I Won! =-)

DeeRoo had a give-away a couple of weeks ago, and

I Won! 

I couldn't believe it!  But even more,

i could NOT BELIEVE what she SENT me!!!
Look:

A shot so you can see that there *was*  sun when my daughter (Bunny) started taking pictures, but it was movin' FAST!

I was sorta expecting the package in the mail, but when i saw it,

I squealed like a little girl!  =-)

It contained TWO mug rugs (like coasters, but large enough for your coffee mug *and* a cookie or muffin):

What i'm callin' the "front" 'cause i love it so!

What i think DeeRoo intended as the front, and they're BEAUTIFUL!

 She also sent a mini quilt (which is what the give-away was for), which is on my kitchen counter at the moment, but i may hang it on the wall:

Beautiful!

And she has a pre-made label on the back! 

I want pre-made labels! [whine]

Love!

Dee also gave me a pattern to try out, and she sent along the *sweetest* note with my package! 

Pattern on the left and Love Note on the right.  =-)

And, as if all the above wasn't enough, Dee also sent me two batik fat quarters!  She said she felt such love and support from me when she started her blog, that she felt like i deserved all of this love...

I almost cried when i got this package in the mail...

Beautiful fabrics i'll make something with...

Thank you SO MUCH Dee!!! You're the BEST!

Here's everything together in one pic.  The sun was setting SOOO fast!  I had to continually move things as Bunny was taking the pix.  I wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't been there to see it myself!

Thank you Dee for having a give-away for your One Year Blogging Anniversary!

May you have many more GREAT years!

=-)

A Few Give-Aways

In my perusing of quilters' blogs, I've stumbled across a few give-aways that I thought you'd like to know about.
Christine over at "Front Porch Indiana" is giving away a pattern called "Heritage Sampler" by Lori Smith. Go check it out! (Sorry, but you'll have to copy & paste since I'm not into linking right now... )

That's it for now! Do you know of any give-aways? Let others know about 'em! =-)

'Til next time...

Give Away!

Rachael is having a give-away of some IKEA fabric on her blog!

Go show some love! =-)

This is the first give-away I've ever entered in Blogland...
I've seen plenty of them, but this is really the first one that I was honestly interested in. I don't enter these things "just because it's something free"! I think that's not fair to those who really really want whatever is being given...

But maybe that's just me.

And in case anyone's been wondering, yes, I know I finished the baby quilt and yes, I know I haven't posted any pictures yet...
I'm still waiting on my daughter to help me with that...



Don't get your hopes up too much. It's really not that great...
