GIVEAWAY

Once again I am finding myself so far behind. Folks, just know that I am not being a slacker. For over 2 weeks I was dealing with a painful left foot as a result of a dining room chair leg (at my daughters) jumping out to hit my toes. Bruised and swollen, it was difficult to put on a shoe.

Then I went to a class reunion for the first time (#45). It was a two evening affair, the football game Friday night followed by a tailgate party at the F.O.E.. The second evening there was a dinner at the same location. One gal and her husband (they had come after being at the game) claimed to have come and left on Friday because they had colds, felt ill and complained that the room was way too hot, her words "it was 200 degrees". Nice to know this after she gave me a nice big hug and insisted on sitting next to me. Then on Sunday I went to a family reunion. On Monday (48 hours incubation period for a bug) I woke up with a sore, scratchy throat, coughing and sneezing. Blowing my nose and hacking up a bunch of nasty stuff. Two boxes of Kleenex and a roll of toilet paper later (Thursday) I knew this was not good I needed to see the doctor. When I called they told me they were booked till next Wednesday. She said she would put me on the list if there happened to be a cancellation. By 11am she called and told me they could see me at 1:30 and thank goodness. I am now on an antibiotic, nasal spray and some Mucinex. On Tuesday I had no choice but to babysit my grandson. Two days later guess who has a runny nose and a bit of a cough. Try watching a 2 and a half year old and have them not all over you from the time they get up till you lay them down for a nap. I tried not to breath on him and to not cough around him. All these years one of my pet peeves has been sick people out and about running around unsuspecting well and seemingly healthy people, spreading their germs like they don't have a care in the world, or don't give a crap who they infect. As a nurse I took care of a lot of sick people and not once brought anything home to my family, but then, I knew the patients were sick, and they sure weren't hugging you.

Okay, I've got that off of my chest and enough about it. Let's get to that GIVEAWAY.

It is open to ALL of my followers whether you live in the US or elsewhere. There are 2 requirements ( I will make this easy peasy) you must be a follower and you need to leave a comment on this post only. It can't get any simpler than that. What follows is photos of the items with brief description:

Wonderful, new & never used ( I had 2). There are 128 pages of instructions plus diagrams. Back of book has all kinds of ideas for using snowflakes.   



New and never used (I had 2). There are 128 pages of great ideas and projects. Perfect for the gardener and craft lover.
This book is another duplicate, gently used, published in France 1970. Has both knit and crochet stitches with instructions. This book belonged to my mother. My book is falling apart, but this one isn't, has 154 pages.
Knook Dishcloth Book. Another duplicate for me. New, unused. There are 48 pages.
New, uncut, 2009 Simplicity Pattern using Yo Yos. Another duplicate. Cute baby projects.

Now the last thing is this new, darling fox shawl pin with inlays. Whether you knit or crochet this would be perfect with that favorite shawl.

I hope you participate in this giveaway. You only need to be a follower and leave a comment on only this post. That is all that you really need to do, but if you happen to mention this giveaway on your blog (not required, unless you want to) I will put your name in twice for the drawing. Giveaway will end on Friday September 26th. I will post the winner and you need to send your address to my yahoo email address located near the top of the page in the right hand column. The winner will be announced the following day on Saturday. Thank you for being a follower, have a great weekend and GOOD LUCK ♥

  2. Hi Susanne. I hope you're feeling better. I don't like when sick people are out running around in public either. I realize that they have stuff to do too, but I don't want their sickness.
    Thanks for offering such a great giveaway. :)

  12. Oh gosh that same bug just went like wildfire through our house, each of us getting it 2 days after the person before them. Uck. I needed antibiotics too, but ended up with a bad reaction, so it's back to the doc on Monday.
    Looks like a great giveaway!!!!!

  13. Hello Susanne. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well and hope you'll be better very soon. I try and stay very clear of people with colds or such like ( difficult task) as I always have problems with my throat when I pick up a cold. As I am a teacher it can be quite a disaster when I lose my voice.

    What a smashing giveaway please enter me for the draw.
    Take care!
