Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? It's Finally Open! And A Giveaway!!

Hi, all!

It's Friday again, and boy, am I ready to WHOOP IT UP!!  I hope you are too!!

Why am I whooping, you ask?  Well, while we're at the top of the blogpost, let's look at the simplest one....  take a look at the header of the blog.  Nice picture, right?  Notice anything missing from the last time you saw it?  Like a huge telephone pole and three bright yellow guy wires in the background?  That's been bugging me ever since I posted that picture, but until recently, I didn't know how to get them out of there.  Thanks to Photoshop Elements, now I do - and they're gone!!  Just in case you don't remember the previous version, here it is...

It's so much nicer without them, isn't it?  Okay, so that's my little whoop.

And now for the BIG WHOOP - - - my Etsy shop is finally open!!!

You can find me at FabricAddictQuilts.etsy.com, or just click the button at the top right of the blog.  It's not a huge shop, but certainly a start, with... 

...a few quilts...

...design journal covers large and small...

...some pincushions...

...and computer sleeves!

Some fun little things I've enjoyed making and hope to be able to sell!  I'm hoping to add a quilter's apron to the mix - a little design that's been rolling around in my head, but I haven't had time to get made up yet.  I'm looking forward to having an apron to keep the "marks of my trade" - the little bits of thread - from sticking to my clothes!

And now, to celebrate the opening of my shop, I'm going to have a little giveaway!!  You can win your choice of a pincushion like the one pictured above in your choice of colors, or a design journal very similar to the one pictured above, with three graph paper journals to fill it with!  International participants are welcome, too!

How can you join in the fun?  It's simple - join in the fun!  

For one entry, link up your own Friday whoop whoop below.  For newbies, it doesn't have to be a finish - just something you're proud of accomplishing this week!

For a second entry, visit my shop, then come back here and leave a comment telling me your favorite item in the shop, or a suggestion for something you'd like to see there.

For a third entry, pin your favorite item in the shop to Pinterest, then come back here and let me know you did!

For a fourth entry, let me know you're a follower of my blog!

Leave a separate comment for each thing you choose to do (except linking up - your link will be your entry for that option!)

And if you don't like to jump through hoops, and don't want to link up with the whoop whoop party, just leave a comment telling me what types of things you like to buy handmade....

Please be sure that you aren't a "no-reply" blogger!  

If I don't respond to your comment, it's because 

there's no e-mail contact for you - so leave an 

e-mail address in your comment 

if you have any doubt about it!

Simple!  I'll pick a winner next Thursday, March 14th, and announce it on next Friday's Whoop Whoop post!!

This giveaway is also linked up with the Beat The Winter Blues Quilter's Blog Hop Party...

Hop over there and join in the fun!

And now it's your turn!

What are you whooping about this week?

What has you dancing the happy dance?

Inquiring minds want to know - we want to join in the dance!

So link up to the party - it's easy!

The party will remain open until Thursday, March 14th.

Be there or be square!!

Hugs!
