Today is giveaway day!!! 

 The very wonderful and amazingly generous Cori of Crazy Quilt Girl's online fabric shop 

donated these 2 adorable charm packs, both by Aneela Hoey, for my giveaway.    

There is A Walk in the Woods and Little Apples. 

 Both great lines. 

If you need anything additional to go with them when you win them,

 please stop over to Cori's shop and place an order.  Her customer service is the BEST!  She is also participating in the blog hop and has a layer cake and pattern for her giveaway over on her blog.

This giveaway is a part of the Quilter's Blog Hop party over here. 

 So be sure to stop over to the Quilter's blog Hop page

on Saturday for a list with links to all the giveaways going on.

Now for the fine print, you knew there would be conditions right?

 First, I need to tell you I will ship internationally, 

so if you don't live in the US you can still play along.

I will draw a winner using the Random number generator on March 23rd.

 I will notify the winner via email so if you are a "no reply" blogger 

and don't answer my email I will have to draw another winner.

 So if you are unsure, put your email in your comment.

Here's what I want you to do for a chance to win the charm packs:

Leave me one comment telling me what you would like to see more of here on this blog.

Dicken's Festival Holly Michigan

Yesterday DH and I went to the Dicken's Festival in Holly MI.  We try to go every year.  They have some amazing antique shops and we like to spend the day together.  First though I need to tell you that I finished the embroidered towels.  So if you have not done so then go to the post before this one and enter for a chance to win them.

Here is a peek down the main street

We saw this Dicken's character making these amazing bubbles

Look at who else we found

There was even some ice sculpting

We found some cool antiques too. a GIGANTIC Fostoria punch bowl

A beautiful peacock figure and tapastry

Then I found my usual creepy elves.

And the best two things I found are the Holy water font and the musical angel

So all in all it was a great day spent with DH, getting a few gifts and having a great time! Today I have to finish cleaning and I am *hoping* to get some Christmas stuff put out. I need to order a few more gifts online too. If this isn't enough, my car is making a bad noise and DH thinks we may need to get a new car! I have no idea why, since this one only has 200,000 miles on it! I hope it is something easily fixed with not a lot of money. Anyway, have a great Sunday and don't forget to visit the giveaway post and leave a comment to be entered to win.

EDITED TO SHOW THE FINISHED TOWELS!



I know I am a little behind in the post of what you need to do to win but first I want to show you what you will be winning.
Two embroidered tea towels.
Hand embroidered by me!
I finally traced them today and will work on them so they are finished by the end of the hop.

Here they are traced and ready to work on

I haven't decided on floss or perle cotton so you will be surprised!

Now on to the fine print.

I would like you to tell me your favorite Christmas cookie.

I would love it if you want to be a follower too.

You MUST comment on this post, although I will consider everyone that has already posted on the post from yesterday too, since I don't want to exclude anyone.

I will ship internationally!!

If you happen to have the recipe for your favorite cookie I would be happy to have that too!!

You can email it to me at mamaspark@gmail.com or link to it in your comment.

Don't forget to click on my Blog Hop Party button too so you can visit everyone that's participating and enter all the wonderful giveaways!

Blog Hop Party

OK, I drank the kool-aid.  I joined in the Quilter's Blog Hop Party.  

What is this you say? 

If you go here you will find out.  C'mon join in on the fun!!

You have to have a quilt related blog and be willing to give something away.  

I have a quilt related blog.

But what to give away?

I think my give away will be 2 embroidered tea towels!  

I have not done them yet (of course not why give away something that's already made?)

So I am unable to show you just now what they will look like.  

Suffice it to say I will post as I am working on them, how's that?

The giveaway officially begins tomorrow so I will take a photo of the tea towels and we will discuss the details of what you will need to do to win them!  

Sound good?

See you back here tomorrow!
