CQ CHRISTMAS GIVE-AWAY



Can you believe it?! Only 11 more days until Christmas! I thought it would be so much fun to play Santa Clause for a day. So.... In honor of Christmas and the spirit of giving, I have come up with my very first Give-Away Contest. I have put together a little bag of Crazy Quilt goodies ... a little bit of this and a little bit of that. From glass beads, charms, gold & copper threads, buttons, polymer clay floral beads, trims, white laces, some extra bling bling and some of my hand dyed laces and silk ribbon to one of my cat food can pincushions. Now I know you are going to ask..."what do I have to do?"


Here's the fun part. My oldest son Erik just turned 38 yesterday (Dec 13th) and since he lives in Maui and I couldn't celebrate with him I thought it would be fun to do something around his birthday. All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog, you need to link my blog to yours and guess what time he was born. Mentioning the Give-Away on your blog would be great too! The winner will be announced on Christmas eve - the person who comes the closest to the time Erik was born, without going over, will be the winner of the goodie bag. Please be sure to check answers left so you do not duplicate another answer as there will only be one winner. If the same answer appears twice, the person who guessed the exact time first will be the winner. Good luck and may the best Crazy lady win.

  45. NickiLeeDecember 16, 2008 at 10:09 AM

    Thank you all for stopping by! Lots of guesses but... so far only one person is slightly close...

    It's hard to believe that Erik is now 38 - where did the years go? If you have young children all I can tell you is - grab hold of them, love them, kiss them, squeeze them close as one minute they are small children and the next, they are all grown up having babies of their own.

  47. Susan December 16, 2008 at 4:51 PM

    I'm going to guess that Erik was one of those very accomodating babies who allowed you a good night's sleep, and a light labor and say . . . 12:48 pm.
