Giveaway time!

So, who wants to win this cute little charm pack?

I can hardly believe that I have already written my 50th post on this blog.  I've met so many nice people since I've started blogging and it has become a really fun hobby.  Thanks for taking the time to read what I write and to look at my pics!

So, for this giveaway you can enter twice.  
1. Followers get one entry- be sure to leave a comment that you are a follower.
2. Leave a comment about the blog. What do you like?  What don't you like? (But be nice!)  What would you like to see more of?
Make sure you leave two separate comments if you are entering twice.

The contest will be open until April 30.  
I will announce the winner of the charm pack on May 1.
Good luck to you all!

I didn't realize your blog is so new. You've done a great job of getting involved with the blogging community (giveaway, pillow swap). I need to be better at that!

Bobbi said...

im totally in :)

Elizabeth said...

I just found your blog, but the thing I love is that fabulous tote you made. I love the fabric you chose and the great corduroy trim!

Liz said...

What I like: I like the buttons and the background stripes. I also like the useful stuff on the left, such as archives, GFC, tags and blog links.

What I would change: can you make the middle part wider? It only leaves like four inches width for text on my 19-inch widescreen monitor. Also, I would change your banner: it is too dark, hard to read the name of your blog. Also, it lacks visual coherence, especially with that flag mug that doesn't go with the quilt square or the owl, either thematically or aesthetically or even by color. Also, I always say this whenever someone wants input on his or her blog, but I strongly dislike when music starts playing as soon as I arrive. I have like 20 tabs open so it is hard for me to figure out where it's coming from, especially when I have the volume muted and then unmute it later to watch a video or something and five blogs are playing music at once.

Thank you for this giveaway. The parts of your blog that I enjoy are the photos and discussion of your projects. The comments of what you are doing sprinkled within make it enjoyable. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

I like the links to other blogs. Not that I need to read more blogs than I do, but I can see how recent things have been updated and what titles interest me.

Thanks for the giveaway.

Spendlove said...

You have a very cute blog. Thanks for the great teacher appreciation idea. I love that you have the blogs you visit with the last time they posted - so hopeful! Thanks for the chance.

EmileeHope said...

I just found your blog through Jaybirds Quilts giveaway list, so I don't really know anything about past posts, but just looking it over, I think you have done a great job with your background, and basic set up of the blog! Very cute!

EmileeHope said...

Oh! And I signed up to be a follower so I could get that second entry!! Hope I am the lucky number drawn!!

Wendy said...

I've scrolled through your posts.
Very cute!
As a quilter, of course I'd like to see more quilts! ;-) But i'm starting to get into embroidery too, so i'm liking that.
I also TRULY appreciate that your music is available, but it doesn't start up when i log onto your blog. I usually get knocked off the internet when i go on anybody's blog that has music start automatically. Thanks!
Thank you for this opportunity Jamie!

Love what I've seen and read. Some of which is coincidental ~ I've got 2 boys that I would love to teach German to {I'm German myself}. My hubby is fantastic and our rottweiler is my companion when my boys are at school.

I'm new to your blog, but just started following. I'm a teacher too .. part time elementary at the moment ... hoping for a math job next year. Quilting makes a great math activity though. I like the tutorial that you did involving your son. Try giving him some graph paper and get him to design your next project!

foodmathquilts said...

And now I'm officially a follower too! thanks for sponsoring this contest!

Deb said...

Well, this is my very first visit to your blog...found you via Jaybird quilts. Because I'm a visual learner, I love seeing pictures...lots of pictures! Congrats on your 50th post.
