Giveaway!!
Posted by Jessie on 11.05.2009.
So I told you how I received my package from Amazon - the one containing my pre-ordered copy of One Yard Wonders. The very next day, the doorbell rang again.
It would appear that in my excitement to receive this crafty wonder in a timely fashion, I pre-ordered it not once, but twice (once in April, once in August). And so, my friends, I am left with an extra copy.
And I would like to give it to you!
To enter for a chance to win, please leave a comment here. Tell me about your favorite something: it could be a color, a song, a poem, a quote... anything that you refer to as your favorite! You must include your email in the body of your comment. For an extra chance to win, either blog or twitter about the giveaway - then just come back here and leave another comment with a link to your blog post or tweet. I will be generous here: I'll let you do both. Finally, for a FOURTH chance to win, follow this blog (link over on the right-hand sidebar)
I'm heading out of town for the release party of said book title, so this 'contest' will remain open until next Thursday, November 12th at 7pm.
Until then, happy tweeting/blogging/following/commenting...
xoxo

My favorite thing... finding something at a thrift store that I've been looking for forever. Wish I had a blog to link to or that I tweeted (but I don't). Would love a copy of this book. If you'd like a copy of "Applique Your Way" I accidentally ordered two! But then again, it may have been your blog that brought it to my attention. :-)
Thanks for being so generous!

my favourite thing to study is the human brain. i am training to be a clinical neuropsychologist, and i am fascinated by the structure and processes of thought and the neural structures that instantiate them.
ad when i need a break from my studies, my favourite thing to do is to sew. this gives me space to mull quietly over the things i have learned, and hypothesise about things i might like to learn or figure out in the future.

My favorite guilty pleasure of late is this thing called "sweet moment'. It's basically a mini-instant chocolate pudding mix where you add a cup of hot water and stir it up in a mug. Then you have warm chocolate pudding. I know processed food isn't the best thing for me, but dang it's nice when you're up late working! =)

The blog makeover looks great! My favorite new quote:
“I must learn to love the fool in me–the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.” ~ Theodore I. Rubin, MD
Thank you for the giveaway!

My current favorite thing is the words to the song, A dream is a wish your heart makes...you know how it goes.
When you're fast asleep.
In dreams you lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing The dream that you wish will come true.
This is the little song I sang to myself to keep my faith alive while we were trying to conceive a girl after three boys. AND she is coming in April!!
My email is crvssv@yahoo.com and I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

5:21 PM
OOOOOwwwwww~ I'd love to win this one. My fave at the moment is time to craft. It's few and far between, especially since I returned to teaching high school this fall.

That's the sort of thing I do!
My favourite quote is by Picasso and is-"If you know exactly what you are going to do, what is the point of doing it?" The emphasis is on the exactly. I have little plans either in my head or on paper but there is always that element of surprise and developing ideas through processes as you go along. It is such a favourite I have it on my desk to refer to and look at every now and again!
