For awhile now I've been thinking what I could do to give back to my Blogging friends for being there for me over this past year. You know it's been a year of major ups and downs for me and all your comments kept a much needed smile on my face :o) Just knowing I had such a vast support system helped tremendously.
Oh how I wish I could send each and every one of you a little something but that is not possible at the moment so I've had to resort to Plan B. Unfortunately there can only be one winner BUT I hope I can put back a smile on every face that gave one to me :oD
So...how does a $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE sound???? And what if that gift certificate was for Anita's Little Stitches???? Huh? I bet you're smiling now! LOL!
I love Anita's! If you've never been there, check out her website. It always amazes me each time I go because she carries some fun and unique items not found elsewhere. What about a one pound bag of Christmas buttons? Or 55 count linen? Or maybe check out Anita's own designs. Her strawberry emery patterns are adorable and she has 15 sided Biscornus.
There are just a few teeny weenie rules so PLEASE read carefully :o)
1) In order to cash in on the gift certificate, your order must be $150 or more. Technically you're only paying $50 but you know there's things you've wanted to buy for awhile now ;o) Have you been wanting to buy those scissors you've been drooling over but just couldn't justify it? Now you can! Don't think you can buy enough for yourself? Hey, buy some for a friend too! Anita has been so generous to donate this gift certificate so please follow through.
2) You must be a Pumpkin Stalker and a regular commenter. You know who you are and I do too so don't question whether you qualify or not ;o)
3) There must be a way for me to contact you if you are the winner. Either leave your email with you comment or make sure you have it in your Profile. Chances are I probably already have it.
The giveaway will be open until late December 31, 2012. I will be away from the computer from December 21-27 so if your comment does not appear right away, don't fret! When I'm back online I will push comments through. You might want to double check just to make sure though.
I'm sad to say that we did not send out Christmas cards this year (only the second time since DH and I have been married) but I want to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! May your holidays be filled with the company of loved ones and may your tummy be filled with turkey ;o) Hugs to all from the Pumpkin Patch!
Oh my! What a generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a privelige to share this year with you. I love the monthly pics of Jr. and I always keep you in my thoughts.

That's such a generous offer. You know you didn't need to do that. I'm going to pass since I have more stash than I know what do with and I suspect there are others who could really put these $$ to good use.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holdiday and best wishes for the coming year.
Re: your last post - Yay for you! You really deserve it. You will have such great thoughts stitching it being reminded of all the good people in your life that the finished result will be extra special.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your sweet family a wonderful Christmas,
JEnn

What a generous giveaway; you've more than outdone yourself. I am a follower, and I often pray for you and your family, but I don't comment often - usually I'm sneaking a few "reads" in on my phone at work. (Did I just admit that?!?) I leave it to you if you want to include me. I'm just glad to hear when things are going well for you!
