$40 CSN Give away

I'm sure by now most of you have visited CSN Stores. There have been several bloggers hosting give aways or product reviews of their stores. I have both hosted a give away and reviewed a product. I have also purchased items from their stores. They have some very nice quality items at a good price. You also receive your order in a timely manner.

This time around I am hosting a give away. The winner will win a $40 gift certificate (shipping costs not included) that they will be able to use in any of their stores.

While doing a bit of window shopping recently I came across their adjustable bar stools. We do not have a breakfast bar in our kitchen but my sewing room does have a long counter on one wall that would benefit from a couple bar stools. 


While window shopping I found a few fun barstools...

I love this color of purple and the shape looks nice too.

This one is a bit funky but not for me.

This one has a nice fun shape. Very modern looking.

If you have been hanging out at my blog for awhile you might know about my clumsiness. I have a tendency to injure myself very easily so this stool wouldn't work very well for me. I would probably slide right off while turning around. It does look like it would be nice in a craft room though. 

I think for my own safety I need this bad boy. Don't think even I could fall out of this one.




OK, if you made it all the way to the end of this post than you deserve the chance at winning a CSN Stores $40 gift certificate! I will keep this giveaway open until Saturday March 5th at Noon EST.

Sometime after that I will let my random number generator choose a winner.

And the Winner is......

I asked Robbie to pick a winner this time. I asked him to pick a number between 1 and 10 and of course he said 24. He said that means 6. Then he says minus 5 plus 4. Sometimes this kid just drives me crazy.

So....the winner is Pam from Gingerbread Snowflakes!!!  Congratulations, Pam I sent you an email. 

It's Monday again and a give away

I thought since we have started a new week we may as well start it with a give away.

While I was hunting for Eagle patterns a bit ago I found this book on Ebay. I went ahead and made the Eagle even though it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

He turned out cute though. Different but still cute. He stands about 6" high and is crocheted.

He has safety eyes so he is safe for kids but I would still keep an eye on the little ones just in case.

So if you would like to give this little eagle a new home just leave a comment on this post. I will keep this give away open until this Friday night. Then I will have one of the boys draw a name. 

It's all about me today

Today's my birthday! I have been hanging out here for 42 years. I stopped celebrating birthdays a long time ago.  When the kids were younger it was always just another day. Now that they are (mostly) grown I've been thinking about celebrating again. Now that I am older I have this urge to celebrate (or decorate) all special days and Holidays. While wandering around the web I found something that will help me with this....

I found this on Amazon and I just had to order it! I've always loved Sunbonnet Sue and now I can enjoy her each month. That is if I ever make any. I've been wanting to make some mini quilts to decorate around the house. I love to change things out each month so these mini quilts would be perfect. Plus, the designs are just so cute.

I have no appointments today so I am hoping to spend a good part of the day in the sewing room. The boys can eat leftovers from all the Super Bowl cooking I did yesterday. I'm itching to go and do a bit of fabric shopping though. JoAnn's has all their Valentine's fabric on sale right now and my stash could use some more reds and pinks.....
