Our Winner for the Tina Givens & Lark Crafts Giveaway...

First I have to apologize - I had posted that my name drawing would be held at Noon today, but I forgot that my son had a doctor's appointment at the same time! I did give one more nudge on Facebook for posting comments on the blog, but I only had on more post and it was done before noon. So everything is still fair and square even though I am running the Random List tool a bit late.

I had 32 comments over the past week for this drawing, but 2 were duplicates, so there are 30 names in the List and they are being listed in the Random List generator first to last in the order the comments were made - as shown here:

Lee
patricia
Trisha
Calandra
rosemaryschild
Cole's Corner
Weatherbee ;)
Kristin PG

Our Busy Little Bunch
Me
Goosegirl
Teresa
Rachel
JoonToons
Deb
sy
Nalie
Tanya-Yanata
empirewaist
Jknits
Melanie

Wehaf

As you can see from the time stamp of this post, I am posting this portion first - and next I'll run the Randomizer and post the results... whichever name comes up first on the randomized list is our winner!
BEST OF LUCK!

We Have Two Winners in Our Pattern Giveaway!

First thank you all for your comments and for telling us why you'd love to win the Amy Butler Midwest Mode Pillows pattern in my Valentine's Day giveaway!

I had 11 comments. For the first prize winner, I read all the comments to my daughter first, then my son and then to my husband Steve, each heard the comments and voted seperately from the other and it was unanimous, each picked Patricia as they all thought it sounded like a great way to to help her cheer up the living room/hospital room for her DH. 

So Patricia of Patricia Rose (Potpourri) is our first winner! Congrats Pat! I know you'll enjoy making new cheerful pillows for your living room and I hope they do cheer up your DH!

This means that Andrea is our second winner of the Amy Butler Pattern! Thanks so much to all of you for entering our giveaway and for your compelling comments. I wish I had enough patterns to give everyone a free one. I can't do that, but I will offer each of you who commented and didn't win a 20% discount on any pattern order and you will still receive free shipping (patterns only). You will need to email me and let me know you want to take the 20% discount on your pattern order and that you are one of the commenters on this months' giveaway and I will refund the discount after your order through PayPal! Thanks and have a beautiful Valentine's Day!

February Pattern Giveaway

Last time I did an Amy Butler pattern giveaway everyone loved it, so I thought I'd make it a monthly event here at Mama's Pocketbook! You like? Sweet... So, here's what 'cha do ... Post a comment and tell me why you should win this month's pattern! 

Ok, this month I think we all need some warmth and sunshine and are looking forward to spucing up our homes for Spring! Well, I have just the thing. Amy Butler's Midwest Mod Pillows is our giveaway pattern for February!

Three styles of pillows and they are so stylishly delicious! This is an easy, and affordable way to add some new color and update your rooms. Click here to see more about the pattern on my site!

Seriously have you priced pillows in the home furnishing stores - I don't think I can justify hundreds of dollars for pillows when it's so easy to make new ones! Or just add a zipper or a flap opening to the back of any of these pillows and cover your old ones! Hmmm, maybe that should be my next tutorial huh? Ok, I'll work on that and you tell me what you think of this pattern and why YOU should win it. 

Yep, I'm gonna make you work for this giveaway. I want to know something about how you'll use the pattern. Will you cover your existing pillows? Do you want the pattern for a friend? How about which room you'll make pillows for and what fabrics you'll use? Share with us all, lets get inspired to freshen up our living spaces. It's been cold too long, lets dust things off, and make some pretty pillows. Ahhh, I love accessorizing! Don't you?

Oh, I forgot about when to give it away! LOL! Silly me! Ok, how about Valentine's Day, that gives everyone a week to get their posts in to convince me of who should get the pattern. I'll make it fair by having my daughter and my husband read the comments and help pick the winner!  If we can't agree, maybe we'll even pick two winners. You just never know with me. I like to make the rules up as I go along!

Added 2/6  Wow... I am loving the comments, everyone's reasons for wanting this pattern are so compelling... I think what I'll do is have my family help me decide on one winner based on the comments explaining why they would love to win and have a drawing from the rest of the comments to make it fair to everyone to have a chance at winning. Sound good? Keep those comments coming then and you'll have two chances to win! XOXO Dianne
