Wow! I guess when I give out a challenge, people listen. LOL! Since I now have 161 Stalkers (as of today), I'm going to be hosting a giveaway of something that I've stitched :o) The piece I have in mind is one I stitched last year and made into an ornament/pinkeep. It's called Stitch To Win by The Prairie Schooler -
I thought this piece was appropriate since it is a breast cancer pattern coming from a breast cancer survivor! The ornament is sitting on the fabric that I used for the backing. Of course there will be a few goodies put in with it as well ;o)
In order to enter, please leave a comment on THIS post only and include an email address if I cannot locate it in your profile. You do not need to have a Blog in order to enter and I will ship anywhere in the world :o) My in-laws are coming for the weekend so I'm going to leave this giveaway open until Wednesday, August 11. You DO have to be a Pumpkin Stalker to enter but you do NOT have to post this on your Blog if you don't want to.
On Friday I celebrated DH's birthday with our friends, T & K. I did my first 'themed' party and I think it turned out quite well! It was a Picnic Party so the table was covered with a white tablecloth and red/white checked plates and napkins :o) Red balloons and goody bags for the four of us. Yes, goody bags! Do you remember getting those? I included picnicky things like bubbles, glow stick bracelets, Play Doh, bubblegum, tattoos, Fun Dips and more. It was a night for us to be kids again ;o)
For supper the picnic theme continued. I bought cold salads, rolls, chips and beer :o) Right before we were ready to eat, I went into town and got a bucket of KFC. You've got to have fried chicken at a picnic right? LOL! For dessert there was watermelon and...a HAMBURGER CAKE! I wish I had taken a picture of it now. I had first seen it on someone's Blog (I'm sorry I forget whose) and was totally grossed out but when I saw one at the grocery store, I just had to get it. It was REALLY good too! We had a great laugh because K doesn't eat hamburgers but we told her we were able to get her to eat this one ;o)
I want to welcome all my new Stalkers and say 'Hi!' to my regular ones ;o) I LOVE reading your comments because they always make my day. If I ever need a smile, I just have to check my Blog. You guys are the best! Thank you for your support and friendship :o)

That picnic party sounds great. Maybe party planning is a new career idea for you.
The pinkeep is lovely, but I'm taking a pass on the contest this time. Good luck to all the entrants.
Congrats on all your stalkers (of the pumpkin variety...hope you don't have any of the other kind). Please enter me in your giveaway! Sounds like you throw a great party too...though I did gag a little at the thought of a hamburger cake.
Pumpkin - number 161 - is my daughter!
Could you please enter me in your giveawy. I would love to have an ornament stitched by someone else for my tree.
Thanks and Smiles - Denise
What a great theme for the party! The goodie bags sounded fun! never too old for a goodie bag!

Happy birthday to hubby.

What a lovely prize! I think I may have been right about you making it to 200 as fast as you stitch kiddo. Best Wishes to DH and Many Happy Returns. The picnic sounds like a blast and that a good time was had by all. Have a great time with your in-laws.
