ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING AND ONE HUNDRED POSTS!!

COMMENTS NOW CLOSED

Well, it's finally here...... my one year blogiversary and my one hundredth post!! I've had a fantastic year. I just love blogland and all that comes with it! There are so many talented people out there and it's so wonderful that they share their knowledge and ideas.

Now, I know you are all waiting to find out what my give-a-way prize is,

so............... TA-DAH!!

Of course!! it had to be a bag!

with a matching tissue holder, tea/coffee wallet and coaster

plus a nifty Envirosax (the original designer reusable bag)

the other side of the bag

See the coffee bags and tea bags?

or you could use it for rewards cards or store cards!

The bag pattern is the Pick-a-pocket purse from allpeoplequilt.com, Designer: Monica Solorio-Snow of Happy Zombie (thehappyzombie.com). Thanks Monica!

The tea wallet pattern came from The Sewing Calendar 2010, September 27,28 & 29. Designed by Christy Hemby - christyscreations.com. Thanks Christy! (the huge button on the front is extremely old, probably an antique)

The tissue holder is made using a great super easy tutorial I found at Melinda Quilts Etc. Thanks Melinda!

The Envirosax shopping bag is so cute, it's ethically made, waterproof, fully washable - won't fade, tested for strength & safety and super strong, will hold 20Kg (44lbs), also carbon offset by planting rainforest trees AND it's fashionable & fun! I purchased this one at my LQS - Thanks Liisa!!

I decided to make the pick-a-pocket bag, as I really love making this pattern and also, I had received so many lovely comments on the bag in my header but I was not able to purchase any more of the same fabrics but I think the fabrics I have chosen are very similar!

Now, how to run this give-a-way........

It's pretty simple, just be a follower who leaves a comment on this post! Really, that's it!!

....and I think I'll use Lynda's method of Random Generator - Yep, the old hand in the bowl method, works every time!!! Go check out Lynda's blog - oh yes indeed..... ANOTHER GIVE-A-WAY!!

....and when will this bundle of goodies be drawn I hear you ask??!!

AUGUST 28th

(which could be August 27th where you live!!!)

so you have one week to enter. Of course you can tell your friends!! Of course you can blog about it and of course you can grab my button, but that won't get you any more entries in the draw... sorry, but I'm trying to keep this simple, O.K. people???

Oh, and one more thing..... you can enter if you live across the street from me or across the Pacific or anywhere else in the world!!!

As I have a week before the give-a-way closes, I could even add a few more items into the parcel!!

So thanks everyone! It will be one exciting week! I will be posting during the week if I have any show and tell, so until then........

Happy Sewing!
