My 3rd Blogoversary & the "V-List" GIVEAWAY!!!

I'm feeling a bit on cloud nine! I had a successful muslin fitting with a client just a few hours ago! And on top of that today is my 3rd BLOGOVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Seems just like yesterday I reluctantly made my first post and introduced my little self to the "blogoverse" (aka the blog universe, just made that up LOL!). I was SO nervous! The lovely Knitmachinequeen left  the very first comment! Since then you guys have always been SO gracious, welcoming, helpful, and supportive. I've always appreciated that.

So I'm hosting a giveaway to celebrate this milestone. You've heard of the O-List, a list of Oprah's favorite items, well I'm hosting the V-List----yep as you guessed it---a list of my 10 favorite things (things that were significant to me this year) that I plan to giveaway to ONE LUCKY WINNER!

Blogoversary--- MASSIVE GIVE-AWAY begins tomorrow!!!!

In 7 days I'll be celebrating my 1 YEAR Blogoversary. To celebrate my blogoversary I'll be having a Give-A-Way 7 days---that's right I'll be having 7 Give-A-Way's---- in a row beginning on tomorrow evening and ending on my Anniversary day which is November 28th. But due to the holidays, I'll leave all of the Give-A-Way's open until the end of the month and will announce all of the winner's on December 1st.

It's been a Wonderful year and I'm so thankful to for all of the experience Before I proceed with the details of the Give-A-Way's please allow me a moment to be sentimental......

I can't believe I'm 7 days away from my 1st Blogoversary. Ohhhh, I'm so excited. Who knew I'd even venture out to create a blog let alone make it through 1 year. During this time of year I love to reflect on those things I'm thankful for---actually I try to do that all year, but especially as the year's ends. It's been a WONDERFUL year and you Guys are part of the reason that's been the case. I've learned alot by pushing myself and embarking on some new territories. I had a few first's--my first pair of pants and my first bathing suit. I've had alot of great garments and alot of not-so-great garments (I'll review my garments at year's end). All in all it's been one heck of a ride.  And I can't even say how valuable your comments and advice have been! In any case, you are only good as your support, and I've felt the love from all of your comments, critique's, and advice. And on top of that I've had the pleasure following you on your sewing adventures. You guys have been great and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ok, I'm done being mushy, back to the details about the Give-A-Way's.....


The first Year's the BIG year, so why not make theses Give-Away's memorable. Here's some of the items I plan to Give-A-Way......and yes, there are 2  Best of Threads DVD-ROM's up for grabs!!!!

  I plan to throw a couple of more goodies (a little fabric) into the pile as well and they'll be unveiled throughout the week.

Now I know what you're thinking. What's the catch? At least that would be what I'd be thinking (I'm overly suspicious when things seem too good to be true). There's no catch. Just 2 CONDITIONS:

Condition #1: To qualify for the Give-A-Way's you have to Follow my Blog or either add me to your Blog Roll (hey, how else am I going to track you down if you're the winner:)

Condition #2: Every Give-A-Way will be accompanied by a question. Answer the question and you're entered into the Give-A-Way automatically! You know I love posing questions and getting your feedback. The questions will be pretty fun:)

So it's that simple,-----be a Follower and answer the Give-A-Way question and you qualify for the prize. You can enter one or all of the Give-A-Way's. But you can only win one.

Please spread the WORD to Others!!!!!  If you have a Blog and wouldn't mind posting a link to my Give-Away I would appreciate it. I know people love a good Give-Away.

To recap: The 7 Give-Away's  will begin tomorrow and will occur each day until November 28th with the contests winners being announced on December 1st.  Everyone has until the end of the month to enter.
Winners will be chosen randomly. And prizes will be mailed (by way of media mail) the very next day.

Again, thanks for everything:) BTW, my corduroy jacket is coming along quite well. I was off to a slow start but got my act together and should be done soon. I'll save those blogging details for after the contest is over.


All the Best,
~Victoria
