The Great Granny Square Giveaway!!! Closed
The granny squares have been sorted and are being sent to their new homes as I type. Unfortunately, we had someone back out at the last minute, so all us gals decided it would be great to give the "extras" away!!
One lucky reader will win 20 granny squares!! And all you ladies that were in the swap, please feel free to sign up...wouldn't it be great to win more grannies?? I think so!
Okay...here are the rules:
1. Leave me a comment on this post telling me what your next crocheting project is.
2. If you are a follower please let me know in the comments and that will get you an extra entry.
3. If you aren't a follower become one and that gets you an extra entry...just remember to let me know you are now following.
4. Blog about this giveaway and link it here in the comments...yep extra entry.
It is that easy!!! I will draw a winner Monday evening, May 17. Good luck!!
So I haven't been around much this week in blogland and I miss it and you!! I feel like I am running in circles this week and haven't had much creative energy. I am getting it back though. Today I am tackling this monster....
Seriously?? How does it always end up looking like this? It is more of a "catch all" for the stuff I don't have room for. I don't even remember the last time I actually created in my craft room. So sad!!! So today I am taking it on. I am going to organzie and clean...again. Tomorrow I have a dear friend visiting and she is going to help me get my vintage etsy shop up and running! I have been thinking about this for a long time and it is great to see it finally becoming a reality! I can't wait. I hope to have pictures and more information up on my blog here in the next week or so.
Tonight we are hosting a spring party but it is suppose to rain all evening. I really hope it stops so that we can grill out and enjoy the bonfire! What are your plans for the weekend?? Whatever they may be, I hope you are able to enjoy and stay dry!!
XOXO
Amber

Hi, this weekend, I am clearing my flat for refurbishment work (boring!) and I cannot crochet, but love to see others creations, and thats why I would love to win the granny squares, as my work is for charity and sadly missing this type of embellishment x I look forward to seeing your craft room, all done x I am a follower x And have popped your candy on my sidebar: http://www.charitycrafter.blogspot.com

Hi Amber!
As you know I am a novice to crochet and am teaching myself...my last post was my first completed project :)
My next project will hopefully actually turn out to be what I intended it to be.
(if that is confusing, you'll understand when you read my post)
I'm already a follower...count me in! xo
Hi Amber,
I'm definitely following your blog! I'm going to crochet some cupcake booties soon, maybe this weekend since it's rainingl. I've added a link to my blog for your giveaway.
Your biggest fan,
Mom
Please enter me in the giveaway, I came here from your Mom's blog, but am now a follower, haven't picked up a crochet hook in a few months, these would be a great project. Wish that I had known about the swap sooner, how fun!

My current/next crochet project is making a 12 inch Darth Vader for my brother in law. He just got a new job after being unemployed for a year and I want to give him something cheery for his desk ^_^
i've been subscribing to your blog via google reader but i've now finally become an official follower as well. i love the granny squares and would loooove to win some. i bet they'd become some mighty fine pillows in my new apartment! ;) my next crochet project will either be a rug or an afghan. when i blog about it i'll come back here and privide a link to the post!
thanks so much for the granny square inspiration!
Hi! I love your blog and am now a follower!
I'm a knitter but drool over crochet... I just wish I was better at it! I am debating on my next crochet project being either an amigurumi Super Mario Star OR I might bust through my scrap yarn with a granny square blanket. I'm almost finished with my current knitting project, so I plan to start it soon!

I got the package today!!!! I went all the way across town to my parents to get it :) in the rain lol I'm stoked! Gonna open when I get home!!
Tell Scott yes they do have a "harbor view" lol the bay actually and we live on a canal off the lake if I can interest you two in some tubing or wakeboarding :)lol can't wait to open em!!!
Oh wow! I would love to win this! I would display them in my new craft room if I won! I'm in the middle of crocheting stuff for my shop so that I can reopen it. I can't wait to see your vintage shop! I was looking through your flickr stream last night of your home and I was thinking that you had awesome taste in vintage decoration! Your home looks so lovely!
