If, for some reason, you'd rather not receive it, NO HARD FEELINGS, just let me know and I'll go to the next pick.
Now, with that Giveaway over, I have to move on to the next Giveaway! Yes! I'm going to keep giving stuff away until my hubby can get safely into my craft room without worrying about tripping over something and hurting himself!...Whether you like it or not!! LOL But I hope that you like it, because 'there really is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving'!! {Acts 20:35} I'm feeling the happiness! :-)
I decided to give away yet another afghan. And yet again, it's one of my Remnant blankets.
Anyway, the Giveaway drawing for this afghan/blanket will be on March 1, 2011. So, keep making your wonderfully supportive comments...and I'll keep putting them in the box! :-) And, please, if you're not a follower of this blog, hit the FOLLOW button so you can be eligible for the Giveaway...Moving On!!
In other news,...which some of you already know because I was so excited I couldn't keep my big mouth closed! LOL...I sold one of my flower brooches yesterday in my Wuglyees shop!!
And I got some more really good news too! From January 13th, through February 8th, readers of the About.com nominated their favorite Handmade Artisans and so forth. And guess what?!...My Wuglyees crochet shop was nominated in their 2011 About.com Reader's Choice DIY Fashion Awards!!
Voting closes on March 8th for the 10 categories. I'm in the 5th category down: Favorite Handmade Artisan: Crochet Designs...at the top of the list. :-) And even though I don't have any delusions that I'll win...{Crochet Dude is already blowing me out of the water!!! LOL}..."It really is a honor just to be nominated"!!!....***I'm not turning down votes for me though people!!!*** Vote HERE!! :-)
I'd like to give a hearty THANK YOU to my Twitter buddy of the Etsy shop grimmandgrete. She was the one who stumbled across the DIY fashion Award and let me know that I was a finalist!! I had no idea anyone had even nominated me!!
It's so fun having something else to focus my attention on...besides SNOW!! And along those lines, just something frivolous, I saw this photo on Facebook and I just had to share! LOL Credit to Our Knickknacks for sharing it with us! :-)
Frivolous
Dancing to no music;
Writing in the dust;
Smiling at your plants;
Frivolous!
Staring in the mirror
at your brand new dress;
Wondering if its "You".
Frivolous!
Going nowhere,
but waiting by the bus,
watching cars go by.
Frivolous!
Not conscious of the time;
It goes by without a fuss,
while you just watch t.v.
Frivolous!
Well, I think a huge congrats is in order all around!! That is just great news with the about.com nomination (I just voted!!). You are on a roll, girl!!! Keep it going... And please enter me for the next giveaway! I have to be lucky some day, right?!? Love, Silke

ReplyDeleteCongrats Julie! What a great prize to keep you warm and looking nice at the same time! You are to funny Deborah! What a way to make room!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Julie. Deb the new afghan is so pretty. It will be fun to see who wins that one. Thank you for the input on a photo program. Love the poem and that last picture is so funny. I think we all feel the same about snow this year.
ReplyDelete'frivolous' made me breathe deep and sigh....thank you
ReplyDeletekelly, Thanks for the comment...And if you knew how many blankets and scarves I had in this room you wouldn't think it was a bad idea to give some away! ^_^ My husband thinks it's a GREAT idea!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSnowflakeDreams1, Thanks for the nice words about the poem and about the afghan! I have to say, it's making me very happy that my "babies" are going to such nice homes, and being loved as much as I love them. :-) ...And we need some warmth after this winter's snow fiascoes!
ReplyDeleteSOiNTOiT, Ahhhhh! How nice. :-) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing, very well done you...and much deserved too. I love your blankets and your flower. Yay...have a nice day :) x

ReplyDeleteChar, Thank you so much!! And yes! it sure is a boost of confidence!! :-]
ReplyDeleteI like the new afghan, very christmasy! And congrats on the nomination! xxx
ReplyDeleteAlittlesprite, I'm glad you like it! And if you saw it up close you wouldn't think it looked Christmasy at all. It's got yellow and soft rainbow colors in one section, and every other color everywhere else!! LOL ...And thanks for the congrats on the nomination too! :-)
ReplyDeleteA little late today.....but here goes: Congrats! I voted and tried to vote again. Don't know if it worked, but I would vote for you 100 times if I could! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the brooch sale! Finally people are figuring out how awesome they are on their clothing! I LOVE mine!
Congrats to Julie too! I hope Silke wins next time!! :)
My hand is raised too. Cute photo(last)
ReplyDeleteCinLynn, Awwwww! You're so sweet!!! Thank you anyway. I'm not sure if you can do that though. I suppose I should first find out what I'm trying to win!! ^_^ I'm so slow!!...By the way, you inspired someone today! I'll tell you about it in the morning blog post! :-) Something nice to sleep on!
ReplyDeletePriscila, It's a wonder you can even see the snow with all of our hands raised!!! LOL ...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust voted for you on About.com! Whoot! Whoot! Seriously you need to devote a mini-post to this. You have so many loyal readers who would gladly vote for you but might just need a lil nudge :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Lindsey
Lindsey, Awwww! Thank you so much!!! Truthfully though, I don't think there's any real chance of me winning anyway! I've seen the Crochet Dude's work. He's so good!!! Pretty crochet items. And he has a public following too!...I'm good with it. I'll just stay in my lane and let the cards fall where they may. The smile I've already gotten from it is almost like a win!!! :-)
