Crocheting the Day Away {GIVEAWAY}

This giveaway is now closed… Thanks for your entries!

I have an awesome giveaway today for all of you fabulous readers. I am just so blessed to have people willing to read this blog and leave encouraging and sweet comments. You do not know how much those mean to me. So here is a giveaway to celebrate 400 followers!

This one is sponsored by my mom, Jane! She has made a beautiful journal along with a set of cards for one lucky winner.

Check out her blog if you get a chance. She has been posting some great tutorials and other fun stuff. And I know she has plenty more to share.

The Path Leading Home

 

This journal is perfect for any person with ideas, to-do lists, or creative thoughts you want to jot down

Journal5

Description written by Jane

This journal is the perfect place to write down all of your crochet
patterns, ideas, and inspirations!  It measures about 8x10 inches.
The front cover is a print of an original photograph taken by me.
It’s embellished with a satin bow and a cute vintage button.  The
inside cover has a special place to write your name and date.

 

My mom made me one of these for Christmas and I just love it. I write down crochet projects I want to do, blog post ideas, sketches for hats I want to design or make, and orders I get. I can finally keep everything in one place and written out.

Journal 1

Of course this is also great to just journal your personal thoughts

Journal3

Picture yourself with a hot cup of coffee or tea, all cozy on the couch journaling your hopes and dreams.

Smile

Journal4

She is also including a set of 4 cards! All the pictures are her photography. Aren’t they beautiful?

Cards

So who would like to be the lucky winner of these two fabulous gifts?

I decided to give you guys three ways to enter!

Mandatory entry:

Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing to crochet or knit.

Extra entries:

**Please leave a separate comment for each extra entry**

1. Follow my blog (or tell me if you already do)

2. Follow my mom’s blog (here)

So that’s three different comments you can leave which equals three chances to win!

 

This giveaway will close on Tuesday January 24th at 12:00 PM (CST)

When I announce the winner, you will have 48 hours to contact me otherwise a new winner will have to be drawn.

I will draw the winner using Random.org

 

Thanks so much everyone and good luck!
