Take your sewing anywhere ^.^ (GIVEAWAY)

Sorry the giveaway is over!

A few months ago (around the end of Feb 2011) I decided to start giving my blog some serious attention. And since then its been nice to see that you have too. Over the last few months it has totally amazed me as I looked at my stats and saw that  thousands of you have been stopping by to take a look at what I have been doing or blogging about.  THANK YOU for brightening my days:) 

So as a token of my appreciation I have made a felt sewing kit to give away. Its great to have for those of us that travel or attend sewing groups/classes. Or if someone has just started sewing and you want to get them something to start them off.
Here it is:

And the inside: 
It helps you keep and organize your ribbons/thread/buttons/scissors/fabric marker/measuring tape/ruler/pins and such.


So in the giveaway you can get: the felt kit (of course;), two wooden embroidery thread holders, scissors, a small ruler (not the one in the pic, that is my husbands old work ruler, you can have a new one), fabric marker, and a small retractable measuring tape that has inches and cm.

Here's what you have to do to enter:
Pop on over and say hi in the comments box. 

That is all. 

This giveaway is not a way for me to get new followers - (although I might try that someday:) Its just to say thank you. THANK YOU. 


Things to remember:
You can only enter once.
Please make sure that you leave an e-mail (if you are not a follower/its not in your info) so that I can get hold of you - I won't spam you, I will only e-mail you if you have won.
You can type it like this: 
inspired(dot)gabi(at)gmail(dot)com

Anyone can enter from any country. If you can receive mail you can enter :)

The giveaway ends on Monday July 25th at 12pm (Colorado time - just because my brother lives there and to avoid confusion with all the different time zones) 
If I announce a winner and I don't have your e-mail I will give you 3 days to contact me - then I will have to redo the draw:)
(It will be a random draw )


And 
thanks again for stopping by.
^.^

    It's sweet of you to share this kit! If I won, I'd be tucking it into my niece's Christmas stocking...I'm always on the lookout for really clever handmade items for that.

    Thanks for the chance to enter.

    ADORABLE! This is way too cute and way too handy. I'm always throwing my sewing supplies in a little baggie last minute and it's just not cute. And I've lost many an object that way.
    Thank you.

    Hello Gabi! This sewing kit is absolutely adorable! I hope that I am not too late to qualify for the drawing. I have always loved sewing all my life and dreamed that one day I would own a sewing machine, I am now almost 27. Everything I made I had to do by hand. My friends and family all decided to help me so I now have five machines which only three work and one is very very old. It of course still works but I only display it because I think it is so beautiful and want to keep it in working condition. Hope that I win this kit because their is a lot of tools that I need that are in this wonderful kit. It definitely has sparked my
    imagination!
