Alert-Alert---My first Blog-give-away :)

A few weeks ago Quilting with Debi posted about her new blog Called "Fall Into Fall Quilters" where she would list a whole collection of quilters who were hosting blog-give-aways on their blogs for October. And also told about her incentive - a MODA gift to one lucky blogger who participated... - so far there are over 30 people giving stuff away between now and October 15th!

Well I knew I wanted to do it - I just didn't know what I had to give... after all I don't' have time to make a cute little something to give away... nor did I know if anyone would even bother leaving a comment to enter... I don't get as much traffic here on my blog as quilters who are in web rings do on theirs...

I know it's shocking to some of you, but just this week I learned how to look up the number of posts I have posted (always wondered how people knew they were coming up on their 100th or what ever...?) and was surprised to learn that I've posted some 160 times already!!! WOW.... so rather than wait for a 200th post... I'm gonna jump in and "Fall into Fall" :)

So what do I have up for grabs you ask??? Well I finally made up my mind on what I could possibly have to give away that someone might want to enter to win for :) Two books and two patterns from my quilting room :)


I'll select TWO winners on October 15th who have left a comment on THIS POST HERE... and just for fun...
....and while I'm in the picture taking mood... let me get one of my new favorite snack! :c) What's yours??? EDITED TO ADD: Please make sure your EMAIL address is in your profile - "No Reply" addresses will not be entered into the basket!
Anyone tried these??? Pringles Baked Wheat Stix I have only tried the pizza flavor - and yummmm are they good! :) ....but there are other flavors too. And you don't have to feel guilty snackin on them... b/c each pack is less than 100 calories too! and there are a lot in each pack! :)
Now... I just gotta figure out how to add this cute scarecrow to my sidebar... then tell Debi to count me in :)
Love from Texas!

  1. I have never heard of those Pringles snacks. I will have to look for them the next time I go to the market.

    My favorite snack is just about anything with chocolate. I think I heard somewhere that chocolate was good for you too.

  23. Favorite snack? I think just snacking is my favorite!!! If I had to choose, this time of year it's a juicy crisp apple wedge with a slice of this wonderful cheese (Super Target has it): Kerrygold Dubliner. A little pricy -- about 6 or 7 dollars for 7 oz, but you shave off just a thin slice. Yum!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
