Another Day...No Big Deal

It's JUST my birthday.

No big deal!

I was about 6 in this photo...so that's just a few years ago

I don't need any gifts, fanfare, or special treatment.

Wait! What am I saying?

A birthday deserves LOTS of fanfare!

So...

How about a Follower's Giveaway?

All you have to do to enter is:

1. Be a FOLLOWER by one of the gazillion ways to follow me.
2. Leave a short and sweet comment
3. Only one entry per person.
4. The Follower's Giveaway will end on May 12th at 6 p.m. MST (comments left after that time won't count.)
5. Make sure I have your email address or you can't win!

What's the prize you ask? I can't tell you because it's a surprise...

I'm going to the quilt store today to pick out 

something for me (for my birthday) and something for a lucky winner.

It's going to be a great day!

P.S. I have a new email address:

A Charmed Winner Has Been Chosen!

Farm Quilter

CONGRATULATIONS!

An email has been sent to her.

Thanks to all of you who follow me around!

Who's Fault Is It? Not Mine, Of Course!

All I said was that I was having a hard time getting

into making a mug rug, because I'd never made 

one before, yadayadayada....something about mojo.

So, I went shopping at Home Goods after work....

BECAUSE 

Daryl over at Patchouli Moon Studios said 

"make your mug rug match your mug."

THEN

Karen over at KaHolly said, "Maybe you could go mug shopping, 

find a couple of really great ones, then let your creativity flow!!"

See...it's their fault that I went shopping for mugs

and found FOUR...yep FOUR fun mugs to play with.

When I got home this fun little toy had arrived in the mail. 

It's a Light Scoop by Professor Kobre.

My sister saw it over on Tater Tots and Jello and said she was thinking of buying

one...so of course I had to buy one because she was going to buy one. 

(Someone else MAKES me do that, too, and she knows who I'm talking about.)

ANYWAY...

It attaches to your camera to make your pictures better. There are

other mirrors available for different tones, but I'm giving this one a try before

I jump in and spend more money (unless my sister says she's 

going to buy them and then, well, you know.)

This photo was without the attachment 

 This one was with the attachment (there's the back of my mug.)

I'll play with it some more later to see what else it does

and the REAL way I'm suppose to use it.

If you made it through all the jabber above, how about a 

Follower's Giveaway

for TWO of those cute little Moda mini charm squares of Comma by Zen Chic.

They are so dang cute!

All you have to do to enter is:

Be a FOLLOWER by one of the gazillion ways to follow me.

Leave one mini/charming comment.

Only one entry per person.

The Follower's Giveaway will end on April 7th at 6 p.m. PST

(comments left after that time won't count.)

Make sure I have your email address or you can't win!

I'll ship Internationally.

Don't forget this is coming...it has to do with mug rugs!

She Followed (AGAIN) And Won!

Due to my moment of confusion,

the second winner of my Follower's giveaway is:

Daryl of
Patchouli Moon Studio

She wins a charm pack, too!

I loved all your funny comments about my "moment"
and wish I could send all of you something. Thank you for making
my blog a fun place for me to hang out!

I've Lost IT...Really I Have!

I just announced the winner of my Follower's Giveaway. Yay!

Uh....wait! 

BIG WHOOPS HERE!

I wasn't supposed to have it end until 

TOMORROW at 6 p.m.

GEEZ! It has been a little crazy around my house lately,

but I didn't think I was that absent minded.

I guess I am.

Here is what it says in my rules:

"The Follower's Giveaway will end on February 7th at 6 p.m. PST"

See, it distinctly says "February 7th", which

is tomorrow, so I've clearly lost any small bit 

of my senior brain that was left.

(Vickie still wins the charm pack)

Hmmm....to fix this silly mistake you can leave another comment

(if you want to) on my Follower's Giveaway post

HERE.

This time just say something like, "I came back" or "You've lost it for sure!"

or something really short so I know you're

back for the SECOND ROUND of the Follower's Giveaway.

All of those other entries/comments will be thrown back in the pot, too.

I'll think of SOMETHING to send the second winner.

It will FOR SURE, ABSOLUTELY, end tomorrow,

 February 7th, at 6 p.m......hopefully.

She Followed...She Won!

Vickie from

More Stars In Comanche

has won my

Follower's Giveaway.

Congratulations, Vickie!

Follow, Follow The Road To A Giveaway!

Here's the same old story on why I have a Follower's Giveaway:

Way back in March 2008 I started my blog, Just Let Me Quilt, to

have a place to keep track of the few-and-far-between sewing projects I created.

I had some loyal family members and friends who felt sorry for me so they

FOLLOWED ME.

I quickly learned that FOLLOWERS motivated me.

Being a FOLLOWER has never been a requirement to enter my 

usual BLOG HOP GIVEAWAYS.....

....BUT

it is a requirement to be a FOLLOWER if you want to enter my 

FOLLOWER'S GIVEAWAY.

I am so grateful to the few people who want to come back 

to visit me and I know that if they are following me, 

they will know about this extra little giveaway via their 

email, blogger dashboard, or Google Reader. 

This giveaway is my way of saying,

"THANK YOU"

 for coming back.

The Giveaway....

One Charm Pack of

Moda's Towne Square Quilts

All you have to do is:

Be a FOLLOWER (by email counts.)

(make sure you let me know if you follow by email since your

little picture won't show up in my Follower box.)

Leave one very short and sweet comment

Only one entry per person.

The Follower's Giveaway will end on February 7th at 6 p.m. PST

(comments left after that time won't count)

Make sure I have your email address or you can't win!

I'll ship Internationally.

What Was In The Box You Asked?

I had a Follower's Giveaway (my favorite kind of giveaway) a while ago, but didn't say what was going to be in the little box because I wanted it to be a surprise. Well, Karen at KaHolly has received her giveaway prize, so I can show you what was in it.

Just a little of this and that was smushed into that little box

The Following Follower Won!

Congratulations!
Karen at KaHolly

is the winner of my little brown box of goodies.

(An email has been sent to Karen.)

Thanks to all of you who follow me around!

The Box, Etc., Etc., Etc.

This is THE BOX that will hold my

Follower's Giveaway Gift.

It's a small box, 6x6x6, but I promise it will hold

special gifts just for the winner.

I've started to fill it with goodies.

That's a cute pair of tweezers at the bottom of the box.

She won't be lonely for long! 

~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a snippet of a gift that will be mailed out today.

I can't show it all, yet, because then it wouldn't be

a SURPRISE to the receiver. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you signed up for In Your Words? I did!

Madame Samm has a cute little sign to add words to.

I used Picasa to make my signs.

NANCY DREW UPDATE!
