Blog Love Giveaway!

This is something I've been meaning to do since May... You probably all know why it didn't happen sooner.

I have decided to offer two fun surprise packages to the readers of this blog. One will be geared towards embroidery, and the other towards sewing. I promise that both of them will be full of love - each one will comprise a handmade little treat, a stashy little treat, and a fun little treat.
Anyone writing a comment to this entry over the next two weeks will be entered into the draw. Please don't be shy! Everyone is very welcome to enter :)

You friends are always so caring, in sad and happy times alike... This is but a small way to thank you all!

You have some great ideas here and fantastic products. Good luck with your giveaway and welcome to the DaWanda Sellers Blog Group!

P.S. how do you find time to publish so many blogs?!

Hi Isabelle. The giveaway is a lovely thing to do - especially while you're sooo busy organising for the wedding!

I'm enjoying watching your wedding dress updates. I love that fabric - are you having second thoughts about it still? You're going to be an August bride like I was last year :o) I truly hope you have gorgeous weather and a fantastic day like I did (it was the very last sunny day of August too).

When you're done with all the wedding stuff and things are settling down, I'd love to discuss an idea for a t-shirt for Riley with you, if you're up for it.

Love Kxx

IN addition to being a sewing and stitching inspiration, I love to read your blog to remind me why I am no longer an academic. But it's mixed with empathy. :)

Carla said...

That's so thoughtful of you for doing a blog giveaway...I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now and I think your work is lovely :)

Sharon said...

How lovely is that-a blog giveaway. I know it will be great. Only 32 more days to the wedding-very exciting!

Aussie Stitcher said...

That is a lovely gesture Isabelle. 32 days until the wedding, I am excited for you.

Justine said...

I'm so happy for you, I think it's a wonderful thing for Seb and you to get maried. I've just had a look on your french blog and I don't understand why people give you their opinion this way. Any way I wish you both joy and happyness.

Kisses

stitcherw said...

Adorable date ticker, so bright and cheery (and cute little ladybug). What a sweet offer of a giveaway, all your work is so lovely, I can't wait to see what you put together for it.

With everything you have going on related to the wedding I don't know how you find the time to fit in the extra stuff you are doing. Be careful you don't overdo and burn yourself out.

Jenna said...

You are always thinking of others, you dear girl. You shouldn't be worrying about your blog readers with such a momentous occasion to prepare for! You're such a sweetheart. I hope that you are doing well. *hug*

Julie said...

Your wedding dress is going to be lovely! I was an August bride a couple of years ago.

The Silver Thistle said...

Isabelle, my friend! It's been forever and you've been soooooo busy!

How lovely to see all your project pics and catch up with you again.

I was so sorry to hear of your Mamie though. My gran left us to be with her husband on Valentine's day a few years ago and now every Valentine's day is hers. We always take red roses with us when we visit her at the Garden of Remembrance on Feb 14th.

Much love to you.

Claire said...

My kitties, Maxie, Marie, Merlin, and Akira - plus the puppies - all are excited for you and your wedding! I may not comment often, but I lurk daily! Thinking of you. C

Lauren said...

After seeing all the unbelievable stuff you've made, how can I not comment? I agree with Jenna, though - you should be focused on the wonderful wedding, not on us!

ikkinlala said...

Best wishes for your wedding!

Joanie said...
