Blogversary Giveaway!!!

This giveaway is now closed!  Thank you to all who participated!  :)

Hello friends!!!  Thanks so much for being patient, as we all know that I'm 9 days late in celebrating my two year blogversary!  (I'm almost positive I'm the only one counting the days, but I thought I'd throw it out there!)  :)

I have a couple of GREAT items ready for this grand occasion!

The first name picked via Random.org will win this adorable canvas Market Tote Bag!

The Market Tote measures 16" tall x 15.5" wide, with a 3.5" boxed bottom.


The handles are made of cotton fabric on the front, and canvas on the back, for extra strength.  The Market Tote is adorned with a sweet white 3.5" felt flower, and attached with a broach pin, which means it can be removed and worn on your favorite jacket, etc.


In addition, I am now open for sponsors!  How exciting is that???  :)  I'm offering up one 200x200 advertising space and two 200x100 advertising spaces.  Each winning space will come with all of the benefits of a paid sponsor (guest post, giveaway option, etc.).

    I am a huge fan of handmade creations! My favorites would have to be a tie between all the scrapbooks my mom has made for me and the 2 handmade quilts Marc and I have (one made by you and one by friends from IHC)

    My favorite handemade creation is a fillet crochet tablecloth that my mom made for me from a japanese pattern for my HUGE dining room table. She is a genius! She could only go by the symbols and her talent and she made it. I only use it for special holidays.. it is just THAT special! It will be handed down in the family with strict orders!

    You are very creative Candice! I like to read your blog and learn about what you are sewing next. I also would like to know what does Home Depot have that is cheaper than Michaels and JoAnns?

    My favorite handmade item is my Maw-Maw blanket. That's what we call our grandma. She made one for me and each of my sisters. It's always cool when you need it to be and warm when you need it to be. It's always personalized with an animal that represents each of us. Mine is a bunny haha :)Thanks for the giveaway!

    My favorite handmade item is a pillow I own that was made for me by a dear friend. It is linen and has a black birdcage with a bird on it and it is so pretty and obviously took a lot of time and effort to make. I don't know how to sew so therefore I really appreciate handmade gifts. I wish I was more creative! Thank you for the chance to win this awesome giveaway. Sincerely, Carolyn, Samandcarolyn1@aol.com

    My favorite hand made thing... well I am the handy craft girl in my family so I don't have a lot that others have made me but one friend knit me a scarf a couple of years ago and I adore it. It also got ma back into knitting so double reason to love it.

    My favorite handmade possession is actually a clutch, it is the first thing I ever made in fashion. It is not the best looking thing, but it was such a hard task for me, so many little steps and I just wanted to see the end result. I still have it, and even though I have made so many more items that look a lot better, I am still very proud of that first clutch.

    Gosh, hard to decide! My mom is still in the process of making a quilt for me she started 10 years ago...haha! When it's done, though, it will go to my daughter as an instant heirloom :)
