Reader Survey with a giveaway!

Hi everyone!! I thought the beginning of the year would be a great time to do my first ever reader survey. There won't be a lot of changes to come from this survey, it's more of a get to know my demographic survey, but I would love it if you would take a couple of minutes to fill it out. 

There's a spot at the bottom to add your name and e-mail address. If you fill out the entire survey and add this information, you will be added to a drawing for a turban style ear warmer headband like below (in your choice of color of course). I'm going to leave the survey up until next week on the 10th and then I'll e-mail the winner!

Thank you so much for reading my blog. Even if you never leave a comment, I'm glad that you take the time to stop by. You all make blogging a lot more fun!

 

Thank you so much for participating in the reader survey! The survey is now closed and the winner will be announced today (January 10, 2012).

I'm hosting a giveaway!

To celebrate finishing 100 days of my 365 project, a granny a day, I'll be giving away some of my favorite yarn and my favorite crochet hook!

So head on over to the Granny A Day Blog to enter!

Oh and since today is the last day of April here's a calendar view of the grannies I made this month:

Blogiversary Drawing - Week 3

Welcome to the third installment of win stuff on my blog! A big thanks to all of you who have entered the first two drawings! I am really enjoying reading your comments and your blogs (if you have linked to one). This week the winner will receive two prizes! A roller skate charm and a pair of owl earrings both made from vintage findings and fun plastic stuff from my stash. These are a couple of my favorite new jewelry pieces and I'm thrilled to share them with one of you!

I think I'll use this drawing to get to know you all a little better. To enter, just leave a comment on this post and in that comment tell me your favorite TV show (or movie if you don't watch tv). One that you could watch the episodes over and over again and still love. Sheldon and I have been on this TV show kick lately. A few of our favorites are Firefly, Wonderfalls, Entourage, Weeds, and True Blood. I just broke down this week and ordered True Blood Season 1 so we could watch it whenever we want.

Anyways... leave a comment! Comments for this post will close on Friday, June 19th at 5pm central. Make sure you comment by then. When commenting, enter your email address so I can contact you if you win. Duplicate entries will be deleted. Winners will be announced on Saturday June 20th.

Awesome shopping day and a winner!!!

I got the urge to go to an estate sale today. So I found the listings, made a loop of places to go in north OKC, called a friend to join me, and jumped in the car. I ended up spending 45 bucks and I'm pretty sure this was the most successful shopping day I've had in quite a while. Here are a few of my favorite purchases but you can see them all by going to flickr (if you click the right arrow you can go through all the stuff I bought).

This metal shelf was 5o cents! it needs a little repair and a fresh coat of paint, but it will be perfect for holding my sprinkle collection.

LOVE these scalloped edges! And those little spice jars to the right? soo cute!

So I dropped my camera while taking these photos, so the lens was out and got all kinds of f'ed up,  so these pictures are pretty bad quality, esp. if you go to the bigger sized pictures.

Ok... are you ready to see who won the orange apron?!

I decided to go the old fashioned route this time, since I had an entry over on facebook (I have these posts fed onto my profile) and there weren't very many of you. Be prepared, these pictures are very very bad.

Congratulations Amanda!!! I'll email you to get your mailing address. Everyone else, enter the drawing on monday to win some jewelry. I guess I get to go camera shopping now.

Blogiversary Drawing - Week 2

This week's drawing is for this orange flowered, recycled bed-sheet apron made by my mom. It is a delightfully simple apron that will surely be a great addition to anyone's kitchen. I bought a bunch of cool flat sheets at the thrift store last year and thought they would make great aprons. My mom made about 20 of these, all different because of the different cuts she made from the bedsheets. The orange ones are my favorite.

To win, just leave a comment on this post. *In your comment, tell me what your favorite go to recipe is, and add a link if it is online. I'm looking forward to some new things to cook! Comments for this post will close on Friday, June 12th at 5pm. Make sure you comment by then. When commenting, enter your email address so I can contact you. Duplicate entries will be deleted.
