275 Followers Giveaway!


As promised, here is a photo of the giveaway:


As you can see, it's a "Purple" themed giveaway. Unfortunately, I didn't take a very good photo since you can't really see the scissors! Here's what's included:

3 Purple Flower Pushpins
14ct Purple Hand-dyed Aida (Hand-dyed by me!) - I think it's 12x18, not sure tho
Purple Memo Pad
Purple Tape Measure
Cadbury Milk Chocolate in Purple Wrapper
3 skeins of Purple DMC
1 Pair of Purple Embroidery Scissors
Purple Scissor Fob (I stitched this a while back for the giveaway)
1 Spool of Purple Blending Filament
Package of Needles - Not purple, but who can't use needles?

To get an entry for the drawing, leave a comment on this post only telling me how long you've been reading my blog. Easy as that. I'll draw a name on Sunday, September 18th and announce the winner on my next Marvelous Monday update.

So stay tuned!

Until next time,
at

    Hi Meari, You know, I can't really say how long I have been reading your blog. It has to be several years now. I can't really say that I was a full fledged follower as I would always get the link from your ILCS posts and go to it from there. It is only this year after I started using Google Chrome that I became an actual follower. I would love to be included in your giveaway. Purple is my favorite color and in the picture that fabric is beautiful. And hand dyed by you. I would be honored to win something like that.

    I haven't been reading long, but boy do I enjoy them! Probably only 3-4 months now. :) Hoping I might follow in your footsteps and start doing a blog myself this winter.

    Can't really say exactly how long I've been a fan of your blogs. Even when I got soooooo far behind in reading the posts from ILCS I read everyone of your blogs. Didn't want to miss anything. I will say that I have enjoyed them for at least a couple of years. I look forward to your Marvelous Monday reports. Thanks for sharing a little of your world with us.

    Talk about a tough question! I really have no clue. Long before Charlie, before you started going back to school. It has to be at least 2 years, since you were one of my inspirations to start blogging.
    Please count me in for your fun giveaway~

    Hey girl. I know it's been several years. But I'm not a counted follower probably. I have you link saved on my google reader. I check it everyday to see if anyone has updated. I love reading your blog! So I wonder how many not counted followers you have....You are just so cool haha.

    Hi Meari
    I have been reading your blog since last year not a follower as I do not know how that works.Just made a needlebook using your tutorial can not show yet as it is for an exchange. Would love to receive a giveaway but best thing is to keep writing your posts as I enjoy them.

    Well, that was a nice trip down memory lane. I've been reading your blog for 17 months. I started reading in April, 2010 - you had gotten a new car. I feel like it's been a lot longer, but I think that's because of ILCS.

    I am not sure how long I have been reading your blog - at least a year or maybe longer - time is flying by for me! I love your blog as it is always very interesting and I love all your pictures!!! You are a very talented woman and I enjoy seeing all you do from cross stitching to your DIY projects (they make me jealous -lol - cause I am not a handy person)s

    I normally don't put in for people's giveaways but I couldn't resist all things purple. :)

    I've been reading for your blog for a year or longer. I have no concept of time anymore. I want to say I started reading it before I became a children's librarian. Maybe 2 years but not actively putting comments. Omg... senior moments at my age...lol.

    I enjoy all your posts. I also love how you spell your nickname since it's so close to my nickname...

    Thanks for your posts. I look forward to them every week and worry when I don't see any from you.

    Hugs!

    Don't know exactly how long I have been following your blog. I remember the crazy neighbor and the lawn mowing battles, so maybe that give you a good idea? I may not always comment, and I may not read every monday, but I do backtrack when I miss a week or two. I enjoy reading all your updates, not just the stitchy ones.
