Getting Ready for ...

... some special giveaways. It seems with the NaBloPoMo, I'll be needing some special giveaway to mark my 500th post by Jan. 4, 2011. I can't decide whether to give away 5 $10 or 1 $50 gift certificates to 123 stitch. Spread the wealth or make one person very happy? What do you, my readers, think?


I am also up to 91 followers at the moment ... when I hit 100, I'd like to give away a stitched gift. I thought I'd make an ort jar and have started designing the top. I want this to be real funky and whimsical and I intend to fringe the edges of this top with actual orts attached with the stitch commonly used in rug hooking. I have the perfect fat little globe of a jar. I have some rainbow rick-rack in two widths and some brightly colored floss. All the elements are coming together ... this should be a nice little diversion.

I know I don't comment often, but I love reading your blog. I think the idea of an ort jar for your giveaway is a great one. As for your 500th post....I think you should do what your heart leads you to do. :)

My vote is for 5 $10 gift certificates. That way, it may generate more business for 123. They do a great job with that website & message board. Linda/PA

PS--I read your blog, but don't comment often because I keep forgetting my Google password, lol

An Ort jar sounds great. I vote for the $10.00 GC because that's enough money for a fabulous chart and more winners are always nice!!! Very generous of you.
