Let's Have A Giveaway

Hello Everyone, Hoping you're having a great Monday.  Wow, this weekend officially starts the beginning of Summer activities.  Pools open, most schools around our neck of the woods will be out for the summer and time will continure to pass by so quickly. So before I get  caught up in the hustle and bustle of summer lets do my very first giveaway.  I am so excited to have exceeded the goal I set for myself and have more followers than I thought ever possible.

I had quite a few people guess what the giveaway would be as I showed the work in progress.  Sorry folks you were all wrong.  This is what one lucky person will recieve.

This is a replica of an old pony express mail pouch, with 2 letters and a grungy candle made from felt.  These items were made by me and will come to you from a smoke free home.  The mail pouch will hang if you so choose.  It was made from a Dee Duncan pattern. This will be great displayed with your patriotic items or could be displayed daily in your colonial home near an old desk.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you.

Now on to the rules.  Really simple since this is my first giveaway.  You must be a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post only. New followers are welcome to participate.  Please  make sure I can link back to your blog or leave your e-mail address so that I can contact you if you are the lucky winner.  Easy enough, huh?

So come one and come all and lets get this giveaway started.  You have from now until Saturday night May 28, 2011 to enter.  I will post the winner on Sunday evening May 29,2011. Good luck!

Until we meet again, stay safe and share a smile.
