Blogiversary Contest 2013

I have been so unbelievably busy since coming home from our vacation! I didn't get to spend a single day at home this last week, and next week is going to be the same. I have finally got my contest goodies together now. So, in celebration of the beginning of my 7th year writing this blog, I am having a giveaway contest.



I have three items in this years contest package. First we have 1 skein of Sweet Georgia  Yarns Tough Love Sock in the Tourmaline colorway.



Next we have an 8oz. jar of genuine Idaho Wild Huckleberry Jam.



Finally, we have a set of 6 beaded stitch markers made by yours truly-me. I made these with Onyx, Dalmatian Jasper, and Swarovski crystals.



The rules:

Contest entries will be accepted from now until 5pm pacific time Saturday, March 16th. To enter, leave a comment in this post telling me why you read my blog. ONE comment per person. No anonymous comments will be accepted. So if you don't have a Blogger screen name, please put your name in the comment.

I will assign a number to each comment in the order they are posted and then use a random number generator to pick the winner.

I'll announce the winner on Sunday, March 17th. That person will then need to email me their mailing address  within 4 days so I can send them their prize. If I don't hear from them, I will draw another winner.

Let the commenting begin!

Live long and prosper. \\//

  7. I just started knitting (again, sort of) and have been enjoying learning lots of stitches and making (a whole mess of) fun scarves for my friends. I found your blog looking to block an acrylic stockinette scarf I did for my friend, and bookmarked right away.
