The Give Away on Cookies Treasures, I Won!

 

I won the give away on Cookies Treasures several weeks ago and I was thrilled about it. I hadn't won anything from anyone for a long time so it was exciting. She sent a little kit for a make-up bag, a really cute bracelet and a lovely card. I will try to get the make-up bag made up soon and I know I will enjoy wearing the bracelet, especially to my quilt meetings and it came all the way from Germany..It's very unique as you can see in the picture...so many, many thanks to Kerstin for all the goodies!!!!

My Burning Bush, it's the prettiest that it has every been

 Sew until the next time we meet, I hope you have a Stitches kind of day.......

I Won on Collector With A Needle 1-1-2012

It's been over 3 weeks since Dawn from Collector With A Needle blog spot notified me that I had won a 12 fat quarters from her give away...I do want to apologize to Dawn for not getting this post written sooner but several things have happened in the last 3 weeks.  We've had 2 deaths in the family and it just befuddles your mind sometimes and it is hard to get focused and I think a lot of you will know what I mean. But I'm not going to dwell on that right now as I really, really want to say a big Thank You to Dawn for the fat quarters that I won. They are really bright and cheerful, as you can see above, and colors that I don't usually buy for myself but I just love looking at these and petting them a little.  (Do you ever pet your fabric? It's really nice). I am mostly an appliquer and some of these are perfect as there are lots of different colors on a single FQ.  Some of the FQ's will make very nice mug rugs, little houses, baskets, and I could go on and on for more ideas.  Wow, I really do like them and from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thanks to Dawn for drawing my name and wish I had gotten this post on here sooner...Sew until next time....have a Stitches kind of day..bye for now.

We Remember Veteran's Day

Today, we remember and honor all veteran's who have fought for our country and our freedom. I want to honor my Dad today, he fought in WWII, in the Navy as a SeaBee. I am posting some pictures of him and some you might have already seen in previous posts. In the photo and fabric portrait in his uniform, he was about 28 years old and was taken before he went overseas. The small photo was taken a year or so ago. Dad is in the nursing home right now but working very hard to get his strength back so he can go back to his home. And I know that he will be home before very long.  My husband was in the Army during the Korean War as were many more relatives and friends. Without these veteran's, our country could be a very different place for us to live and enjoy our freedom. So, let us salute the men and women who have served our country, in war and in peace.

This page was made in My Memories Suite software program. You can still register for a chance to win your own copy of the MMS if you go to Monday's post and read how you can do it.

My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software Give Away

I'll bet some of you had already guessed what my give away surprise was going to be, right?  I was really 'takin' back' when a week or so ago, I got an email from Liz at My Memories Suite, asking me if I would be interested in hosting a MMS give away.  Those of you who know me, know that I am not a scrapbooker, although I like photos, making things and trying to be creative. Liz offered to give my a free download so I downloaded it and began to play. Needless, to say, I'm hooked on the digital scrapbook program. It's alot of fun and you sure can waste spend a lot of time playing around with it. As with everything, there is a learning curve but it doesn't take long and you will be making fun stuff. I think it will be very good for bloggers as well as scrapbookers.  Here are a couple of pages I made for a garden scrapbook. I think they are pretty neat!  Here's how you can get a chance to win a free copy of the software for your own use.
