A RAK and a Birthday Giveaway

I know, I know, two posts in one day!  What can I say?  I'm hoping that this will be a good week!

Remember Friday's post?  Well, here is the finished project.  Not too shabby if I do say so myself!  Hubby even got into the act with this one and he picked out the button.  I don't know about you, but I think he did a great job.

This little pillow was put in the mail this morning, so I hope it goes by "pony express" instead of "snail mail" if you know what I mean.  I hope that my RAK recipient enjoys it.

Now, onto other business..........  While I was Estate Sale shopping this weekend, I picked up not one, but two self contained glass flower frogs.  So, in celebration of my birthday this Thursday, I'm giving you the gift! (You can also check out another photo of this frog on the earlier post.)


Here are your rules:
  1. Make a comment on this post only if you wish to participate. 
  2. For a second entry, let others know about my giveaway.  You may either blog about it or post it somewhere on your blog.  You must comment a second time telling me that you have done this in order to get the second entry.
  3. For a third entry, in a separate comment, tell me about your most cherished birthday gift.  You must comment a separate time in order to get this entry.
Unfortunately, due to the high cost of postage, I can only award this prize to an address in the U.S..  However, if you live outside the U.S. and you would still like to participate, I will send you an alternate stitched surprise if your name is drawn.  This way everyone still has a chance to win!

The contest ends at Midnight EST on Friday, August 13th.  I will draw the winner over the weekend and announce it on Monday, August 16th.

Good luck!  Happy Un-Birthday to all of you!

Happy Stitching!

I've Decided

After writing yesterday's post, I think it is much better to give than to receive.  So, in that spirit I've started this little goodie from the 2010 JCS Ornament Preview Issue.......


'Tis Green

The picture is very deceiving and the colors are much more vibrant in real life.  I'm thinking that I may turn this into a pin cushion.  I've seen it all stitched up that way on other blogs and it sure is lovely.  Plus it would make a great RAK (hint, hint to those of you who emailed me with addresses)!  So, I'm putting aside the "regularly scheduled stitching" in order to continue with the giving.

Speaking of giving, don't forget to check out my sidebar for various giveaways.  I just put one there from Fiona.  She wants to celebrate 100 followers.

So, I'm sticking with my theory........it is better to give than receive!  Try it sometime!

Happy Stitching!
