falling down

i don't wanna rake. not because i'm lazy (that's only a small portion of the reason) but because i think our yard is far prettier with all those leaves.

it would probably be best to let juC do it, since i'm too emotionally attached to those leaves.

and the winner is....

LoW!! who should feel lucky that i didn't rig this, since you expressed your disdain in being "told what to do" even though it's MY blog, and it's my right to tell people what to do if they want to win something i make. and if i want you to tell me i'm great, or to list things you are grateful for, well by golly, you should do it with all jolly heart!! it is the thanksgiving season after all!!

maybe my next thanks giving giveaway will be a new attitude. and hopefully jud will enter that one.

thanks giving winner, AND.....

first of all, i would like to thank all of you for looking deep within your hearts and finding the good in me. i know it must have been hard for some of you, i know that some of you had to make things up, and i know there are some people out there who didn't even enter because they just couldn't think of anything.

second, although i appreciate that some people thought of more than 5 things that are great about me (darla), you were still only supposed to enter up to 5 times. and some of you (mom) felt the need to post a comment about your chances decreasing, which was also a no-no. so after creating a very complex spreadsheet and ridding it of the illegal comments, i used random.org to pick a random number.

and wouldn't you know, number 17 is the one and only kathy! who wrote a very nice poem, but only made one comment instead of 5. her chances were slim but she succeded.

kathy, you can expect your scarf within the next 5-10 years. email me what color/s you'd like and the address you will be at in 5 years.

and i have to admit, of all people to win, she was one of the ones i was scared of winning because she'll know it's not right.

NOW...to all of you none winners (and winners). worry not. i'm still showing thanks by doing another giveaway.

this week, you will have a chance to win some aniC original magnets. everyones dream.

to enter:

once again every can enter up to 5 times. 5 IS THE MAX. leave 5 seperate comments telling me the things you are thankful for.

a winner will be picked....sometime next week. good luck!

thanks giving

it's november. which means that thanksgiving is coming up. i like to call thanksgiving the forgotten holiday. halloween ends, and people automatically jump to Christmas. not that Christmas is a bad thing, but thanksgiving is pretty dang important too!

in honor of this month of thanksgiving, i'm going to have a giveaway. i give thanks to my friend megan for teaching me how to crochet, so i'm giving away a crochet masterpiece (and all of the imperfections that come with it).

it's easy(ish) to enter.

here's how:

leave 5 seperate comments. (everyone can enter 5 times, and you can figure out your strategy. bunch 5 together, or space them out)

here's the catch:

in every comment you leave, you have to say something that's great about me.

hey...just because i'm thankful and giving doesn't mean i can't be selfish and make you work for it a little bit.

also, make sure that in the first comment you leave, you also tell me what you'd like me to make. baby blanket, throw, scarf, pot holder, etc.(keep in mind my skills are simple)

examples of all 3 things i've ever made.

my throw that i'm still working on:

baby blankets:

a winner will be chosen using random.org next friday.

good luck.
