Exchanges, Gift and Giveaway...

I have been trying to keep up to date with all the blogs and my own, but sometimes life just gets in the way.  Firstly, I was part of Stitched with Love Exchanges Winter Exchange.  Here is a photograph of the package I sent to my partner Heather.
Can you guess what Heather's favourite colour is?

I received a lovely package from Jessica in Indiana.  It was jammed packed full of goodies and a beautiful flat fold of a lovely winter scene.
Not only was there lots of goodies from Jessica, but some lovely Indiana stitchers that I had met in Myrtle Beach in October sent gifts to me.  So I was doubly gifted one package two gifts.  I was really touched by their kindness and generosity, thank you Greta, Nancy and Dianna.
I have been stitching, but again can't show it all as some of my finishes have been for exchanges.  But I can give a quick up date on my Scarlet Letter sampler, Janet Burnet, I have completed the first page I am enjoying stitching her but she is away for a while to allow me to work on some exchange stitching.
To finish this post I am going to have a GIVEAWAY.  Like Nicola this is my Scarlet Letter Year and to celebrate my birthday I thought I would host a giveaway here.  Included will be an item stitched by me, threads, linen, needles, trims and some other goodies.  To enter all you have to do is leave a post here, if you  post it on your blog and pass it along to your friends I will give you 5 extra chances of winning.  GOOD LUCK everyone.  I will do the drawing on the 18th April.

    I just found your blog from Nicola's SL blog. The gift you made for your exchange partner is really sweet and what a treat from all you Indiana friends! I love the progress you've made on your SL sampler! The colors are just wonderful!

    This is not an entry in your give away ( I live at the uttermost ends of the earth and postage would cost a small fortune!) but I want to wish you a Happy Birthday Year and to say how much I enjoy your blog.

    Great exchanges! Your Scarlett sampler has bold and beautiful colors. Looks like it would be fun to stitch. Your Scarlett year, too? Not so rough after you get past the thought of it... Just another year of wonderful stitching! Have a happy week.
