Giveaway Day

Welcome to my giveaway! For first-time visitors, I am a reporter for The Associated Press by day, crafter by night. This blog has been a bit neglected as of late because we are getting ready for a home renovation project that requires us to move out for a few months, starting Saturday! But in the midst of packing, I did find some time to make a few goodies for Sew, Mama, Sew!’s giveaway day.

I am offering a set of colorful coasters I made using the Modern Geometric Table Runner & Coaster patternΒ featured earlier this month at Sew, Mama, Sew!, and a set of notecards I made using photographs I have taken. The winner will get the coasters and his/her choice of notecard sets, either the “Color Collection,” or “Granite State Seasons.” (I personally like the “Seasons” set better, but I can see how that might not have broad appeal beyond New Hampshire/New England!

I will close comments at 10 p.m. EST Friday, and will announce the winner Saturday. I will ship internationally.

    Thank you for a fun giveaway. I would love set number one as I really like the photos particulary the one with the strawberries. My favourite summer drink is Elderflower cordial.

  • Laura Simoes

    I love everything you do, including both notecard sets. Best wishes with the relocation–the view will be better!
    As for favorite summer cocktails, I say anything served in a mason jar while sitting in an Adirondack chair, looking out over Wild Goose Pond. Too obvious?

  • Dana

    I love card sent #2. I live in New England, but am moving to the Pacific Northwest soon so I’d love to remember this area when I write cards to friends. And I love sangria in the summer.

  • I like notecard set #2 and my favorite summer beverage is strawberry lemonade.

  • I love the first notecard set. And in summer, I love to sip on iced tea and cold coffee. Thanks for the generous giveaway!

  • Liz

    Set #1 is more my style. Lovely images on both though! I’m a summer margarita drinker, but am happy with an ice cold beer too!

  • Janet Frank

    I like #1, but, both are very pretty! My favorite summer drink is good ole homemade lemonade with strawberries frozen in ice cubes.

  • Set #1.
    Favorite summer drink? Gin & Tonic. I rarely drink and when asked for doctor visits “how many drinks per week?” I have to reply 12/year which seems to confound medical personnel. But I can slurp down two gin & tonics on the right summery day in an enviable fashion.

    I have my own two sms giveaways.
    Thanks for the chance to win your darling cards

  • Iced tea is my go-to summer drink but homemade Meyer lemon lemonade is a close second! I’d go for the :colors” cards. Thanks!

    My favorite summer beverage is anything lemonade. I was at a local store (PCC) and realized that lemonade isn’t just lemonade; I found some ginger lemonade and some spicy lemonade and spicy limeade, etc. If I had more money I’d rotate through them every day. πŸ™‚

My daughter graduated from Wellesley and Tufts both in MA and now lives in MA. Our much delayed spring is finally here along with lots of May flies.

  • Nicola

    I would choose the Colour Collection notecards. Both sets are pretty but as you said, it has less appeal to me here in South Africa! Thanks for the chance to win.

  • Karen B

    I would go with the color collection. I have enjoyed visiting New England but I really like your color cards! I like watered down orange juice. People think I’m weird, but it’s refreshing and doesn’t leave an overly-sweet taste in my mouth. Even better if I can water it down with sparkling water!

  • I love the seasons notecards. And my favorite summer drink is one we invented. Muddle blackberries and mint with a little honey then add club soda. (It helps that the blackberries, mint, and honey all come from our backyard!)

  • Joan H.

    I like set no. 1. They are beautiful. I am a strawberry lemonade drinker.

  • Definitely the second set. As for a summer beverage my all year round favourite is cherry pepsi max.

  • I like both sets! But I’m going to give it to set #1 because of the whale. My #1 summer drink is a homemade iced latte.

    I like the second set. They seem dreamier. Favourite summer drink is a slurpy.

  • Chris

    I love both sets but I guess set 1 fits me more. Favorite drink, well I don’t drink , health reasons. I appreciate water a little trick I learned is to throw frozen raspberries,lemon,orange, watermelon slices or any fruit, just a little in a big tall glass of ice water and as they melt your water has a wonderful hidden taste.

  • Mruna

    Set 1! Love the colors!

    I prefer fresh watermelon juice or coconut water to beat the heat!

  • Note set #2 would be my choice. I really like cold water the best!

  • Set #1, please! I love lemonade in the summer, you know the one you make from lemons and sugar? REAL lemonade that is.
