A new finish and a new blogoversary winner

First off, I have heard nothing from the original December winner so I've chosen a new one - Barb aka Crazybeads. I will be in touch shortly, or you can email me Barb.

Next up, I have another finish. I started this back in September for the "Christmas Joy" exchange I joined. It soon became apparent that I would run out of thread to finish it, so I ordered more from the USA in late October. It was shipped on November 7th but it took it's sweet time arriving so I gave it up and fished out an old finish to turn into an ornament so I could mail it in time. The thread FINALLY arrived on January 7th - 2 months after it was mailed. I had originally planned to stitch the word "joy" in the tree with silver thread to suit the theme, but it seems pointless now.

• Name of the design is Boule De Noel
• Chart is a freebie from this blog
• Fabric is a variegated green evenweave with yellow tinges
• Thread is silver metallic thread that came free with a magazine plus "Aquamarine" silk thread from Carrie's Creations
• Stitch count is 102 x 112
• Started in September 2013
• Completed in January 2014

Desperately seeking Kay!

I have not heard from Kay so I'm sending out one more shout-out. This is the Kay I'm after. If this is you, can you please email me?

November blogoversary winner

is........Lisa V! I have emailed you Lisa, and will do my best to get a package out ASAP. One more winner to go before the year long contest is over. Stay tuned, and don't forget to comment in Decxember to have a chance.

Blogoversary prizes - year long and September

Here' what I *think* sent Carissa, the year long winner:

2 x fabric, assorted charts, "family" stamp, backing fabric, mini kit & mini frame

Here's what I sent *K*, the September winner:

fabric, 2 Carrie's threads, 2 heart patches, a magnet & gingerbread house pattern

I must learn to keep better records and be more efficient. I seem to have perhaps lost a prize pic along the way, Carissa's July one. Oh well, it may show up later.

Whew - That was easy!

Terri P - You were first to comment so you are the new July winner, AND you even left an email address, bonus!! If only every month were this easy! LOL. Terri, I will be in touch shortly.

October blogoversary winner - and a July redraw.

OK, I have given up on Meggie and Tabby so it has to be a case of 3rd time's the charm right? I have decided to give the July prize to the first person who adds a comment to this post, but please leave an email address or something so I can contact you.
As for the October winner, it is Rita. I will attempt to contact you through your blog Rita, but feel free to email me if you want. Fingers crossed it isn't so difficult this time :-)

Sigh - Tabby, where are you?

Once again I can't seem to contact Tabby, and she isn't contacting me. Do you know her, or how to contact her? If so, please get in touch and let her know I want to send her stuff. Thank God I only have a few months left, this giving stuff away is hard work! LOL

Blogoversary prize pics - year long and August

I still haven't sent the July prize as I couldn't contact the winner and have just redrawn a new name - Tabby. Therefore I've skipped ahead to show you what I sent Carissa, the year long winner, and Noni, the August winner. Here's Carissa's prize:

Stitcher's World mag, 2 x Six Strand Sweets cotton thread, 2 x mini frames, sage green hand towel

Here's Noni's prize:

Quick & Easy mag, greeting card, 2 x Six Strand Sweets cotton thread, patterned fabric , thread sorter

I still can't find Meggie - so we have a new winner for July

And the new winner appears to be uncontactable from my end :-(. I can only hope she reads this and contacts me or we will be back to the drawing board. The new winner is Tabby - please email me your mailing address and maybe some likes/dislikes. Thanks!

September blogoversary winner

is...... *_* or "K". One very mysterious blogger! LOL. Can you please email me with your mailing details? Thanks

Meggie - where are you?

I have still not been able to get back in touch with Meggie and I'm running out of ideas. I may be mistaken but I could have sworn she did contact me with her mailing details as I recall she was in the UK. For the life of me I can not find that email - it must have been deleted from my trash as it just can't be found. I will try all the avenues I have already tried again but if she doesn't get in contact soon I will have to redraw another winner.

I am still alive! August blogoversary winner too!

I have been so slack busy I've had to drop some things. One of those things seems to be the ball, especially on sending out my blogoversary prizes. I am about to head off to the post office to mail the July, yes July, prizes to Carissa & Meggie. Carissa, I will also include your August prize as postage will probably be cheaper if I make it one parcel.

UPDATE - MEGGIE I SEEM TO HAVE LOST YOUR ADDRESS. CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME AGAIN? THANKS

The August winner is Stitching Noni - congrats. I will try and contact you to get your mailing details and some likes/dislikes.

Meggie, where are you?

Boy, it's hard to give stuff away! Meggie, can you please contact me at jakt70 at gmail dot com within the next few days or I will have to pick another winner. Thanks :-)

July Blogoversary winner

is a new follower.... Meggie. Congrats, I will be in touch shortly. I am going away shortly so will hopefully be able to get to the post office before I leave but I'm not making any promises!

Blogoversary prize pics - year long and June

These have arrived safely, so I can share what I sent Carissa & Kay:
Kay's prize

2 x purple evenweave, a floral borders leaflet, a mini tuck pillow & assorted  charts from  a "pattern-a-day" calendar

Blogoversary prize pics - year long & May

Both of these arrived safely so I can now share the pics here. Here's what I sent "Beauty Bonnet", the May winner:

Here's what I sent Carissa, the year long winner:

A floral/butterfly leaflet, a teddy bear kit, some random evenweave and 2  Carrie's cotton thread

June blogoversary contest winner is.......

is Kay Eyles - congrats! You were one of two new people who commented and hadn't already won prizes so you had a 50% chance of winning! LOL. My contest is only half way through and I'm struggling to give stuff away :-(. Anyway, I will email you in a minute Kay. I'd also like to post pics of the prizes I sent last month but I'm still waiting to hear if one arrived safely before I do.

Blogoversary prize pics - year long and April, and announcing the May winner!

Both Carissa and Vicky have received their packages so I can reveal what I sent them. Here's what Carissa, the year long winner, received. I think it was Carissa' prize, I can't remember if this was hers or Vicky's. :-(

A cat themed chart, 2 red aida hearts, red perforated paper and 2 skeins of Carrie's Creations variegated thread.

Here's what I think I sent Vicky, the April winner :-)

Some random purple fabric, red perforated paper, a tri-fold card and 2 skeins of variegated thread

Oh dear :-(. My contest is dying a slow and painful death. I only had 2 eligible people leave comments in May. I may have to resort to picking a winner who has already won in a prior month at this rate, so keep on commenting. Anyway, this month;s winner is......... Beauty Bonnet! I will attempt to contact you, hopefully it will be easy! Or you can contact me at jakt70 at gmail dot com.

Blogoversary prize pics - year long and March

I've gotten word that both these prizes were received so I can post pics. Here's what Carissa the year long winner received:

An ocean themed leaflet, plastic canvas, random fabric and a couple of random threads.

Here's what Sharine, the March prize winner received:

My finished pansy tuck plus the original bits from the kit in case Sharine wants to stitch the  design for the tuck, some purple thread, random fabric and an old Quick & Easy magazine from the UK.

I'm still here!

Just. After touching down from our trip to Thailand I spent the next few -I'd like to say days, but in all honesty it was more like weeks -  playing catch up in regards to everything I had to do, and before I knew it I was off to Sydney for a loooooong karate weekend - 6 flights in 3 weeks is massive for me. Usually it would take a year or two to rack up that many flights.
Anyway, I just wanted Carissa and Sharine to know I haven't forgotten about your prizes for March. I will get on top of them and email you when they go out. Keep posting comments for your chance to win in April.
