We Are Not Moving - Giveaway

I am so broken hearted over my hubby being sad about this whole move thing because I started it. He works 4-6 days a week in another town and has to drive back and forth daily. We were trying to move that way and found a wonderful home to rent for a great price (less than $400 on what we are paying now). It was beautiful, had a non-shared driveway, two-car garage and an acre. But it wasn't in the Lords plans. We met with the family (I am talking 6 people) Saturday and they were so sweet. However, while the home is for rent they want to sell it, not rent it and we just can't move and in a year move again....we turned it down. So, if anyone has an extra $135K laying around, just send it our way. Just kidding, maybe, well probably, but then again!

This made me decide to have a giveaway for all my wonderful followers, upcoming followers, quilters, crafters, hobbiests, sewers, etc. It will be short and sweet and very uncomplicated. I don't know about you, but more and more giveaways just require me to do to much!

I have never been to the Fabric Depot in Portland, Oregon but I order from there about once a month. I was looking for some fabric the other day, when I ran across these cute and adorable measuring tapes and ordered them for gifts and a giveaway:

First prize will be this cute little panda tape measure. You pull the ear and out comes the tape and there is a button on the back that retracts it.

Second prize is a little piglet tape measure (didn't I tell you these were adorable?) I gave one that was a kitten to a little girl who recently had a birthday and I gave her a sewing box. My youngest granddaughter loves frogs, so I gave her one that was a frog.

Third prize is a simple Darlene Zimmerman pattern called: 'Easy Does It.' I am not one to reuse patterns, but I made 3 quilts from this pattern and now it is time to let someone else enjoy it.

Lastly, I have this cute pink bag with elephants on it that would make a great take-along quilting or crafting bag and if you live in a region like I do where it rains frequently, this one would be at least water proof. Even better for a blanket and picnic things to keep in your car!

As I said, I want to make my first giveaway of 2012 pretty easy, so read the rules, have fun and good luck!

Rules:

1. Starts today, ends 2/11 at noon PST (short and sweet)



2. Leave a comment for 1 entry, let me know you are already a follower and I will give you a second entry. (A comment a day is allowed for 1 extra entry).

6. MOST IMPORTANT...you CANNOT be a no-reply/anonymous blogger. If you do not leave a way for me to contact you, your post will be immediately removed and not even considered. I spend to much time trying to track down bloggers who want to win and leave me no way to reach them!
