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 pattern 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!

For a chance to win, just leave a comment, including which notecard set you would pick.  If you are feeling chatty, tell me about your favorite summer beverage.

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.

    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?

    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!

    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!

    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!

    I would choose the NOTECARD SET 1.

  21. Gene Black Avatar

    I love the scenery (especially water scenes) in set 2. My favorite summer drink is a huge glass of ice water with a little slice of lemon or lime in it. (I would say a Margarita, but there is too much sugar in it for those of us with diabetes.)

    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. 🙂

    I’m nowhere near the East Coast, but I really like a lot of the ones in set 2.

    Boy, the second set is my favorite because of those darling map envelopes! (Both sets of photos are great, but the maps put the 2nd set over the top.)

  41. Kat H Avatar

    My favorite summer beverage is ice cold water. Sometimes, I add some crushed mint leaves from my garden.

    Thank you for offering the lovely giveaway. I live in the little triangle of New York that sticks into Fairfield County CT. Our area is considered part of New England. 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.

    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.

    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!

  53. Mary Ann Avatar

    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!)

    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.

  56. Ciara Avatar

    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.

  57. Kirsten Avatar

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

  61. Chris Avatar
    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.

  62. Mruna Avatar
    Mruna

    Set 1! Love the colors!

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

  63. Sallie Avatar

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

  64. Janne Ellingsen Avatar

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

    Hard to choose… probably the colour ones 🙂 I am a sucker for raspberry lemonade… and were I wanting an alcholic beverage, I would add Amaretto to it 🙂
