One Year Anniversary Give-Away!

Please note: This give-away has been given-away.

The winner was announced on Monday, March 16th.

Two score and twelve weeks ago, my computer and I brought forth, upon this website, a new sewing blog, conceived in Lunacy, and dedicated to the proposition that somebody (somewhere, for some unknown reason) might be interested. ;)

Yup, I can hardly believe it, but it has been one year today! Frankly, I am in awe of those of you who have had a blog up and running for multiple years! My hat is off to all of you! :)

The only reason that I’m still up one year later is because of the warm, friendly and generous comments that many of you have taken the time and trouble to leave for me. Thank you!

I wish I could do something extra special for each one of you. Today, however, I’m going to offer up a very special give-away to one (randomly selected) commenter.

What exactly is this very special give-away? Here is a hint:

Do you recognize this fabric? It is my custom designed Spoonflower fabric, decorated with a graphic image of rock climbing gear, which was recently designed for me by Miss Black Pepper (aka Beth) of Etsy.

That whole adventure was so much fun, and I am so happy and excited with my fabric, that I want to let someone else have the same experience. So, my give-away is for a pair of gift certificates that will “make it so” – with a total value of $100!

The lucky winner will receive a $45 gift certificate to Spoonflower (enough to cover these two orders: a swatch + U.S. shipping, followed by 2 yards of your custom fabric + U.S. shipping) AND a $55 gift certificate towards Miss Black Pepper’s design talents (enough for 2 hours and 45 minutes of her time) to help create your design.

This is especially perfect for those of you (like me) with plenty of ideas, but not much experience drawing or using computer-based drawing programs. I loved working with Beth and know you will too! She asked me to pass along this short message: "I'm excited to be part of this promotion and I am looking forward to helping you bring your dream fabric to life!"

And, of course, the folks at Spoonflower are simply the best! :)

If you would like to be included in this drawing, just leave a comment. The drawing will be open until midnight EST on Sunday, March 15th, and I'll announce the winner on Monday, March 16th. Good luck to everyone! And thank you for making this year so special and so much fun!
