Fall Y'all Give Away!!












Welcome to my meadow...
This is my very first giveaway and I am so excited!!! I first heard about this from a cute little blog called Rocks in my dryer. There is a catalog of all the blogs participating here.

You are supposed to give away something that is unique to you and so I have chosen to give some handspun alpaca and some handspun merino and a book called Slip-Stitch knitting by Roxana Bartlett.

Here's how to enter:

1. Leave a comment below.

2. In your comment, just tell me why you're interested in that particular prize.

3. Please make sure to leave your correct email address and your blog address (if you have one, if not just make sure I have your email address so I can contact you if you win).

4. You must be willing to send me your snail mail address, if you are a winner.

5. Winners will be notified by email on Monday, November 5th after 5pm PT. Please get back to me with your snail mail address by Wednesday, November 7th or I will have to draw an alternate winner.

6. I am happy to ship to US and Canada.

The best of luck to all! :)

Marmee,

I just want to let you know that Simon sent me a message. He is lonely! He said he wants another four legged critter to stand around with. He doesn't care what kind or what gender. He just wants someone to talk to and to listen to him.

What can you do for Simon?

SB

PS He said his new friend's name will be Morgan.
