Winner of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway is . . .

Thank you to everyone who visited my blog for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway.   WOW!   I had 285 people left comments to win the Moda Layer Cake "Fig & Plum". The majority of  the "next" projects to make were baby quilts, followed by making  bags.

Now, just for some info, because it bothers me, of the 285 entries there were 22 entries that were "No-Reply" Bloggers and two of the confirming emails bounced back to me as bad email addresses.   :-{     I replied to everyone who entered, so if you did not get a message from me then you are a "No-Reply" Blogger and probably don't know it.   Please take just a little time to fix your blogger status - I'd be happy to help you if I can, or include your email address in your comment.

The Winner of St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop Party is . . .

St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop Party

Thank you to everyone who visited my blog for the St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop Party.  WOW!  I had 212 people left comments to win the Moda Layer Cake  "Collection for the Cause - Faith".  Almost everyone said they had more than one project that they were working on at the same time.  I know that I always have more than one thing in the works.

Now for the sad part, of the 212 entries there were 16 entries that were No-Reply Bloggers and the first number generated was a No-Reply Blogger.  I could not send you a message.  I'm sorry you didn't win and I generated another number.  I replied to everyone who entered, so if you did not get a message from me then you are a No-Reply Blogger and probably don't know it.  Of the 16 entries that were No-Reply Bloggers I was able to figure out who 3 of you were because you had a blog and I was able to leave you a message there.

Leap Day Giveaway ~ A Blog Hop

Oh Boy!!!   There is going to be another Blog Hop Party next Wednesday - Leap Day.  It was fun to be one of the participating blogs last time in a Blog Hop Party, so I thought I would like to play again.  You'll have to come back to find out what I'm giving away next Wednesday - Leap Day - February 29th.  The prize is a goodie.  I love using them and I hope you will too.  No, I'm not telling you what it is yet.

Elizabeth at Such a Sew and Sew thought this would be a fun way to celebrate her 700th blog post.   BTW congratulations Elizabeth.  And since the February 29th is a special day that comes around only once every four years, what a great idea to host a Leap Day Blog Party.

Elizabeth's Rules are

Here's how it works:

1.  Choose something to give away on Leap Day.  Keep it simple.  You can make something, give away a bit of your stash, offer a service, buy your favorite gadget to give away or offer something completely non-crafty.  Your blog, you choose.

2.  To participate in the blog hop, your giveaway must start and end on Leap Day (February 29, 2012).  You can open it at 10:00 am and close it at 10:00 pm, or go midnight to midnight, or anything in between.  Your blog, your rules.

3.  Post your giveaway and then link up at Such a Sew and Sew.  Please include the Leap Day Giveaway button (code found on the Leap Day Giveaway post) somewhere in your post.  The linky will open at noon MST on February 28th and close at 10:00 am MST on March 1st, to allow for people in different time zones to participate.

4.  If you want to include the linky on your giveaway post so that others can link up from your blog the code in available here.   If you choose to add the linky to your post, you MUST include the above rules so that it is fair play for all.

I know that Leap Day is next Wednesday, so what do you do in the meantime?  First off, decide what you're going to giveaway.  You can even write your post and schedule it to appear at 12:00 am on the 29th.  And second, please spread the word.  It will be a very lonely linky party if it is just me giving a little something away.  Post about it, add the buttons to your sidebar, mention it to everyone you know, pressure your friends into joining.  Just kidding about those last two.  Sort of.

I hope you'll join me in what I think will be a really fun day of giveaways!

Hop on over to Elizabeth's blog Such a Sew and Sew and read about her upcoming blog party hop.  Join in or just come back and play on Leap Day.

Remember to visit back on Wednesday, February 29th to win some fun prizes.

Blog Hop Party Winner

   

   WOW!

What Fun!

This is the first time I've hosted one of the Blog Hop Parties.  I didn't know what to expect.  It was fun and I'll do it again too.  I thought about trying to do the other giveaway hop that was running at the same time, but for a first time go at this I think one was enough.  Thank you for visiting to my blog and leaving me a sewing tip.

I had 148 wonderful sewing tips left as comments.  It was fun to read them all and see how many of us have the same favorite tip.  Great minds think alike, right?  If you are interested you can read these tips here.  

I also had 29 No-Reply comments, of the 29 comments I was able to trace back to 6 email addresses or back to a blog where I could leave a comment.  I really don't like to have to work that hard though,  and hope you will take the time to check and make sure your are not a No-Reply Blogger or will leave your email address with your comment.  See the No-Reply Bloggers Tab above for help.  Please remember if I can't reply to you, then you are a No-Reply Blogger, you can not win and there were 23 comments left I could not reply to.

Now, drum roll please, my lucky winner and her great tip is:



Congratulations
