back with a giveaway!

{Giveaway now closed, thanks to all who entered!}

I’m baaaack!  Hope you didn’t miss me too much, hahaa.  But really, thanks so much for all your kind comments, I appreciated all of them a ton.  I had a really nice break and am really glad to be back.  It actually made me realize it wasn’t that much less work not to blog, so I guess blogging itself really doesn’t take up that much of my time (it’s all that other stuff, ha, like actually sewing, taking pics, etc). 

We had fun playing in leaves,

taking pictures (my new profile pic taken by Natalie),

and enjoying time together.

So as a thank you for hanging out with me…
Here we go:
1st prize:

this lovely runaround bag complete with magnetic snap, zippered interior pocket, and slip pocket
2nd prize:

a runaround bag PATTERN
3rd prize:

a USPS flat rate box filled to the brim with my scraps

It was so fun to page through this book. I’m a huge fan of quotes and love other people’s advice (even if I take it or leave it).
It’s full of sweet:
and funny:
(oh mom, I laughed so hard when I read the shopping cart one) not because I’m an offender, but because I’m always the shopping cart returner, even the ones waaaayyy out in the corner of the parking lot.
and useful:
and memorable pieces of advice:
What a fun gift this would be to pass along to any soon-to-be parent or parent.
Now for the fun part, wanna win a copy for yourself? I’m excited to be giving away a copy!
