Welcome to Giveaway Day 2009!
Well...the fact that you're here most probably means that you already know all about this wonderful day in crafting blogland...so let's get straight to it, shall we?
This year, I am giving you the chance to win this gorgeous shopping tote!
(one side view)
(the other side)
You've probably seen this sometime ago in a previous post. Anyway, for the benefit of those who haven't seen this or don't remember...this is the Market bag, the pattern of which came from an issue of the Better Homes and Gardens Creative Collection magazine. I don't know why they chose to call the bag such as I personally think it is too pretty to take to the market. This particular Market bag was made using 'Fig & Plum' 5" squares from Moda. It is very nicely sewn up, if I may say so myself. The bag is very roomy, about 17 1/2" by 13 1/2" by 4" in size. Not only will this make a perfect shopping companion, it can also be a great overnight tote!
Well...you interested? Here are the mechanics:
1. If you haven't done so already, SIGN UP to be a Heart of Mary follower. You don't need to have a blog to do so. By being a follower, you will not only be regularly updated on what's going on here, but you will also get the opportunity to connect with others in the blog community, especially with those with the same interests as yours. As for me, I like clicking on those little thumbnail images and learning about you (or your blog, if you have one) as well.
To be a follower, just click on the Follow button located on the side bar where all the tiny pictures of all the current members are.
2. I am willing to ship to anywhere worldwide BUT please be sure that the postal system in your country is reliable. It would be such a pity if the bag doesn't reach you and just gets lost somewhere!
3. Leave your name and email address in the comments section below. Without this information, your entry will be invalid. Don't worry...I will not spam you ever!
4. You will have until the end of the day of the 6th of December to join. The Giveaway Day winner will be determined by Random Number Generator on the 7th and will be posted here shortly after. Winner will also be notified by email.
Simple enough? Good...wait...there's more...
In the navigation bar at the top, you will find a link to my eBook Shop, Simple Things. (Please take note that this is not the same as my Etsy Shop although all the items for sale are the same.) Purchasing any eBook from the 2nd to the 6th of December will entitle you to a second eBook, of equal or lesser value, for FREE! If that sounds good to you, go to the shop right now and browse around. You might just find something you'd like to make and give away this Christmas.
If you do decide to make a purchase, don't forget this most important thing. When you head on to Paypal to make your payment, tell me in the 'Instructions to Merchant' section which second eBook you would like to receive. Your PDFs will be sent to you promptly to the email address associated with your Paypal account, unless you specify otherwise. Limit one freebie only per customer.
Well, that's about it! I hope you all can join in the fun! To go to the master list of all participating blogs and view all the other awesome giveaways, just click on the Season of Giving button below. Good luck!
