GIVE-AWAY Announcement!

I’ve wanted to do a give-away for a while now; probably for about a year the more I think about it!  Last spring I put a reminder on my calendar to do something on my “Blog-a-versary” in August, but it came and went without the time for me to be really serious and do something special.  Now, I could wait until this August and do something BIG for my 5-year Blogging Anniversary, but I don’t wanna  ;-)

So, ATTENTION family, friends & crafty bloggers:

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2013 in style with this Granny Cowl with Cream Rose!!!  It’s the perfect way to show your Irish pride this spring, and for years to come!  This cowl was made by yours truly using 100% Acrylic yarn in a smoke-free, pet-free environment.  And, I speak from experience when I say that you’ll LOVE wearing this crafty accessory!
