Well Everyone, I am going to be taking a little blogging break until Monday so I can focus on finishing Dad's art website this week. In the meantime, I am having a GIVEAWAY! YAY! After being inspired by Morgan's First Day of Spring Giveaway (which is ending on Thursday), I decided to have my own giveaway to celebrate the official arrival of Spring!
I made this felt pin cushion over the past week or so and am so excited to be giving it to one of y'all! I love making these pincushions! Here are some other ones that I have made...here...and here. I picked the periwinkle flower to top this one, and added some button centers and embroidery for a little something special. :)
If you'd like to enter my giveaway, just leave a comment under this post! You can only comment once, but if you post about my giveaway on your blog, let me know in a comment and I'll enter you twice. This giveaway will end on Monday, March 31st (the last day of March!) at noon. Have fun everyone, and I will see you on Monday and post the winner of the drawing! Enjoy Spring!
Please enter me Alli!! You did a great job on the pin cushion. What a great idea for a prize! I never would have thunk it :) .

Hey, Allison, I just had to leave another comment. After signing up for your give-away (which I learned about from another blog), I read up about you and your testimony and I just want to encourage you and tell you what a blessing it is to "meet" a young woman who is so commited to Christ and living a life that honours Him. I'm not sure if this will mean anything to you but I'm almost 36 and still living with my parents! :) The plan was always that I'd move out when I got married but that hasn't happened yet and I trust God with the reasons. Life is such a joy when we let the Lord lead us instead of relying on our own wisdom.
May He continue to bless you! You're a lovely lady and a great example to other young women. I wish you lived in Montreal! :)

Hi Alli ~ I'd love to enter your contest and win a pincushion you made! I'd love to eat any of the recipes you've made to... but I guess you aren't giving away all your delicious cooking! LOL!!
I also posted on our blog this morning about your giveaway:

Hi, Alli, I thought I'd entered earlier, but it must not have taken.
I love the purplish pincushion and would love to win something you made!
Fun to hear that you are almost finished with your dad's website! Yay!
