Blogoversary Giveaway!

As of today I have been blogging for 3 years, and I'm having a blog giveaway to celebrate. I've met so many nice people, made so many lovely friends, and received so many great gifts, that I think it's high time for me to give something back. This past weekend at the Dallas Quilt Celebration, I hunted for 3 items that would express my gratitude to the blogging community.


Drum roll please.......


Third prize: From Timeless Treasures, "Tonga Treats - Hard Candy"

Second prize: An original Moda Layer Cake, "Happy!"

First prize: The Kaffe Fassett "Paisley Collection" by Westminster Fibers - 30 FQ's

Here's how to play:

• 1 chance - leave a comment on my blog between March 14th and March 21st - max one comment per post.


• 2 chances - become a follower of my blog.


• 3 chances - post a link to this post in your blog, max one link.


• 4 chances - put me in your blog roll.


• That's up to 10 chances to win! Tell me in your comment how many chances you get, NOT in an email; I'm gathering information from the comments only.


• On March 22nd, I'll randomly pick three winners, either with names in a hat, or with a random number generator, if there are lots of entries. The winners will be posted after March 22nd, and will have until April 1st to provide me with a snail mail address. This you can do via email. ;)

Final notes:

For all of you lovely people already following my blog, and/or who have "Susan in Texas" already ensconced in your blog roll, well, that counts the same as if you just put it there! Just remind me in your comment how many chances you get.

No matter how many chances you can get, you can only win one of the prizes.

Overseas bloggers are welcome to play. I don't mind paying shipping costs to Australia, Europe or anywhere else where the package is likely to actually be delivered. I'll make the final decision on that. In fact, I'll make all final decisions. 8)

This giveaway will be null and void if my house burns down, or if a catastrophic computer problem wipes out any of the comments, or if something else horrible happens in the next week. (Just trying to cover all my bases!)

Fall Giveaway at Bitty Bits & Pieces

Kim is having a Fall Giveaway over at Bitty Bits & Pieces that is well worth visiting. She's giving away a beautiful Dresden plate charger that I would dearly love to win! Go take a look and see for yourself. I've had Bitty's as a blog link on my sidebar for nigh on FOREVER, so I'm not sure if I'll get the extra points for adding it; here's hoping I do!

Here's a fantastic tutorial for the charger, as well as several other coordinating items. Check out the fabulous table runner!
