A Lovely Giveaway!

I have very giving {loving} friends.  Seriously. 

After you check out all the sweet things they have given me over the last month or so {mostly "just becuase"!}, read on to see how YOU can share in all this love by entering to win some Upcycled Goods by Aisle 3!

Why a giveaway?

Let me count the ways...

1.  Last week I had a milestone birthday!

2.  Last week was when the number of Views on my blog tipped over 15,000!  And...

3. Last week the number of Fans on my Facebook page climbed over 400.

That gives me approximately 15, 440 reasons to have a giveaway!


Here are all my new favorite things:

My birthday present from Crystal...an upcycled John Denver Album Cover Notebook and Record Bowl


From Michelle...this awesome magazine FILLED with patterns.  And...check out these little felted keychain whatnots!


From Jeremy...this vintage wooden strawberry placque

From Kevin...some of my favorite movies.


Also from Kevin...probably the sweetest gift I've ever gotten


From Heather (from Bettula) and Michelle...gorgeous fabrics!



From Michelle {she loves me :)}...a quirky coffee mug for my collection.  Have you ever seen my mug collection?



From Heather {from Rezip It!}...a BRAND NEW IN THE BOX SEWING MACHINE.  What?!? 



I mean, come on.  I have the greatest friends, right?  I love you all, thank you.  It's the little {and big!} things like this that keep me going and remind me who and where I am.  That reminds me of a lyric that stuck with me today...."It's not where I am, it's you I'm with."

  3. I think the best present I ever got was from my friend's sister-in-law. She gave me 4 jars of homemade whole wheat pancake mix and a jar of homemade apple butter. She knows how much I enjoy homemade things, so it was perfect!

  4. Hmmm.... The best present ever? That's SO HARD TO ANSWER.

    My grandma knitted me a little purple scarf when I was a kid. I loved that thing. It was the first "just because" present I ever received. She also knitted me a crazy vest with googley eyed owls, and an American flag sweater. I wore the flag sweater to kindergarten once and was shamed into never wearing it again.

    Sorry Wilma. Kids be vicious.

  6. My best gift was from my son last year - it was a framed signed photo of one my favourite actors and the message was personally addressed to me and a bit cheekly, apparently the actor had to have it explained to him that I have a wild sense of humour and don't offend easily, I love my son!

  7. The best birthday present I ever got was a pack of cheesy horror movies (which I love!) and a trip to Eribus haunted house (my birthday is in October) with some friends. It was a blast :)

    Oh, and I follow you on Facebook and you're on of my fav. pages on Etsy :)

  9. The most favorite gift I have ever received has got to be my Grandmother's old jewelry box. It's a yellow, vintage contraption with three trays and when you pull it open the trays thrust their treasurers forward. It's filled with her old jewlery, bobbles and pins. My favorite part is that both of us never had our ears pierces so there are lots of old clip on earrings for me to delight in.
    Now that she is gone it means even more.
