Christmas - 200th Post Celebration Giveaway

This is a busy time of year for everyone what with preparations for Christmas at home or work or school or all of the above. Family get-togethers and special events fill the calendar. In our little family, all five of our birthdays fall between the end of September and the end of January. Our wedding anniversary is exactly a week before Christmas. And of course there are the big occasions to prepare for and celebrate in that same timeframe - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years.

Since I started Hooked On Needles to share my love of all things hook and needle related, I have had to plan ahead a little more than usual. So looking ahead on the calendar, I see not only Christmas coming up fast, but also my 200th post which is scheduled to fall the day after our 26th wedding anniversary. I'd say that's a good reason to celebrate with a giveaway, wouldn't you?

I decided to time this giveaway so that the winner will be announced in my 200th post and hopefully the prize package will be received before all the Christmas spirit has been exhausted.

Here's what I have made for you...

It's a crocheted angel Christmas ornament, complete with poofy wings, a halo and a pretty white bow around the middle. This is made with white crochet cotton and an old fashioned clothes pin. You may remember seeing this angel once before when I sent two away as my Christmas ornament swap gift to Nicole in Utah.


Along with the little crocheted angel, I have put together some other Christmas goodies for the winner which you can seen in the picture. There are some metal gift tags that say "HoHoHo", "Christmas", and "Angel". There is a nice little cut of Christmas fabric, some Christmas color DMC embroidery floss, a roll of Merry Christmas ribbon, a package of 3 dimensional Christmas gift tags, a Mary Engelbreit magnet, and a package of Christmas notecards. In this picture, you can also see some beaded ornaments which I made hanging on the little tree. I might even include a few of those to sparkle up your tree.

So what do YOU have to do to help celebrate Christmas with Hooked On Needles and my 200th post? I know how busy you are right now, so I won't ask too much. Just leave a comment on this post before our 26th wedding anniversary. I've already mentioned when that is. I would love to hear how you met your spouse. I'll tell you how I met mine - ready for this? I met my husband in the ladies room at work. There, I said it. If you are not married, then I would love to hear how you celebrated your first Christmas living away from your childhood home. If you are still living in your childhood home, then how about sharing your most special Christmas memory? See, that's not asking too much, is it?

Make sure you leave your email address in your comment if you post anonymously or if your email is set to no-reply. If I can't email you, I will have to disregard your comment.

Now I have to start thinking about what to make for the Whirl Into Winter Giveaway which will begin on January 1st. That cute little snowflake on my sidebar will guide you to information about this fun post-Christmas event which is being hosted by the same wonderful and generous lady who hosted the Fall Into Fall Giveaway a few months back.

I am still looking for one more sporting person to join my Pay It Forward exchange. If you are interested, just click the button on my sidebar to read all about it.
