WELCOME TO MY 3RD ANNUAL SURPRISE GIVEAWAY

 
Its time for my 3rd Annual Surprise Giveaway!  I'm a firm believer in the phrase "Third Time's a Charm" so this year ... it will be three  giveaways for an awesome group of friends and followers. 

Be sure to click on each picture for a larger view.

ARE YOU READY?   I AM!   :-)

 
 
This wonderful book is waiting for you!
 
 
White Wool Flower Pillow Kit is waiting for you too!
 

FIRST GIVEAWAY is an awesome book by Maggie Bonanomi titled "WITH THESE HANDS".  

You will receive the book along with a kit for Maggie's pillow project as shown above.  Your kit will contain all wools needed to complete the front of  pillow, cotton fabric for the back side of pillow and three skeins of DMC floss for the applique work.

NEXT.....

 

SECOND GIVEAWAY:  I am in a "Primitive" sewing mood and decided to hand-pick a primitive selection of Valdani Size 12 threads for your wool applique projects.  These spools will give you hours and hours of stitching fun....they really do last forever (almost)  :-)  Anyway, these are some of my favorite colors that I would like to share with you.


NEXT..... 

 

THIRD GIVEAWAY:  I am curious as to whose name will be written on this gift certificate.  This $25 gift certicate is good for any item(s) from my Etsy Shop (PrimFolkArt Shop)
 

GIVEAWAY GUIDELINES:

*Names will be drawn on January 8th, 2013. 

*I will draw from the comments left - this way I know you're interested in participating. 

*Also, if you wish, sign up as a "Follower" so that I have your contact information (email) in case you're the lucky winner. 

*If your name is chosen by the "Random Number Generator," I will email you with the good news.  Be sure to check your "junk" mail in case I land in there. 

*Please know that the first name drawn will receive the first giveway, the second name drawn for the second giveaway, etc.  It keeps it simple and less confusing for all.

H A P P Y   2 0 13! 
 
Be joyful, be inspired, be creative, and most important....be you!
 

Smiles and Blessings - Valerie

Hi Valerie, Thanks so much for 3 sweet giveaways ... So very generous of you and I have been a follower too.
Am sending you wishes for a Blessed, Happy & Prosperous New Year. Ours ended with a BIG BAM ... We got sick with the flu on Christmas Day, one at a time. That meant for several days we were taking turns .... YUK, NO FUN at all. Hope yours was much better. Otherwise, we survived and are now doing GREAT! A fantastic way to start the Year.

Have a Blessed day with Love & Peace, Barb

Darlene said...

Wow, Valerie, what an incredible giveaway! You know I discovered you just before Christmas and am very anxious to 'play' with you in 2013.
