Tonight is the first full moon of December 2009 and it is HUGE. It’s also raining so I’m hoping clouds don’t restrict seeing it in all her glory. The second full moon of this month, the Blue Moon, is December 30th and it’s lovely to end this year on such a beautiful note. All that to say, I’m over the moon because

Thanks!

Darling, you are! I love reading Gift From the Sea, but I can never resist a craft book, and your mug rugs are the cutest, coziest I've ever seen. So I don't want to choose. Hooray to your winners, and I'll be tickled if I'm one of them.
p.s. your blog is charming.
thanks for having this giveaway! it must be so lovely to live in a beautiful old house surrounded by so much history! I've been meaning to learn crochet/ knitting to make washcloths and potholders…winning the pattern book and yarn would be just the final push I need!
If I won I would pick the dishcloth pattern booklet and skein of cotton yarn. All are great prizes! Thanks for the chance to win.

My goodness…each of these things is fantastic! I'd like any of them.
The felted mug rugs because they are beautiful and I've never made something like that….

And who can turn down a vintage book to be read???
How fun! Now, I have to go check out your yarn. Cheers!

I just adore the felted coasters! But then, who wouldn't?!
The photos of your family farm are truly breathtaking–it must be a true joy to wake up each morning to such a view! But I didn't over look the lovely blue moon you had 2nights ago–a spectacle to behold!

But you don't need to enter me in the contest…oops. Realized I may have commented in the wrong spot! Tee hee.
I love your profile picture, Sandra. It's very sweet and that paint horse…wowza!!!
I love those coaster mugs! Thanks for the chance.
As I live abroad, I'm limited to coasters… But the point is, they would make me really happy if by chance I come to won !
books! love them! want them!
I'm just starting in on the cotton dishcloth craze, so I'd love the book and yarn. Also pretty enthralled by the coasters if I get a second choice. 🙂
Another lovely giveaway from a lovely lady!
Thank you so much for the chance to win a goody. I would choose the yarn and pattern book as my crocheting skills are still pretty squeaky. But those cute coasters make it a pretty tough choice.
Enjoy that moon as I do..
Beaded coasters! Lovely. Thanks for the giveaway.

Hello Sandra!
What a neat giveaway! Sounds like fun so count me in. Hmmm, I'd say I'm interested in the mug rugs. I love the name! Very cute 🙂
Oh! A week or so ago, you asked what I did at my job. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond! I answer phones for an IT company. Eight and a half hours of sitting waiting for a phone to ring. Not by any means what I'm craving to do but I'm thankful. Plus, when the computer doesn't crash (my computer doesn't work properly at the IT company…ironic?) I'm able to spend time with my bloggy friends!
I hope you have a marvelous Thursday!
Jen

I would love to win the dishcloth pattern booklet since these are about the extent of my crocheting abilities. I think the mug rugs are so creative and unique and would be very pleased to win a pair. I sure wouldn't say no to the book. All of these are nice prizes. Thanks!
The mug rugs are great! Thank you for the giveaway.
