And now for my give away…….

I love snowmen and I hope you do to!   This little wall hanging or table topper (14” square) could be yours.
For two chances to win all you have to do is:

1) leave me a comment telling me about your favourite holiday cookie.  I recently surveyed my family to see what their favourite was and they all chose the same one.  (Figures it was the one I like to make the least!) They all had a different second favourite, so I guess I better get baking soon.

2) why don’t you become a follower?  I love hearing from fellow bloggers from all over the world, so be sure to tell me where you are from too. (leave a second comment telling me you are now a follower)

I look forward to hearing from you.   I also look forward to checking out all the other BLOG PARTY participants tomorrow.

I will announce the winner on December 17th. Good luck everyone
Until next time,
Happy Stitching,

Lee
p.s. if I hit 110 followers I will add a little something extra to the giveaway!!

    Hi Lee, I love your adorable Snowmen. I would definitely hang it up if I was lucky enough to win one. Thanks so much for a chance!!! My favorite Holiday cookie, well anytime cookie is one of the easiest there is to make. The good old, delicious 'No Bake' cookie with the cocoa, oatmeal, etc. We add peanut butter to ours also. My favorite cookie since I was a little girl and at 61 years old, that's saying something, LOL. Hugs...

    My favorite Christmas cookie is decorated sugar cookies-- I began making them with my three girls when they were small, and we had so much fun choosing which cookie cutters to use, what color icing and decorations... We'd always make a few extra special ones for Santa -- and we'd also leave a few for him to take back to Mrs. Claus... :-) Sweet memories! :-) Thank you for the adorable snowman topper-- I LOVE snowmen and have a quite a collection!!

    I like an Italian cookie that I make that has ricotta cheese. I also love snowmen! Thanks for the chance.

    Any cookie that has chocolate in it is a favorite.
