300th Post Give-Away

Today is the day. This is my 300th post, and since you have all been such angels, I have an angel for you. She is a prototype but she has the pants just charmed off me. Designed by Tone Finnanger, I bought this book of patterns and thought the angel was so cute! She stands 19" tall on her tippy toes and looks adorable hanging inside a wreath, sitting under a tabletop tree or standing on a table of Christmas cookies. I will include a stand with her and a small hanging loop on her back so you can do whatever you wish. I plan on making some of these for Chiristmas gifts!
She holds a wreath of ivy tied with a peppermint stripe ribbon and wears a dress of bright Christmas red:>) Just leave a comment on this post and Saturday I'll use a random number generator to pick a name. You have all made my day so many times and in so many ways...this angel symbolizes all of you! Thank you all for your visits and comments. I don't always find time to reply, between working, houshold duties and sewing for my etsy shop, well sometimes real life sucks up a lot of time! I just want you to know that I appreciate every single comment and visit. So leave a comment. Now is a great time to de-lurk:>) And if you don't have a blog, please, check back in case you win so I can get your info. You are all angels to me:>)

Oh Kathy, I can't believe this!!! She is absolutely gorgeous. I recently purchased a book which is called Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle. I fell madly in love with this book which was originally printed in Norway. Kathy she is in the book, and as I admired her, I so wish I could sew. Every day as I create gifts for Christmas, and a few things for Etsy I open up the book and admire all the eye candy and begin my work. Seeing her here, makes me know what a kindred spirit you really are! Congratulations on your 300th post. I am your biggest FAN.
