Fall Celebration GIveaway


Alright, I promised to show some love today, remember? It's the first day of fall and fall is one of my four favorite seasons! So, to celebrate, I am hosting my first no strings attached giveaway. All you have to do to win is enter and the random number generator will do the rest. And, because I like being nice, you'll have five chances to enter! Now, first, let me tell you what you will win. Just especially for this giveaway, I made this gorgeous fall wall hanging. Measuring 17 inches square, it is a smaller version of one I just listed in my shop. Just looking at it makes me think of fall!

OK, now for what you need to do to enter. You have five chances and need to leave a separate comment for each entrance:
  1. Leave a comment telling me why you'd love to have this wall hanging.
  2. Become a follower of this blog and leave a comment telling me you are. If you're already a follower, leave a comment saying so.
  3. Go to The Quilted House, look around, and come back here to tell me what your favorite item is.
  4. Go to my Etsy team's, the Rochester, NY Etsy Street Team, blog and become a follower. (Trust me, you'll want to. We'll be having the mother of all giveaways soon!!) Don't forget to leave me a comment here letting me know you did.
  5. Mention this giveaway on your blog, Facebook, twitter, etc., and leave me a comment telling me you did (no link necessary. I trust you.)
It's that easy. But, you know what, I think I want to give a little extra love to my faithful followers (who by now should be cognoscenti of me) in the form of two bonus chances to win:
  1. Leave a comment answering: Animal lover that I am, name one of the three animals I would love to sic a dog on.
  2. Leave a comment answering: What do I love to watch on DVD? (No need to be series specific.)
Best of luck to all, but don't delay. This giveaway ends Sunday, 9/27/2009, and I'll announce the winner on Monday! By the way, all are welcome to play, U.S. & International!

    you know i love you, and fall is my favorite season. i even had a fall wedding during the summer *smile*. that wall hanging would remind me of the special place you had in my wedding. oh wait, you're not picking the winner, are you? *smile*
