A little giveaway and blogging award :)

Hi folks - Barb over at "Stitching Again" kindly sent me the Fabulous Blog Award. Thanks Barb! It's nice to be noticed. As far as listing 5 of my addictions - well no problem with that!

- My stitching & quilting - definitely dual obsessions!
- Diet Coke - yes I drink way too much of the stuff but can't seem to give it up. I'm not a coffee or tea drinker but I get my sparkling caffeine this way instead. And no, Pepsi just doesn't do it for me.
- My computer/email/the internet - can't live without it and at one point many years ago I remember telling DH that I really don't need my own computer at home. So I blame it all on him, he's probably wishing he never set up one just for me. (not to mention online shopping.....) I feel disconnected when I'm not on a computer daily. We take our laptop on vacation with us - yes it's crazy.
- Amazon.com - Great service, good prices, and they have most everything. I love buying movies from Amazon because I like a lot of old ones you can't find in stores.
- Anything French - I'm a Francophile. I was there twice many years ago and loved it. Anything Parisian or French catches my eye. I love all the history and beauty of the country. Maybe I was a beautiful Marquise in Louis XIV's court in a former life, huh? LOL


I am passing the Fabulous Blog award on to the the following. I read tons of fantastic blogs so I'm grabbing 5. I love all the ones I list on my blog here and others I don't even have listed yet.

Now I have a little giveaway for someone. I have some charts I have duplicates of (yes I do buy things sometimes that I already have....). The charts are "Harvest Time" and "More Friends" from Prairie Schooler, and "Chocolate Box" from Little House Needleworks. They have never been used. There will also be a little surprise sent along that I haven't determined yet. Please leave a comment if you're interested and I will draw a name at random from whomever signs up.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I will pick a winner Monday night and put it up on my blog on Tuesday. Thanks!

  11. You deserve the award for your blog. I enjoy reading it very much.

    Are you familiar with the French designer "A Mon Ami Pierre" (http://www.amonamipierre.net/)? I have several of her designs.

    I'd love to be entered into your drawing. I already have "Harvest Time", but don't have either of the other two lovely charts. It's very kind of you to give them away :^)

  20. I am so excited that you nominated me! Really, I feel honored when anyone reads my blog. What a thrill! I am finally attempting to update my blog today. My Mom is in the hospital and I have been running around in worried mode; but this morning I have to stay at home for awhile before going to the hospital so to take my mind off things I am updating my blog!

    Oh, and I would like to be in your raffle too! Either of the Prairie Schooler patterns would be a total thrill for me!!!

    Thank you!

    love

  24. I hesitate to join this give-away, cause it's the first time I read your blog. But I like the fun of give-aways and the charts, so please count me in.

  26. Thank you for your lovely comments regarding my work. The American Sampler is one of my favourite samplers. It took me a good 12 months to do and unfortunately I don't have it in my house. My Sister now has it and I always enjoy looking at it. It is one of my favourite pieces.
    Sounds as if we both have similar tastes. I love reading classics and I am currently reading the 2nd Dumas book in the 3 Musketeer series. What a good read the 1st one was. In fact I was just enjoying watching "The Man in The Iron Mask" while I did the ironing.
    Yes Cranford was lovely. I know what you mean about feeling sad when it finished.
    France is such a beautiful country. I have been there about 4 times. Would love to go again. Maybe one day.
    Your Beatrix Potter is looking lovely. It is such a beautiful design. I will have to get mine out and do another motif for the SAL.- take care - Sandra.
