Christmas Giveaway!

It’s been a while since my last giveaway so in the spirit of the season, I decided that there’s no better time than now!

DSCN0611

Earlier this week I received my latest quilting book order from Martingale Publishing and thought that it would be a good time to take inventory and make a list of all my books.  If the truth be known, I couldn’t remember what I had or didn’t have and in so doing, guess what I found?  A duplicate…and as smarty pants…I mean Mr. Painted Quilt said, “Only one?”   (I’ve been known to do this before with novels).  I guess I really liked the book, huh?

So if you’d like to add this brand new, never-been-used copy of Joanna Figueroa’s book called, “fresh vintage sewing” to your collection, then just leave me a comment telling me so.  It’s full of different projects…like pincushions…which is probably why I bought two of them…as well as quilts and other sew-y things.

Frankie thinks it’s a swell book.  He just wishes that I’d stop interrupting his naps while I go around the house snapping pictures.  *wink*

Oh…and to sweeten the pot, I’m going to include a bunch of fat quarters as well…and I’ll ship internationally!

You all know the drill.  If you have yourself set as “do not show email address” in your blogger profile, then I won’t be able to contact you.  No email address means no chance of winning.  Just include your email address with your comment if you’d rather not change your settings. 

My friend Mr. Randon Number Generator will spin the wheel sometime on Wednesday morning, the 21st, after which time I’ll announce the winner.

Having said that…

House st Christmas

I took the above photo of our house last night around 8 p.m.

Your thoughts and prayers would be appreciated as we travel to Halifax tomorrow for the PET scan results.

Note:  My Christmas giveaway is now closed.  Thanks to all who entered.

You are not the only one with buying duplicates of books (I blame the publishers who sometimes redesign the cover);).
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I have loved reading your blog Kaaren. Thank you for sharing your lovely FFF's. I have been praying for you on a daily basis. I just recently was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had a radical and complete hysterectomy. Thankfully, it appears I am now cancer free. I have to continue being monitored but have no further signs of cancer.
May you be encouraged by the many prayers being prayed by friends far and wide-known and unknown. God bless you!
