlecase. I've always wanted to make one, just never seem to have the time to do it. Thanks
Hello Karen
I found your blog while reading Bluebird Quilts blog.
All of the items you have made are fabulous,
Please enter me for the Americana Needlecase. I like it because of the Patriotic theme , colors of red, white and blue and the words " I Pledge Allegiance" on the cover. I plan to write a post on your blog as well. Can I copy and paste the button image for the giveaway? I'll try.
