It's my party........

Hi, all!      

You may remember that earlier this week I made reference to hobbits in my blog post here - - - I think most of you missed it, although one person said that she couldn’t imagine what hobbits had to do with anything...   so........

“When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.....  Bilbo Baggins called it a party, but it was really a variety of entertainments rolled into one.  Practically everybody living near was invited.  A very few were overlooked by accident, but as they turned up all the same, that did not matter.....  Bilbo met the guests (and additions) at the new white gate in person.  He gave away presents to all and sundry...  Hobbits give presents to other people on their own birthdays.  Not very expensive ones as a rule... but it was not a bad system.  ...Every hobbit in those parts had a fair chance of at least one present at least once a week. But they never got tired of them.”

Guess what?  It’s my birthday this Friday - - - and although it’s not my eleventy-first, and I’m not a hobbit, I think it’s still a great idea to give away gifts on your birthday!  Unfortunately, I can’t give one to each and every one of you, but I do have two “gifts” I think you might enjoy....

For one winner, a charm pack of Bliss....

And for another winner, a charm pack of
12 Days of Christmas!

I also noticed today that I am at 176 followers - so if I go over 200 followers this week, I'll throw in another little bit of Moda sweetness to celebrate, and pick a third winner!

So how do you show up for my party, you ask?  Simply make a comment on any or all of my blog posts between now and Friday morning at 6:00 AM CST.   If you want some additional chances, you can do any or all of the following and make a comment (on one blogpost only!) for each one you do.

Become a follower, or let me know you already are a follower!

Blog about this giveaway on your blog.  Link it to this blogpost, please!

If you've made a fabric donation to our quilt ministry, 

remind me and you'll get another entry!

So let's say I post on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  You can have four entries if you make comments on each of those posts, plus you can make one comment for being or becoming a follower, one comment showing you blogged about the giveaway, and one comment if you’ve made a fabric donation to our quilt ministry.  You could potentially have seven entries if you do everything!

Friday morning, I’ll total up all the comments for all the blogposts, Sunday through Thursday, and use little Miss Random to pick two (or three!) winners.  Please be sure that I can reach you by e-mail - I’d hate for you to miss out on a prize because you were set to no-reply!  If you don’t know how to fix it, just type out your e-mail address in your comment (e.g. salliesue {at} clearwire {dot} net) so I can contact you!

I hope you come celebrate with me!!!

Later!
