Candy Kisses and a Dozen Roses Giveaway!!!!


Okay, it's official. One the way back to the house today, I stopped and checked the mail and got the package I've been expecting. So, me and Katelyn came in and I said okay lets got do, I told her pick anything out you want Katelyn and remember this has to be something special, She looked and looked she couldn't reach any of the top shelves so I held her up and let her do a littler digging and had to set her back down because she was getting heavy. So, she was ruffling through all the bottom shelves, while I opened my package. I said oh Katelyn look what nanny got aren't these so pretty. And before I could ask her if she wanted me to make her something with them she said I pick theses, talking about the fabrics I just brought in the house. Oh boy I didn't even get a chance to play with them yet. Guess, I"ll just have to get me some more, I couldn't tell her no, after all I told her anything. I had put up the fabrics I knew I needed for certain projects so thought I was safe. No big deal, I thought this was a perfect choice after all it is nearly Valentines day. WOW, just what we all want for Valentines Day candy, roses and Fabric, not necessarily in that order. Better be glad it wasn't Blake doing the picking or you might have ended up with Ga. bulldawgs or cowboy and Indians. Now, I haven't given much thought on how to play, but thought I better make this easy because I just might not be able to keep up with all the extra name in the pot thing. So, if you have a blog or are a current member ( joined before today) of the HGTV forum board then you can join because I know that I'll be able to contact you. I'm sorry if their are others that might want to join but I don't open emails if I don't know who they are from. My apologies. So, just leave a comment and don't forget to thank Katelyn!! cause she'll be reading this. If you do not have a blog but are a member of the HGTV MB make sure to sign your comment with your HGTV name so I'll know who to contact.The deadline to enter will be Feb. 13th, I'll one of my grandchildren to draw the winning name. I'll get pics of the drawing so stop back by on Valentines day and see who wins. Oh forgot to say, I know your going to count the roses and you're right it is only 11 roses but I added another FQ of green to make up for the FQ I just couldn't live without. This giveaway is suppose to be for my 100th post giveaway, I'm just about 10 posts too early, but we all know i'll have 100 post by Valentines day. So good luck andthe main thing is just have fun. Guess you're wondering where the candy kisses are, it the name of the fabirc but i'll go out and get a bag of hersheys to add to it.

  2. Of course Katelyn would pick the pretty pinks & reds and hearts..what a little sweet heart she is! Poor Grandma, but Thanks for picking the beautiful fabric Katelyn!

    How cleaver to make a bouquet!

  3. I can't take credit for the bouquet idea, I've seen this done somewhere before and just remembered it. Yes pink is Katelyns favorite color. I do have a tendency to buy pinks, but I am running out of things to make for her. She has started making her first quilt. She's making it for her new cousin in KY. She done pretty good on the first squares, but got hers seams too far off on some of them for me to square up for the next step. So, i'm rip-iting for her to redo. She loves to sew. I get a video of how she goes about it. She's such a trooper.

  10. Hi EQ & Katelyn! LOVE the cowgirl skirt and the orange polka dots. What a super idea for holey pants! Do you have cowgirl boots to wear with them? I love the fabrics you chose for the bouquet, they're very rose-like. Have a wonderful day and Happy Valentine's Day!

  21. Donna, that was a great idea, making them into a bouquet! Katelyn, you did perfect on your pickings! Tell grandma, she should have hid the pink ones, if she was hoping to hold onto them.
