2nd Blogiversary - Flea Market Fancy Giveaway! - WINNER

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to help me celebrate my blogiversary.  I had so much fun reading everyone's comments and discovering what you would do with these strips of fabric goodness if you were the lucky winner, or learning what you have been creating lately.  I'm so amazed that so many creative people are doing so many lovely things.  Creating for  others. Creating for yourself (much less common, but necessary, now and again!).  A dozen projects going at once.  Current trends (several people talked about a granny square quilt and jelly roll race quilts, which seem to be a current trend).  Pillow covers are very popular, I think.  It was great to journey into your creative space with you, if only briefly.

I tried to respond to everyone (although I did not respond to the "follower" comments), but I think I may have deleted a few from my I-phone, so if I missed you, I apologize.  The best part is, I feel like I made some new friends and connected with several of you.  It's wonderful how much we have in common (I laughed at how many of you said you would just pet this fabric for awhile, if you won {grin}).  Thank you all for visiting my little blog and making my blogiversary special.

It seems everyone who stopped by deserves to win, but alas, I only have one FMF fabric roll, and there is no more to be had, so I can only select one winner.

I talked to Mr. Random Integer Generator this morning, and he said...

I guess I haven't done a giveaway in awhile, because I hadn't realized that although I had comment numbering on my blog for a long time, it is now gone.  In searching the web for a solution, apparently you have to go directly into the HTML code and add some code, and I'm just not that good - especially at 6 am.  So after trying to count the comments on the screen, in desperation, I finally printed them out to figure out who number 51 actually is.  I counted and counted, and I believe - I hope - I am right.  Whew!  I'm going to have to find a computer geek knowledgeable computer expert to put comment numbering back on my blog before I do another giveaway.

With that said, THE WINNER IS...

Happy 2nd Blogiversary! I would make a table runner with your generous prize. Thanks for the chance!

Congratulations!  I'm off to email you now.

And thanks again to everyone who entered.  I wish you all could have won.

Wow!

Note:  This is not the giveaway post.  If you are interested in the giveaway, go here.

I just finished answering the comments from my giveaway post. I love it, but I admit to being slightly overwhelmed.  I knew FMF was popular, but I've never had so many bloggy visitors before.  I was determined to answer everyone who commented, but it is something of a daunting task to answer them all.  Whew!  I'm caught up for now.  But of course, it's bedtime.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments.  I've had so much fun reading them.  Everyone is so nice, and there are such wonderful plans and projects being contemplated.  I wish I could do half of them myself.  In fact, I found myself wishing I had more than one FMF fabric roll, but there are no more to be had, so we'll just have to be content with what we have.

Thanks again everyone for visiting. 

2nd Blogiversary - Flea Market Fancy Giveaway! - NOW CLOSED

If you had asked me two years ago if I thought I would ever be a blogger, the answer would have been a resounding "no".  On April 1, two years ago, I started this little blog simply so I could respond to posts on my daughter's blog about my little granddaughter, Abby.  So I am as surprised as any one that I actually have a blog, and that I actually post rather frequently.  I really enjoy sharing my little creations, and the lovely things that people in Flickrland send to me - and the things I send them.

Happy blogiversary to me!  To celebrate, I have a little surprise of my own.  I am giving away a fabric roll of Denyse Schmidt's re-release of her incomparable Flea Market Fancy, provided by Westwood Acres.  The fabric roll consists of a 2-1/2 inch strip of each of the 21 fabrics that make up this oh-so-yummy line of fabric.

How do you enter, you ask?

1.  Leave me a comment, and tell me what you would make with this roll of fabric goodness.  Or, alternatively, tell me about something  you completed recently.
2.  If you are a follower - or become a follower - you will get a second chance.  Just leave another message to tell me so.

That's it.  Easy peasy.  Be sure I have an email address to contact you!  If you are a no-reply blogger, I won't have a way to get in touch with you, and I'll have to choose another winner.

Giveaway closes April 5 at midnight Central time.

Good luck - and thanks for stopping by my little blog.

The giveaway is now closed.
