While doing a little tidy up in my work room during the weekend I realized I just have a LOT of craft supplies! LOL! (One of those moments, you know, when you take stock and just have to laugh at yourself... Ever had moments like that? Well, I laugh at myself all the time!) So I thought I would share a little of the abundance with a different kind of giveaway...a STASH-TACULAR GIVEAWAY! I have four gift parcels to give away, each parcel containing some lovely crafting supplies taken from my stash. Supplies that maybe you will find to make a nice addition to your own stash and creativity!
If you see something here that takes your fancy and you would like to take a chance on winning a parcel, please leave a comment here on this post. If you like one parcel in particular, let me know which one. And if you like the look of all the items here and want to put your name down to win on each of the parcels, that's OK too! Don't be shy ;o) I'll let comments open for this giveaway go for one week, and I'll announce the winners next weekend, next Sunday. Let's take a look at the treats then!
Stash Parcel #1: Red Fat Quarter Set. This is a pretty set of seven fat quarters I put together from pieces of fabric from my stash. These lovely shades of red in a prints and solid mix would be ideal for autumn and Christmas holiday crafting.
Stash Parcel #2: Blue Glass Beads Medley. I handpicked this sweet mix of glass beads... lots of different shapes, sizes, textures, and variety of shades of blue. For an idea of how many beads/quantity--there's about half a cup of beads gathered here. Great for jewelry making, embellishing sewing or quilting projects, etc. Beads will arrive in this fabric gift bag I made.
Stash Parcel #3: Two 50 g skeins of Smart by SandnesGarn a yarn ideal for knitting. 100% new wool in this luscious violet color. (Use 3.5 mm needles/4 US needles.) This yarn knits up to make nice cold-weather clothing/accessories, also good for clothing and toys for children.
Stash Parcel #4: Merry Mix of Trims. A bag full of trims in happy shades of pink, turquoise and white! Lots of variety--ribbons, laces, rickrack, ball fringe (measuring about 1 yard/just under one meter per length)...even some buttons. Many possibilities here--trims for sewing & quilting projects, doll-making, cards & paper crafts, etc. (Sorry muffin-baking tin not included--for display purposes only ;o)
I look forward to sending these off to four happy winners soon...It's Stash-tacular!
The past weekend was a bit busy here and this coming week will be too. I may be a bit scarce turning up here and around blogland this week... I have two special orders to create and send; two swaps to make goodies for and send; we've started the big autumn clean-up in the garden and have much to do to finish this, preparing it for its winter rest; also need to do a bit of a clean-up around the house in general (you know those corners that don't get attention every single week.)... Plus, our digital camera is not working properly (oh, no!!), we may be camera shopping! So I will be around when I can and catch up with you all soon! Have a great week, my friends! :o)
Ooooh! I love the stash-tacular giveaway idea. I don't think I have the nerve to do it for myself, especially when I'm trying to win some of your stash. I love parcels #1 and #3. I could only be so lucky.
I subscribe to your feed and this post brought me out of lurkdom. I enjoy reading your posts.

Wow, you have a lot on your plate at the moment. I hope the camera starts working properly again, and everything goes smoothly for you.
Could I put my hand up to go into the fabric draw ? What a wonderful giveaway!

What a relief to hear that Charlie is alright. He's an adventurous boy huh? Mmm...
can I have some of the apples instead? :-) No. 4 is my pick. Have a fulfilling week ahead and oh no those many forgotten corners around the house!

Hi Tracy, it looks like I'm not the only ones that's busy. ;-) Now that you mention it, I have to do a bit of inside cleaning too.
I love this darling give-aways of yours. You are so generous. I like the first and last one best (think miniature making for my dollhouses).
Have a great, if busy, week!
((HUGS))

What an incredibly generous idea! I would love to be entered for any of the four - I can certainly think of ideas for all of them!
Oh, and Tracy - how wonderful it would be to come to look around your craft room sometime; if that's what you have as extras it must be a magical place!

Oooooo, I'd love to be entered into #4 for the ribbons and trims. They're tooo cute!
Hugz,

What an incredibly generous giveaway! I am quite overwhelmed!! So much gorgeousness in one hit. I would love to be entered for the fabric, trims and yarn. Thank you so much for being prepared to share in this way. You have a lovely heart and I hope that the camera rights itself or you are able to find another one very easily.
love Sheila

You are an angel Tracy.
I can't get the blue beads out of my head.....
Posted by: Britt-Arnhild | September 29, 2008 at 09:08 PM
Hi Tracy! I have to catch up with you. I missed two of your posts now I see. I would like to enter for stash #2 and 4 since I am on a fabric diet this year and these can be used for my fobbing and trimming my quilts and pinkeeps. I do love stash #1 though. They are very much my colors. Oh my! Maybe I should be a good girl and not enter since I too have so much stash. :)
Hugs ~

Hi Tracy. It is so nice of you to offer so much from your stash! It looks like you have covered so many different crafting themes. I'd like to put my name in for #1 as well. I love the reds.
I'm sorry you are having camera trouble. That's no fun. I'd have trouble breathing without my camera LOL!
You sound like you are going to be pretty busy. I hope you get all of your projects done.
take care,
Dawn
