giveaway winner … and the 30 day challenge!

Happy Monday Evening to ya!

Busy weekend … busy life! :)  Work, crafting, a fun Sunday watching football with a really cool person … and trying to keep things in order/organized / and conquering my ever-growing To-Do List!

My girl companion to the Kamoku Boy Bear pattern is almost done … hope to have pictures by Wednesday night!  I’m also working on a TOP SECRET quilt … I am pretty sure she doesn’t follow this blog … but just in case, I have to wait to UNVEIL until later in the week.  :o)  But I am excited by the project!

I am a few days late on my Project 365 (Quelle Surprise!) … but the challenge that I mention in my title should help that. But I will go into that in a minute. :)

FIRST, I want to announce the winner of my FIRST giveaway. :) It was small, seeing as this whole blogging/giveaway thing is new to me … we had 7 entrants … and I knew SIX of them! LOL. Thanks guys! :) I appreciate your support and love!

And, the winner is … commenter #2 … Melanie!

Since I know where you live, Mel, I will hand deliver your blue bird to you!  :o)

Thanks again, everyone, for participating and supporting me with your wonderful comments … and stay tuned for more giveaway fun.  I hope to do one a month! :)  And not just crocheted goodies!  Sooooo … keep your eyes peeled!

Fifteen Facts:

1. I’m obsessed with things being in Rainbow Order.
2. I am, at heart, a happy person … but I stress.  A LOT.  Over, usually, things I can’t control.
3. I work as a manager of a bookstore.
4. I’ve worked at said bookstore since I was 15 (with one year away) … that’s 17 years!!!!!  OMG.
5. I’m in love with yarn and fabric.
6. I LOVE video games.  I am currently obsessed with Plants vs. Zombies on my PC, Epic Mickey on my Wii and Tetris Party on my DS.  Oh and Angry Birds on my phone!!
7. My goal is to have my own craft business once future children arrive.
8. My FAVORITE vacation spot is Lancaster, PA.
9. I am currently reading Amish novels non-stop.
10. I LOVE to bake and HATE to cook.
11. As much as I’d LOVE to live a quite, simple country/Amish lifestyle, I’d miss my laptop, internet, phone and sports WAY too much.
12. I love Japanese Kawaii things.  I buy stickers/notepads/etc from Japan and Hong Kong all the time.
13. My favorite part of my new house is my fireplace … and my craft room!
14. I LOVE TO SLEEP!  But I love morning sunrises and evening sunsets … so it’s a constant battle!
15. I truly believe a chocolate milkshake can cure ANYTHING.

I’d love to see your 30 day challenge … you should do it! :)

Have a great week everyone … I’ll check back in a day or two with (hopefully!!!!) pictures of Kamoku’s little girlfriend!
