Today is Give-Away Day!

One of my absolute favorite blogs, Sew, Mama, Sew, has declared today Give-Away Day! I slipped my blog in just under the wire to participate.

Here's how it works. Today, lots and lots of crafty bloggers are all giving away something hand crafted or items to aid and abet a hand-crafter. You can enter to win by leaving a comment on their individual blogs. I love this idea because it's always cool to win something but even cooler to find crafty blogs!

Here is my give-away item. It's the first of my Padded Pouches:


I am especially charmed by the interior:


I'm a sucker for a good stripe.

Unlike my other pouches, this pouch is a little smaller and padded with cushy fleece. It's got a cozy feel and the fleece adds some extra protection for anything delicate that lives in the pouch. I'll be adding this pouch to my shop later today.

To win this pouch, leave a comment answering this question:

"What is the greatest prize you've ever won?"

Post your comment by 7:00 pm (PST) on Friday, December 5th, and my random number picker (ie, whichever kidling is closest to me at picking time) will select the winner. I'll ship off the pouch early next week and pay for domestic or international shipping.

Thanks for playing and go check out some other blogs!

  5. My favorite prize was some tickets to a Better then Ezra concert that I won from a local radio station. I never win things so that ended up being a nice surprise.

  6. I remember I won a little walkman that only played a certain radio station that was doing the give-away. I'll never forget it was "Y-95" and I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

    Love what you are offering! SO CUTE!

  7. I won the lottery with my husband! He is certainly the best! Love the bag, please enter me!

  8. I'm a sucker for good stripes too.

    Funny thing, I just won something for the first time ever a couple of days ago. It is an Amy Butler pattern. So I'd have to say that is the best, but only because it's the only one I've ever won! Let's just say the winning charm doesn't ever find me! No offense to Amy Butler either, as I think I am going to love her pattern!

  13. When I was at secondary school (what I'd guess is something like Junior High- I was 11), I won the top prize in a raffle- a boom box... being the 80's I was thrilled :) It was great and my mum didnt believe me when I rang her to pick me up from school that evening!

  24. I love Give Away Day! It's my favoritest day EVER!

    When my son was a baby, we went to the Mall of America in Minneapolis for the Halloween costume contest. He won the costume contest out of over 10,000 costumes. Of course, he was the "official" winner, but I made the costume. It was great! He was a skunk made with faux fur. So cute! He won a $100 gift certificate and tickets to a broadway musical that was coming through town. Fun!

  25. I would love to win this pouch. The "greatest" price I ever won was a simple ball at a carnival when I was 5 or 6. I rolled the dice and had three sixes.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I've never won a prize actually... that's why I'm trying for all of these giveaways! I really love the fabric on the outside.

    ReplyDelete
  27. That pouch is adorable. The stripes won me over! Your question is tough. But I once won a little tool kit at the lumberyard. The same month, my dad won a pink breast cancer quilt and wanted to swap for my manly prize!

  31. What an adorable pouch!

    If I don't count dh as my greatest prize, it would have to be the sewing machine I won from Regis and Kathy Lee almost 20 years ago. They give away much bigger gifts these days, but I'm still using that machine!

  34. There was a Valentine's Day in college where the Professor asked who was having the worst Valentine's. I raised my hand to explain we had just found out my dog had cancer.

  47. When I was younger, my family and I went to the Bozo show. You know, with the crazy clown and lots of screaming kids. Well when it came to the end of the show where they draw a name of someone to go down and throw the balls in the bucket...they drew my name. I was so nervous my hands were all shaky, so I only managed to get 2 buckets. Even so, I won some crazy board game and a stuffed animal. Yay or memories!

  76. That fabric is gorgeous! When I was 12 and was glued to FM radio (that gives you a clue to my age) I won a gold pen by saying a jingle really fast on-air. I've won much nicer things but as my first win, it was sweet ;-)

  80. I love your pouch.
    You know, I got some prizes in internet and it is dificult to name only one...
    I wan the entire Sis Boom basics line from Jenifer Pagannelli (1 yard of each one).
    But I think the one I liked the most was a black package that was sent to me and some of my flickr contacts filled with fabric and beads, without any identification. Every package was personalised having in consideration the profile of who wasgoing to receive it. And at first no one knew who send those amazing packages. And the funiest part was that those who discovered never told the other. This happened in May '08 and I only found out who send that in October.
    That was so fun and generous from a dear and sweet friend... I'll never forget.
    Take a look at my blog and enter my give away :)

    ReplyDelete
  98. What a great pouch! I love the fabric combos (and I, too, am a sucker for good stripes).

    The best thing I ever won was a pair of rollerblades at my high school prom after-party. Actually, that might be the ONLY thing I've ever won, and that was, oh, almost 15 years ago. I think I'm due winning something again :-)

    ReplyDelete
  99. oooh - so pretty! This probably isn't what you meant by a prize but I think my greatest prize is my daughter. We have only boys in her generation of my entire extended family. Even my cousins all have boys. There's 15 of them. So when I had a daughter it was like winning the lottery! She's truly a treasure too so I couldn't hope to win anything better than her. :)

    ReplyDelete
  100. i would lvoe to win this!!! love the combo!!

It was back in high school, and we ended up finding out that the envelope with my story had been misplaced. The literature department then got me a book as a present, since once they read the story, they all agreed that I would have won... It was the best!!

    Thanks for this giveaway... :-)

    I'd love to win a cute little something like this. That pouch is dear and I love the idea of lining it with fleece to cushion the contents a bit!

    This is beautiful!

    The best prize I ever won, was actually won by my son. He was about 7 and always seemed to run second or third in everyhing, that was until the school held a spaghetti eating contest. My champion kid came first for the first time in his life and the smile on his messy face was priceless. I have a photo of him proudly holding up his cerificate and his prize of a giant tin of spaghetti.

  154. I am a sucker for anything with brown colors in it :)
    I can't remember ever having won anything, except for $5 on a scratch off lotto ticket someone gave me about five years ago. My husband won an iPod at his work last year, that's pretty good.

  192. Gorgeous pouch! love the fabrics you used.

    The best prize I ever won was an all inclusive trip for 4 to Jamaica from Sunny Delight (yup, SunnyD, that icky orange beverage).
    I was so excited I screamed.
    I bought a new tropical wardrobe for the trip and had a pedicure to show off my new sandals.
    Then multiple mini disasters struck and none of us were able to go. I had to forfeit the trip (non-refundable, non-transferable).
    I still have the now-useless airline tickets in my drawer as a reminder of how cruel fate can be.

  193. Love the pouch. I used to win every door prize imaginable but I've had a bit of a dry spell in the past few years. The best prize I ever won was at a paddling race and I won a Thule roof box. Except for the fact that I had carpooled from Vancouver to Seattle and didn't have any way of getting it home! Ended up bribing someone to bring it home who had to try and convince the border guard that it really was a prize.

  194. Well I just won a book by Leslie Ludy, I am pretty excited about that. But I cannot think of anything major. Thanks for the chance to win now, though!

  196. When I was about 12 (not telling how many years ago) I won $50 from a local mall. It was close to Christmas so I used it to buy gifts for my family, 4 siblings and my parents. I felt so rich!

    ReplyDelete
  197. Haven't won anything crafty yet but my biggest win was a $250 gift voucher to purchase medical text books.

    I have to agree with you, the stripes make the bag.
