Monday Giveaways!

Here is a very short list of the giveaways I managed to find over the weekend. I think I'll really need the help of my readers to make this the awesome feature that I would love it to be. So, if you are hosting a swap or a giveaway please email me with your info and I'll include it in next Mondays round up.

Hope you win!!


Oh Fransson! - 50 charm squares

House Wren Studio - Felt Mouse

Heather Hale Designs - Vintage Trim Box

Weekly Round Ups!

So I had this little idea of each week doing a little round up of bloggers who are doing giveaways on their blogs or hosting swaps. I always wonder who is doing all the fun stuff but don't always have the time to search out for it. So, in the future if you are hosting a swap or a giveaway on your blog shoot me an email (handmade_parade@yahoo.com) with a link to your site and I'll add it to my weekly list. I'm going to do it every Monday. You know, to start your week with something fun!

So, If you know of a giveaway or a swap, shoot me an email with a link to the blog entry and on Monday I'll post the round up. I expect it will be a bit slow going at first, but hopefully it will grow into a fun feature you all will really love!

And the winner is...............!

The Lunchbox and Placemat Set by Elizabeth of Oh, Fransson! How stinkin' cute is that? She has even made several which are hopefully going to be in her Etsy shop soon. She must have known she had a hit on her hands - we sure did! Speaking of "We", thanks so much to all our judges! Jessie, Jen, Becki, Missy, and Kristen (I can't tell you how flattered I am that Kristen took the time to judge-with a brand spanking new baby to boot!). Thanks again, girls, really! And Congrats to Elizabeth!

Now Elizabeth, email me with your particulars and your $50 gift certificate will be in your hot little hands soon!

Updated: There will be a flickr group devoted to all this wonderful pillowcase talent! Check it out!

Wednesday will be the big day!

Or evening rather. Check back here on Wednesday evening 7 pm West Coast Time to see who our winner of the Pillowcase Challenge is. We had so many fantastic entires that is will be very hard to decide! Thank goodness I have a great team of judges to help me out.

Sorry to have kept you waiting on the outcome. I have been a bit slower at everything these days because of my pregnancy. I am not very far along (13 weeks) but running around after my four year old and two year old is leaving me ragged!

See you Wednesday!
