Welcome, Fall!

Hello everyone. I hope you had a great weekend. Busy doesn't even begin to describe mine. Sometimes I wish that I could just lock myself up in my sewing room and become a recluse for a day. No cooking, no dirty dishes to wash, no laundry to do, no grocery shopping, no house cleaning...the list goes on and on. As you've probably guessed, not much of anything craft or sewing related was accomplished this weekend.

Today is the beginning of Fall and that makes me very happy. I can hardly wait for cooler temperatures. I'm giddy with excitement at the thought of the approaching holiday season. There are only 93 days until Christmas, my friends!

Let's get on with the last day of the giveaway...

I don't think it would be an acceptable giveaway without something sweet to eat. Included will be a box of Hawaiian Host Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts and a can of Mauna Loa Glazed Macadamia Nuts.

These are two of my favorite things and it could be yours along with....

This woven heart ornament...


this quilted eyeglass case...


this set of 5 beaded strawberries...


this Violet Posie Handy Dandy Pincushion...


this pale yellow and mint green pin...


this 8-pocket travel jewelry tote...


these flower hairpins...


this ice cream cone ornament with beaded wire hanger...



this pretty Fall sunflower tissue holder...


and this Sunshine Posy handbag.


To be eligible for this giveaway, please share your favorite holiday cookie or dessert recipe along with the reason why it is special to you in my comment section under my post of September 3rd. The giveaway will end today when the clock strikes midnight, EST. A winner will be chosen by random number generator on Tuesday, September 23, 2008.

I hope you all have an awesome day.

Aloha!
