Give Away Party!

When I saw that Vicki from Field Trips in Fiber blog was having a week long give away linky party I had to join the fun.  What clever idea!    Vicki will be having a give away everyday this week and hosting a linky so you can link up your blog and give away.  Click HERE for the details at her blog. 
This is a great way to meet new bloggers and increase your blog traffic and followers.  Of course it's not all about your blog stats.  It's about fun and sharing your love of quilting and crafts.  You can just grab one or two lovelies from your stash and give it away!  It doesn't need to be fabric, it can be sewing notions, mug rugs, a small quilt, anything!  Just give something!
Doesn't it sound like fun?  Who doesn't love fun?
I know I do.  Everyday should be filled with laughter and happiness.  I try to laugh even when times are tough.  It's been a goal of mine to make sure my kids learn this valuable lesson of laughter that can get you through any part of life's struggles.  Of course they take it to extreme sometimes.  Here's a couple pictures of my boys when they were teenagers.  We were in Kohl's shopping for school cloths and I couldn't find them.  They were in disguise!  Both of them had put on hats and Suit coats, I walked right past them several times, those little boogers!  Now I need to say this, we weren't buying cloths because their pants were so holey, they would cut holes in their brand new pants to make them look awful...KIDS!  Glad they grew out of that phase.

They've had good role models along the way, my brother being one of them.  This is Greg (he's bald) modeling one of my moms wigs(on the right), he looks like a chubby Rod Stewart!  And I had to show you how handsome he was with out the wig.
Let's not forget gramps...everytime we tried to get a picture he would make this silly face!  I guess silliness is a good thing to inherit.
So when I was in the LQS last week and spied this LOL charm pack I knew it was perfect for Vicki's Linky party
LOL by Me and My Sister Designs, just look at the gorgeous colors.  I love these gals and their fabrics.  
Barb and Mary are always having a good time.  And that giggle spirit comes out in their fabrics and patterns. 
To be enter in my giveaway for the LOL charm pack by Me and My Sister Designs you can do one or all of the following.  You'll need a separate comment for each one completed.
  1. Visit Vicki's blog, follow or subscribe to her blog and comment here on this that you did so.  
  2. Join the linky party at Vicki's blog and have a give away on your blog.  Leave a comment here on this post telling me you've linked up on Vicki's linky here.
  3. Be a follower of my blog and comment on this post how you follow.
  4. Leave a comment on this post telling me who's your favorite comedian.  Mine's Robin Williams, he could make anyone laugh from the smallest child to oldest adult.

I'll announce the winner of the charm pack next Wednesday, October 22, 2014.  

Good Luck!
This giveaway is closed.

  2. My favorite comedian is easily Robin Williams, I never got the chance to watch him live and that was something I hoped to do sometime. A close second favorite is Gabriel Iglesias, and I did get to see him with my husband just before the new year! It was awesome because we were waiting outside to get tickets and got to meet him as he came up the stairs, he's a really great person and wonderful comedian!

  3. Love giveaways although I've never won one-lol. Your boys are so cute! That is such a funny story and I'll bet it's one of the stories that will always be told at your family get-togethers. Those photos of them in the store are priceless! Have you framed them? I remember the photo of you picking berries with your "snakeproof" outfit on. You should frame all those photos and have a wall of fun. We have one with my son standing in front of a sign that says "Hitchhikers may be escaping inmates"-lol. He was posing like he was hitching a ride. Great giveaway!

    I raised two sons, they didn't like shopping for their own clothes until high school. One year they totally blew me and my husband away by buying THEIR own school clothes before we had an opportunity to take 'em shopping.
    Grown into really great men now:)

  63. I, too, love Robin Williams. If you had asked me at age 8 through probably 14 who my favorite actor was, it was Robin Williams (NOT Tom Cruise like all of my friends!). I've always known there was something special about a guy who can make you laugh!

    ReplyDelete

  69. Love the family photos, you obviously come from a very fun-loving crew.

    I don't know that I have a favorite comedian, but I do have a lot of fondness for Red Skelton. I know he's one of the old guys, but I loved his routines.

  70. I follow Vicki's blog. She is my dye guru. Thanks!

  71. I tend to be a little too serious but Robin Williams and Chris Rock are the two comedians who have made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I love Michael McIntyre. These days it's hard to find a true comedian I think, so many of them seem to think that if they just shout and use foul language then they are funny. I'm obviously turning into a Grumpy Old Woman!

    ReplyDelete
  73. My favorite comedian is Tim Conway -- all he has to do is stand there and I'll laugh.
