AUGUST WEEKLY GIVEAWAY AND END OF MONTH MYSTERY GIVEAWAY

Hi Everyone!


Welcome to my Weekly Giveway for the month of August...... AND ....... End of Month Mystery Giveaway Event.  I've been busy unpacking and settling into my new studio room and now its time celebrate and have fun.  Its been a long hot summer for all and I would like to do something to perk us all up. 

During the month of August, I will be hosting weekly giveaways.  Here is the schedule... 

Aug 1 - 8
Aug 8 - 15
Aug 15 - 22
Aug 22 - 29


Notice something different about these boxes?  Take a closer look as I've placed a "bulging" stash of wool on top of the box set for this weeks giveaway.  This wool bundle is a clever thought by Mary Flanagan.  She has come up with the idea of combining new, recycled, hand dyed and novelty wools, 50 pieces to be exact, into a tidy little package.  The pieces measure 3.5 x 3.5 inches square.


A few more views of this week's giveway (Aug 1 - 8)  Hurry, hurry!

In order to participate in the weekly giveaways, please sign up as a follower so that I can contact you if your name is drawn.  I will use a number generator each week to draw a name from the comments left for that week

See this Crazy Stitched Mache Hat Box?   Each week during the month of August, I will place one item in the box.  It could be wool, it could be a pattern, it could be all kinds of fun notions, etc. 

The one thing that won't be going on with the giant box is peeking!  LOL.  You know I turn into the world's biggest stinker when it comes to surprises.  No hints, just mystery and Valerie laughing!  :-)

For a mysteriously good time, sign up as a follower so that I can contact you if your name is drawn.  I will use the number generator on all the comments left during the month of August for this giveaway.  Good luck!

Please Note:  I should mention that the boxes pictured in this blog posting are not a part of the giveway, I need them for storage in my studio!   

Smiles - Valerie

Your quote ""I cannot count my day complete till needle thread and fabric meet."
is so very true for me too.
Since I found wool about 10 years ago, I hardly do any other kind of handwork. I love it!
