Hello friends...you are going to be so glad you visited me today.
I have a really fabulous Giveaway to offer you, my loyal readers.
It all began when this beautiful lady, Kim of Everything Etsy,
hosted a giveaway on her wonderful blog.
Kim and her husband Tim run three Etsy shops and a very informative and fun blog.
I met Kim a few years back when she spotlighted my Etsy shop header as an example of what a shop header should look like.
Needless to say, as a relatively new shop, I was very grateful for the attention.

| On sale now at Amazon.com! |
Kim is also a published craft book author.
This is one talented lady!
A little while back Kim had a very generous giveaway on her blog.
SkyeReve Fabrics was donating a $50.00 credit to be used in their beautiful internet
fabric shop.
Sweet Natasha, who is a freelance fashion designer, owns SkyeReve Fabrics and it is overflowing with fabulous designer fabrics.
I guarantee it is going to take forever to decide which designs to purchase.

Well my friends...Over 400 readers entered and guess who won?
ME!!!!!!
I was so excited and then I got the best idea...
Why don't I
GIVE IT ALL AWAY!!!!
So I contacted Natasha and Kim and told them my plans. Not surprisingly, they both thought it was a fabulous idea.
I told you they were awesome ladies!
Because of their generosity one of you lucky readers will receive a gift certificate worth $50.00
to spend in Natasha's SkyeReve shop!!
That's a lot of fabric!!!
Raise your hand if you don't like beautiful fabric....I didn't think so ;->
Just look at a few of the colorful patterns.
So many designers to pick from
Joel Dewberry
Amy Butler
Moda
Alexander Henry
etc..etc..
$50.00 worth is enough for some handbags
*
aprons
*
home decor
*
children's clothing
*
curtains
*
quilting
*
plushies
*
Get the idea?
Want to sew up something for the coming holidays?

Maybe a baby quilt?
You know I love me some cabbage roses.

Are you excited yet???

Hello Janet. You're always up to some exciting new thing. You amaze and delight me!
I certainly visited all Kim's shops and enjoyed her charming and happy work. I also subscribed to her very informative and fun blog...Skye Reve is a treasure trove. Glad to know about it. I went right to the section called "bundles" since my favorite holiday crafts projects always involve some quilting...book covers, placemats, pillows, something like that. I was particularly attracted to the Flurry Blue Bundle.
You're so awfully cute to give away your give-away prize!
I visited SkyRev and love the Hoo's in the Forest fabric.
I visited Everything Etsy! I love her page!!!

What a generous offer! I think a quilt from Urban Zoologie 2 would be adorable (probably should finish my first quilt first). I came over here from Everything Etsy and checked out her shops - the hedgehog ponytail holders are awesome! If only I could get my girls to hold still long enough to do their hair...
Just added The Empty Nest to my Google Reader.
I'm a new follower :-)

Storyboek fabrics for sure.
Wow! That is so generous of you too!!! And I have to tell you, the phrase in your title, "Look for the imperfections...for their lies the beauty" was exactly what I needed to read today to share with my daughter. She and I tried a new pattern yesterday that took a long time to make and when we were finished we had both made errors. A bit discouraging due to the time spent, but we had to laugh as it gave our new friends very special character. I shared your header with her just now! :) Oh yea, I'm a new follower here too! Thanks again!
I visited her shops and totally like the Bird Button Ponytail Holders.
I LOVE the Children At Play line of fabric at SkyeReve! Especially the girls prints!
