It's Sweepstakes Time!!!! 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes starts......

Tomorrow!!! Don't forget to come back and click the link I will post tomorrow morning and enter to win the first day's prize of a $300 Shopping Spree!!!

                                                                   

That's right, just come back everyday and click the link I will post. There is a different giveaway every day in the month of August. The prizes include shopping sprees, electronics, appliances, cookware, baby items, even a laptop and a gazebo!!! And Much Much More!!! Wow! I wish I were eligible to win some of these myself. I would love the gazebo for my patio, the Apple iPad mini, or maybe the cookware since mine is about twenty years old! My husband would go crazy for the Xbox One or the PS4. (of course so would I) All the prizes are great and would be welcome!

Anyway, that's just a few of the things that are being given away the month during the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes. What you need to do is come here every day and click the link I will post. That will take you to the sweepstakes. You must be a fan of Purex on Facebook to be eligible to win any of the prizes from the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes (I just enjoy saying that, don't you?). Every day will have a new prize to win. I will let you know here what it is in the post and give you the link to click. Also at the end of this post is a nifty calendar letting you know what day has what prizes.

 If you share my link and the sweepstakes on facebook or twitter or other social media, then you can come back here and comment, letting me know you shared my link and with how many people, and then you will be eligible to win a $10 Amazon gift card. For every day that you share my link and comment on my blog that you did so, you will get 1 entry. So if you do so every day you will get 31 entries!  At the end of the sweepstakes I will assign the comments from all 31 days an individual number and use a random number generator to draw the winner so that it will be fair. I will post on my blog the name of the winner on September 1st. As is obvious, your chances of winning the gift card are totally up to how many people share and then comment on my blog posts everyday.

Any questions? Are you excited? You should be! Not only will you get chances to win $10,000 worth of prizes, you'll also be entering to win the gift card, and making me smile everyday by seeing all of you commenting and entering and, well, just doing what I love doing. Which is trying to win amazing prizes!!!

OK I will tone down the excitement level for a moment. If there are any questions, or problems commenting on my posts, please feel free to email me, message me, plurk me, or however you know to get hold of me. If you do not have my email address it is ahume08   (at)  yahoo (dot) com

I am sure you all understand the reason I typed that out weird. Don't want my email to fall into a spam bot hand :)

Now get ready to get out there and win some truly awesome prizes! Remember to check back here every morning for the new post. I will probably be posting it a little after midnight central time every morning just so you know.

Thanks for reading, entering and commenting. I look forward to seeing who wins the gift card on here! Good luck to everyone that enters the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes!!! Yep that still makes me smile.

Some freebies for MyMemorySuite

Its been awhile since I posted any. Here are some adorable hearts you can make. Enjoy!

Who knits a blanket? I do!

Not a whole lot to report. I finished a cowl for my aunt. She sent me a pattern and asked me if I could knit it for her. I am not pleased with the end result at all. It was all mitered squares which I guess is a lot like entrelac. It used four colors for the squares. Every square I had to pick up stitches and apparently I don't do it right because it looks weird where I did. But it's done and I'll send it off to her and hope she likes it ok.

Wow it's been a long time!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I have posted. Not much has happened really. We moved to Texas, I found a job, I quit a job, now I'm staying at hone as usual. I garden, knit, cross stitch, read, and watch Netflix a lot.

Gardening here has been a challenge for me. The soil is a mixture of clay and sand. I'm starting to get some peppers growing but my tomatoes haven't even tried to bloom, much less grow actual tomatoes. Other people are already getting big fat green maters around here! My plants are still really small. I know the upper ninety degree weather isn't helping any. As for my indoor herb growing, I'm doing just as bad at that as I did back home in Indiana! They start to grow, get a few inches tall and stay real spindly, then fall over dead. I've tried watering more, watering less, more sun, less sun..... I just have no idea what I'm doing wrong!

As for my knitting, I've been working on several things. I've made some shawls, hats for Christmas last year, a baby blanket, and am currently (as in today and yesterday) working on a mitered square cowl and also a full sized bed spread/afghan thing. The cowl has me tense. I always wanted to try entrelac. Now I'm wondering why I ever wanted to. It's just not looking real pretty right now and oh my gosh the ends! There are so many dangling bits I'm going to have to weave in! Sigh!

Well I think I'll leave it there for now. I want to start posting at least once a month again, if not more often. I miss our weekly chats though. I'd post, you all would comment or email, I'd respond, I'd feel like I actually had friends! It's a pain to post from my phone though. My hubby ( still feels weird saying that sometimes even though our first anniversary is next month) is buying me an iPad soon, so maybe that'll help. Bigger screen and all that.

So goodby for now my ever faithful tanglers. Happy Crafting!

No wedding gifts?

And here I thought I would get wedding gifts from my ravelry friends! I didn't get even one pattern.

I'm so selfish lol.

I'm really not whining. It's more like passive aggressive hinting around to my friends that know me as anonymous76 on ravelry ;-) I have a wishlist on there.

So as you can tell I Am MARRIED now! I still can't get used to the idea that my last name is now Price! How crazy is that! Also, in just one short week, I will be living in Texas instead of Indiana. What a huge change for me and the kiddos. We are super excited. Maybe there will be new knitting friends for me there! I wonder what kind of job I'll find. That is going to be a big change for me as well. I haven't worked steadily in years.

So my life is changing quickly and I haven't had time to sit down and really knit on anything. I hope that I will find the energy once we are done with the move to pick up some needles and lose myself in a wonderful pattern. I have a few things that I am wanting to cast on. I also would like to get back into my cross stitching. I have so many stitchy UFOs laying around and really need to finish them.

Well that is about it for now. Busy busy busy you know! Until next time my loyal tanglers ... Happy Crafting!!

Freebies and a wedding date

The date is set! It's changed multiple times and it is finally set in stone lol. This Thursday! Woohoo I am getting married! Then if all goes well we will be on our way moving to Texas on the fifteenth. My daughter's biodad signed the paper today so that Bobby can adopt her. Things are finally going forward in our lives. We've felt stuck lately. Not anymore :-) now if only my son's biodad would be so kind, but nope. I guess one is better than none. You'd think that if his almost seventeen year old son tells him straight out that this is what he wants, then he would at least consider it. It's going to happen either way, but it woulda been easier on everyone involved to have the paper signed peacefully. Sigh can't win them all without a little effort I guess.

Anyway on to the freebies! Some more MyMemories freebies here. Just copy and paste the link as usual.

Happy crafting everyone!!!

A wedding, a move, a new start

I am so excited. In the month of July I will get married, move from Indiana to Texas, and start a new life with my new husband and our kiddos in a new house in a new town in another state! How awesome is that?!?! We can't wait to get started. Now I just got to get through packing and deciding what to take with us. I look forward to seeing if there are any yarn stores near where I'm moving. Maybe there will be a local knitting group! I apologize for such sporadic updates lately. Bobby was in the hospital for a week and now we have all this happening so quickly! It has been almost way too overwhelming. I've hardly done any knitting these last few weeks. I am almost done with my Uhura and that's all I've been working on. My garden is going good, but I'm sad that I'll be moving before any of the tomatoes ripen. Sigh.

Well that's about all I've got to tell! Until next time my faithful tanglers.....

Happy Crafting!

Wedding jitters

Not a lot to report. Bobby was in the hospital for a week so I didn't accomplish much. I've been knitting on my Uhura Shawlette and that's about it. My garden is growing pretty good. I have lots of green maters out there! I also have a zucchini plant blooming and three squash plants growing. One hot wax pepper plant is trying to grow but I'm not sure it will produce much.

The biggest news is that we are leaving in about two hours to go get our wedding bands and marriage certificate. We are getting married this week! For some reason I'm nervous. I have no idea why. I've been waiting for this for a while now. We have been together for six years and have no doubts about getting married and staying together forever. Yet I have butterflies in my stomach and couldn't sleep last night. Wish me luck!

Well that's about it for now. I will try to do a better update soon with pictures.

Until then... Happy Crafting!
