PURPLE....LOVE PURPLE

I really like purple and lavender these days. I use to love everything blue and now as I get older my favorite colors seem to change a lot. I like red too and sometimes green, but lavender is beginning to catch my eye. So being that said......I thought I would show you this treasury that I was in. I thought it was just so pretty with all the purple and white. Hope you enjoy. :)

Have a great weekend!!

LOST AND MISSING?

 

Looking for Mary.........she is the winner of my Americana fat quarter giveaway, but I can't find her. Mary if you are out there I need your address to send you your winnings. Please send me an email with your address. My emails don't seem to be getting to you. I just hate it when this techy stuff doesn't work. :(

 



AND THE WINNER IS......

 

We have a winner on my Americana fat quarters giveaway!! Congratulations goes out to Mary! I will be sending these to her right away. :)

 

Thanks to everyone that entered my giveaway. I do love to do these. Hopefully when the busy summer is over I can do more.

 

 

 

Which reminds me.........I have been meaning to ask all of you.....what kind of giveaways do you usually participate in?  Do you like fabric, supplies, items that are already made? I would be interested to know what you  like. I could do a survey on here and I did read once how to do an "official survey box", but I need time to figure out how to do this....hmmmm....need to put that on my "winter" project list. :)

 

 

Thanks again to everyone who participated in my giveaway. Have a great day!!

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!!!

Holy Moly....where does the time go!! I can't believe it has been a couple of weeks since my last posting!! Time is just going by so fast. Summers are always so busy for us. I went down to the lower 48 for a family reunion and then we went camping for a week and before I knew it July is almost over!!

How has your summer been going? Have you been doing anything fun? I have been busy with our local summer markets. Actually they have been very good this year. Have been doing well with the sales and have been having fun meeting and visiting with all the visitors to our area. The weather has been just fantastic. Normally we are cold and rainy here most of the summer, but this summer has been unbelievable. We are breaking all kinds of heat (well heat for us) records. We normally have about 5 days in the 70's all summer long and so far this summer we have had 15 days! The skies have been blue and pretty. I keep telling my hubby that if all the summers were like this one I could stand living here. :) It has been a joy.

Looking across the inlet to one of our active volcano's

So....since I haven't been around much and since July is a big Americana month I thought it would be time for a give away! So in honor of the month of July, and being patriotic, I am going to giveaway this Americana bundle of fat quarters. I picked them up at our local fabric store while I was there getting MORE FABRIC!! Yippee.....love getting more fabric! There are five of them and they are 100% cotton. They would be great for all of you Americana crafters. :)

The rules are easy peasy.......................:)
