I really didn't mean to get into all of that, but thanks for giving me your 'ears'!
My precious granddaughter had her first birthday on July 2, 2010! And I want to have a giveaway to celebrate her first birthday! This is what I am offering, a Vera Bradley cosmetic bag, which if you didn't know already, makes a great 'pack and carry bag' for those stitching gadgets! I have stuffed it with silks, fabric, scissors and other sweets for stitchers! Here is a pic of the bag and it's contents:
And another angle:
And a pic of my beautiful, precious and happy granddaughter, Alexandra Catherine, that I affectionately call Allie Bug, on the morning of her birthday:
I have been stitching...not alot, but do have some things to share, and I will do that asap! I miss sharing my stitching with you all!
For the giveaway, please post to this thread, and if you are not already a follower, please follow! Also if you care to post about this giveaway on your personal blog, and that would be great, please leave two comments on this post, so it will be easier for me to 'count'! And do so no later then July 17, 2010! I will post the winner on July 18, 2010! Best of luck, I know you will enjoy the goodies!!
Until next time, I remain forever grateful for your posts!!
Love, Jan

Hard to believe that Allie is a year old. What a cutie!
Would love to be entered in your giveaway!
What an adorable birthday girl! So cute :-)
Please count me in for your amazing giveaway, I'm a follower :-)

Aren't grandchildren wonderful? They seem to grow up so fast.
That is a great giveaway you are having. I just became a follower and would like to join in the fun!
What a fantastic giveaway, Jan! Wow!
I can't believe Allie Bug is a year old already. She is such a cutie!!
Your parents are in my prayers. Big hugs.
So glad to see a post from you, Jan! I'm sorry to hear your parents are having health troubles, and know that even though it's to be expected at their age, it is still a trial - the Refiner's Fire at work. :) Many prayers for you and them!!
Your dear Alexandra is such a cutie! A blessing to you, I'm sure! Happy birthday to her!!
Please do enter me in your giveaway! It looks like quite a bag of goodies!
And, I'll be posting about your giveaway in my next post (typing as soon as I complete my belated comments) for a second chance to win. Thanks!

It's so nice to see you post!!!! Happy birthday to your dear granddaughter, what a cutie pie.
Hope your parents are doing okay.
Please include me in your giveaway. Your pic of your Allie Bug is just adorable. Doesn't she look excited!
Sorry to hear about your parents, but I'm glad your father is doing better. Hope your mom improves. I still have my mom (almost 90) and it's just as you say. You hate to see them have health issues, but it's not that surprising considering their ages. And yes, the blessing is far greater that they're still with us. Hugs.
PS - love the music. :)
First of all, I hope your parents are better and I wish happy birthday to your granddaughter!
