Ok so what is this giveaway for... well I have been blogging for some time now and recently branched out into the stitching communities... as I love to stitch!

And well I guess its a kind of Thank You for all your support and kindness along the way... now if I could give each of you a gift I surely would... 

I wanted to make someone happy....to make them smile so I put a box of happiness and gifts together.  I will post a photo... not everything is seen in the photo!! Well I have to keep some things a surprise!!

There are a few rules (boring) before you can enter...

2. Do not post as anonymous (your entry will not be counted)
3. Feel free to share this post.. more the merrier!
4. Answer the question (see below)
5. Smile and keep your fingers crossed.

They are the rules... not too difficult.



Oh yes my giveaway is open to everyone regardless of where you live :)  Spreading the happiness!

The closing date will be 30 th May 2014 and I will draw the winner on the last day of May.. 31 st May 2014.

Ok so the question.....

As you all know I am rather a happy soul and my question to you would be....

If you could have anything... I mean anything.. just one thing... what would it be???

  6. I can't think of any huge major thing that I would wish for to improve my happiness, I'm a reasonably content kind of person, I tend to work more on very trivial small short term wishes, like right now I would really love a frothy coffee ;D

    Happy days.

  12. Been catching up on your last few posts ~ you certainly have been busy! Can I be tricky and say that my one thing would be peace of mind ~ that would encompass taking care of those things that cause my anxiety and stress!

  21. Hi Jacquie! What an amazing giveaway from a very generous soul !

    I wish that everyone in the world could cross stitch at least an hour each week and this would give them relaxation and time to reflect - leading to world peace and equality of course :-)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hello Jacquie - How exciting!! Your give away looks amazing!! My friend Beth & I went to Celebration of Needlework in New Hampshire this weekend. You would have loved it, they had all types of stitching classes and vendors and designers there and a nice dinner to raise money for breast cancer. It was great to be around so many nice people who have the same interest!! I wish there was a cure for cancer, then my Mother would be here to see how amazing my son is. XO

  35. Thank you for a lovely giveaway. I would love to have a sewing room which would be light and sunny and comfortable, also with lots of room to keep everything so it is tidy and easy to find. Right now I sew on our bed and everything is stashed in drawers and under the bed.

    ReplyDelete
  36. This is so hard! Do people want a short term reward or something that completes their lives? I think I'd wish for patience and tolerance to keep the folks happy for the next 20 years or so. Also where's your blogloving link? I think I'm becoming banner blind these days.

  42. Hi Jacquie - oh dear I have just realised that I am following your blog 'anonymously', don't know how that happened! So I'll be changing that!
    Anyway, what I would really want is to be able to show my Nan the things I make these days - she is the one who got me inspired when I was only a kid, but her influence is still with me - she died in 1993 not long before I got married.
    Thank you for an amazing giveaway!
