~*A GIVEAWAY!... and more!*~

Hello Dear Friends!  Yes, I'm hosting a GIVEAWAY... well, two of them actually!

Here are the details!

As a small token of my GREAT THANKS TO YOU for following my blog ~ over 1000 of you! ~ I made a little something to give to one of you... 

 I did a little needlepunch... a'top a little box.  (5 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches).  It isn't a BIG prize... but I do have a BIG heart for all of you!  Thank you!!
 The top is adorned with my old Tom (actually inspired by our own Tommy boy purr baby... who is our BIGGEST cat... at about 18 pounds!).  I worked the needlepunch with cotton threads on weaver's cloth... trimmed with wool yarn and linen thread.  The box is a paper mache' box painted black... and decoupaged with old sheet music on the outside. 
The box is empty right now... but the winner shouldn't be surprised to find it filled with a few store~bought tokens of fun.  What will it be?  Oh... I don't know for sure just yet.  But, knowing me, if it doesn't TASTE yummy... it will at least SMELL yummy!

To enter for a chance to win... just leave a comment ON THIS POST ONLY!  I will draw a winner on Sunday evening (May 19th, 2013)... and announce it before I tuck myself in for the night.  Please be sure I can reach you via email or through your blog if you are the winner.

......

Now wait a minute... I said TWO GIVEAWAYS!  Yes, the other one is on my Facebook page.  You will have to visit there to see & enter for it.  I'm sorry... I don't want to leave anyone out... it is just that I want to give two items away for all my followers & Likers.

Please feel free to sign up for BOTH giveaways!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Before I end my post... here are some snaps from out & about our yard.  I LOVE the blessing we have around our yard all year... but in the Springtime I am overjoyed....

 My 'concrete' kids wearing their Springtime hats.  I pick out hats for the changing seasons at the Goodwill store.
 My new ~OLD~ wheelbarrow filled with a few annuals... surrounded by POPPIES!
 These poppies just blow me away year after year!
 Baby Zinnia seedlings emerging from soil.
 My old washtub on the side of the studio/shop... and a simple little sign I scribbled up & slapped with paint.
 Inside the washtub ~ my Fairy Garden.
 Momma & Daddy bird moving into one of our birdhouses.
Our phlox in the front yard garden is bursting with blooms!

Wishing you all warm smiles...

Betty

    Ha! Love that you put hats on your statues. And your fairy garden is adorable. I need to make one for my own garden. :-)

    Please throw my name in the hat as your Tom punch needle looks like my Cinnamon. :-)

    Hi Betty
    Would love to be entered in your giveaway. Your yard is beautiful. I love your old washtub, I had one and someone stole it about 2 weeks ago. I was not happy. I live in a safe area, can't believe it yet. The worst part is they probably took it for scrap metal. So very sad. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your goodies!!

    HUGS

    Betty,
    Wow! The cat resembles my cat who is 21 pounds. He is a Maine Coon Cat. I love all types of music. Please enter me into this giveaway. Thank you. I am a follower.

    What a neat looking yard. I wish I had that much imagination. It looks like a fun and calming place to relax. I like the idea of the changing hats for the season. I adore the idea of the wheelbarrow for flowers/plants. I love the washtub as well. Your yard is beautiful.
