Remember those MAIL SLIPS? ((And Surprise Give-Away!))

Studio_May2014 110
This morning I bemoaned having to make a trip to the “far away” post office because there was a package that needed signing for.

You should have seen me when the postal guy asked me: “Well, are you going to share?!?”

And I thought…SHARE? WHAT?!?

The customs form said the box containted “chocolates and biscuits”  All the way from AUSTRALIA!!

I could hardly wait to get the box home and get into it ---

I tore into it with reckless amusement and spilled the contents out onto the dining room table, aka Shipping Station:

Studio_May2014 111

Holy Tim Tams!!

Thank you thank you thank you goes to Vonnie who was so kind to think of us!  We’ll have fun parceling these out this weekend at the cabin.  Jason is bringing up his new girl friend ((This is serious stuff if he actually wants to introduce us to someone special!)) and we will have a great weekend.

A couple other goodies showed up with no message at all and I’m not sure WHY they came to my door, but we are going to share the love:

NOTE:  THIS DRAWING ENDED June 1, 2014! Congrats to our lucky winners!

Studio_May2014 115

Two copies of the latest McCall’s Quilting!

Studio_May2014 116

Featuring my friend John Kubiniec’s pattern, Independence!

((He’s got the scrappy neutrals thing going on, y’all!))

There are loads of great quilts included for summer ---and we are going to draw for two lucky winners!

Just leave me a comment below FROM A REAL COMPUTER and if you are on a mobile device, you have got to know by now that you can’t comment via a link in Facebook ---you have to open the link in a new safari or browser window to be able to comment.  Same thing if you are on some blog reader services.  Open it up in it’s OWN PAGE and you should be fine.

Do not leave your entry in the side-bar guestbook.  Do not leave your entry in Facebook or instagram.  It has to be HERE in the comments section of THIS POST only so I can use the random number generator to draw our two winners.

Please leave your name and email address if commenting as anonymous.  If I can’t reach you after drawing your entry, we’ll have to choose someone else.

We will draw Sunday Night after I return home from the cabin ---

Ready, Set? Good luck everyone!

Oh, and PS – plan on Quilt Cam Monday night as Tuesday morning I am off to Oregon! Whoowhooo!

Thanks for the giveaway! And that sure was a nice prize pack you received from Australia! Made me smile when I saw TimTam (never heard of them) because my daughter lives on a street by that name! So if I win the magazine, maybe you can throw in an empty TimTam wrapper. My daughter would get a kick out of me giving it to her :)

Bonnie -- I think you are Superwoman! How do you do all of the things you do? You travel so much, you have 2 houses to keep up, you write articles for magazines ... then you have a hubby, kids and other things I can't know of! Can't imagine how you do it! Do you ever sleep? Nice batch of goodies from AU! Love scrappy quilts as much as you do! I recently acquired a 'new' treadle -- a Singer that has all of the accessories, manual, bobbins and so much more! So excited to get her cleaned up and humming! Add me to the list of happy wannabee winners!
