Blogiversary & Giveaway!
Wow, I can't believe I've been blogging for a year today! We are having company come into town this afternoon, so I'll keep this short and sweet. I already did a yearly re-cap here, so no need for another.
I just want to say thank you to all of you that read and comment and make me happy! Leave a comment and one lucky reader will win this Bag o' Swag.
It's the bag I made here & it is filled to the brim with lots of cool sewing stuff. I don't have sponsors, so this is all from my stash - but everything is still new, the magazines just lightly browsed through. Lucky for one of you, I got two copies of Zakka Style for Christmas & thought this would be more fun than sending it back to Amazon. There is lots of Japanese linen newsprint fabric & paper fabric (air mail, ruled notepaper, etc), tons of fat quarter, fat eighths, a few patterns, etc. You'll just have to see!
So three rules:
1. any comment, tell me something fun...
2. this is to thank a reader, so you must be a follower
3. this must go to a US address, as I'm stuffing it in a flat rate box. I'm happy to ship to a friend who can forward it to you, just need a US address.
That's it - I'll leave it open until Monday evening & then mr. random will decide. Good Luck!!! -Courtney

ooh, first comment! happy blogiversary, and i hope there are many more to come! mostly i want to thank you for being a great source of material and inspiration- right now i am potty training my 2 year old, so when i get a break from sitting on the bathroom floor it is nice to find pretty things to look at!

Happy bloggiversary! I very much enjoy reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway!! Happy Blogiversary! I love your Scrappy Quilt tutorial! I'm hoping to use it for my first real go at quilting this year. So many possibilities. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYay! Happy Blogiversary!! I have been following you for quite some time. I really enjoy reading and enjoying all your crafty goodness. You said to tell you something fun....I decided to tell you something funny. I am also a mother of two boys one of which who is potty training right now. A while back he asked what his bits and bobs were. I called in my husband to explain....I came back in to my almost 3 year old telling me all about his Pesticles! Yes I said Pesticles...I couldn't stop laughing!! I guess dad told him the actual names and he decided it was too difficult to remember them separately so he put the two words together. We corrected him but on occasion he still uses his own made up term. I hope that gave you a good giggle!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very generous giveaway ....I really appericate a chance to win.
Wow, what a fantastic prize! I can't believe you have only been blogging a year! You are a natural.
ReplyDeleteSomething fun? Well, this sewing is a little out of my comfort zone, but for Christmas my littlest got an American Girl type doll that she adores. So for her birthday next week I got her a little wooden wardrobe and each night I make an article of clothing for the doll. So far I have two dresses, a t-shirt, a leotard and a tutu. I have 5 more days to go. I'm hoping I can make some pants, pajamas, tights and socks. And a jacket. And a towel and a sleeping bag. We'll see. Her dad is making the hangers to go inside, so it's definitely a family effort.
Here's to a bloggy good year and another one to come!
Happy Blogiversary! So glad to come here for inspiration and eye candy.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Always lots of fun ideas! Thanks for the giveaway and keep on blogging! :)

Awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSince you have little boys, you can appreciate this...
my three year old has sat down to pee on the potty for quite a while. He decided on his own today that he was going to "pee like daddy!"I'm almost positive you can imagine how many different surfaces I had to bleach today.
Okay, not fun, but it's sorta funny!
Yay for Blogiversaries! Happy 1 year to you Courtney. So happy to have met you and to be friends online and in person. :) You always inspire me and I always love checking to see what you've come up with next. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!

ReplyDeleteWow! Great Giveaway! I have been lusting after Zakka Style since seeing it on another Blog I follow. And the bag and fabric are the icing on the cake! Something fun? My niece just started sewing lessons so I sent her a list of blogs, (yes,yours is one!) websites and Etsy shops towhet her creative appetite. I am an email follower.
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway! I follow you by email, and I love seeing you in my inbox!
ReplyDeleteSomething fun - I mostly sew for my 2 1/2 year old grandson, and he has started coming in my sewing room and wrapping prints he likes around his body! Yesterday it was some flannel with construction trucks on it that I bought to make him PJs. I guess he thinks Nana doesn't sew fast enough!
I think I've been following you for about 5 months or so. I saw something about you somewhere else, clicked your link and fell in love with you ... well, your writing and crafting and your love of your family. I love getting a notice in my email that you have blogged again. Your work is lovely and so are you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway. Congrats on the 1 year! I just got home from working night shift so my ability to make a fun comment is at the moment getting ready for bed. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your year! I have really enjoyed reading your blog... Thank you for the chance at your great giveaway. It has been so nice to get to know you through your log and the MQG! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Courtney! Can't wait to see what your next year will bring...always so much fun to read your posts and get to keep up on your family news from a distance!
