It's another GIVEAWAY DAY, people!!! :)
I had actually never heard of this before (for shame!) but now that I've found out about this giveaway who-ha, I'm super excited! Every year Sew, Mama, Sew! hosts a giveaway day where bloggers are encouraged to have handmade giveaways on their blog. FUN! I'm joining in this year and am giving away a cute little drawstring bag.
I made this bag using Jeni's tutorial (it's so fun and simple to follow!) and Oliver & S' Cape Ann fabric in periwinkle. I am planning on making a lot of these bags this year to use as wrapping for Christmas gifts so it'll be like to gifts in one! Anywho, one lucky winner will win this cute bag which I'll fill with other bits of crafty goodness including some designer fat quarters and fun notions. :)
If you'd like to enter to win, you have two opportunities to do so!
- Leave me a comment in German. Just kidding. Leave a comment in Italian. Ok fine... just leave me a comment in whatever language you would like to. Even English. :)
- "Like" {me and elna} on Facebook and then leave a second coment here saying that you did! If you already like me (you really like me!), just leave a comment saying that.
Comments will close at 5:00pm PST, this Friday, December 7th and I'll draw a winner that night. Make sure to leave your email address in your comment/s so I can make sure to get ahold of you this weekend; I'll announce the winner here on Monday morning!
Also, be sure to stop by Sew, Mama, Sew!'s list of all of the yummy giveaways going on this week... there are such great handmade gifts out there waiting for a new home... head over and start commenting, yo! :)
I like you on FB lady!

Sorry you will just have to settle for boring old english because that is all that I know. Don't tell my spanish teachers ;) Love the bag and the fabric choices, it would make a great sock knitting bag.
ReplyDeleteI like you I really like you! Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteYou will have to live with English because that is the only language I know, besides a little Chinese but I'm not even going to attempt to leave a comment in Chinese. Love the tote and i am excited to see what you put inside. eatkin85(at)yahoo(dot)com

ReplyDeleteAs children in Austria my brother and sister would jump off couches, flapping their arms saying, "Fliege, fliege!" Then from one of my favorite movies of all time A Room With a View, "Andiamo!"
ReplyDeleteAhahhaa, just read imaginegnats-following with a ladder after dark?! Do people do that to you? I'll just follow you on FB and GFC if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI wish I hadn't used up my piece of this fabric, I miss it! (and thus need this bag...)

I'm afraid you won't get any fancy language skills from me, but it's nice of you to do the giveaway ;)
ReplyDeleteMy Spanish skills are very lacking these days! My sister actually translates my Spanish into Spanish so that people can understand what I am trying to say. But I love your bag and the idea of wrapping presents in them. I may do that too!

ReplyDeleteTres belle!
ReplyDeleteUm, my comment is in Australian (although I am fluent in gibberish) LOL. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy Comment is in Australian. I would say G'day which fits the steryotype but we don't actually say that. Love the idea of using these bags as gift wrapping. We use reusable simple christmas fabric sacks with draw strings but that is even nicer.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag pattern! And I love the fabric you chose.. so cute!
ReplyDeleteLacking in other language skills.. sorry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Cute bag!
ReplyDeleteLiked on facebook. :(
ReplyDeleteI can only count in German and unfortunately I only know how to swear in the other languages I know. Pretty sad huh?
ReplyDeleteMy comment is... My 14 year old daughter is driving me up the wall. Sigh. Sorry just had to get that out. Now I feel better.
