Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I just read that you are looking for a few extra stockings to fill, with the help of the nice people at the Fat Quarter Shop. So I took a little look around and found a lot of things to put on my wishlist.

I really like the look of this fabric- Blush, by basicgrey and since it's be my turn in a virtual quilting bee soon, that would be a great gift to find under my tree.

I think I could also enjoy making something for a wee one out of this fairy fabric by Michael Miller as well.

And last, I've never had the chance to make anything out of a charm pack before, and this sweet pink and red Valentines fabric is awfully cute.

So there ya go Santa! I've been REALLY GOOD this year!

Love,

Lisa

Ok crafters, here's a heads up!

There's an online class about marketing your shop over at Katydiddy's, just in time for the holiday season. There are several parts to the class including blogging tips, markets, and facebook tips. I really want to take it, but don't have the $49 to sign up. Lucky for me, you can WIN a spot by blogging about it. So, I'm blogging to win it, but if you wanna take it WITH me, feel free to go here to sign up!

(Oh, ok, if you wanna win it you can check this link. )

And the winner is...

I entered all of your names randomly on a spreadsheet and ended up with 20 different bloggers and 48 separate entries. I had my spouse choose a number between 1-48 and he chose #41.

The winner of the bag is: Literary Feline! Congratulations! I will email you for your address and some information about the bag itself!

Wanna win this bag?

Need a new bag? (Everybody needs a new bag!)

This is round two of the bag that I currently carry. I am hoping to make more of them and put them up for sale in my (currently empty) Etsy shop.

It's approximately 13 inches wide, 11 inches tall and 3-4 inches deep. There are two open exterior pockets and two interior pockets. It has a magnetic snap closure. The exterior is a heavy weight dark gray-green fabric (yes, looks gray in the photos. It is greenish.) The interior is a made from a sheet and is white with pale pink stripes and roses.

I regularly carry two checkbooks, a small wallet, a 5x7 notebook, a book (often a hardback or trade paperback) and a stack of bills. There is still plenty of room in it.

How can you win it?

1) Agree to carry it for a week (or longer) and give me feedback on what you would change.
2) Leave a comment on this post for one entry.
3) Post about this giveaway on your blog for 3 more.
4) Add this blog to your blog reader for 3 more. (You're on the honor system for this one, I don't know how to check on that!)
5) Include a valid email address if it is not in your profile so I can contact you.
