Fall 500+ Fan Give Away!

Wow...I mean...WOW!

I cannot believe how far my little page and business have come and how quickly!  It is absolutely amazing to me.  Seeing the little red bubble at the top of my page telling me I have a new fan or more never gets old.  It makes me giddy and very school-girlish.  I love it!  And I love all of you!  You keep me going.  You help make what I do fun.  You keep me on my toes.  You all rock and I'm grateful to you and for you.

Enough blabbering!  On to the fun!!!!

So - fall is just around the corner.  Someone please tell me where the heck the summer went!  Seriously. 

Your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to comment below telling me what fall-inspired hat/item you'd like to see in my shop.  I have so many hats I can make that aren't listed in my shop: pumpkin, apple, candy corn, Frankenstein's Monster (yeah - you read that right - cool huh?), Jack Skellington, and more!

So - comment below and tell me what you'd like to see.  It can be from the list above or something else you'd like.  It just needs to be fall-inspired!

One lucky commenter will win a fall-inspired hat of their choice.

Good luck and bring on the comments!

I will draw before bed tonight!

Win It Before You Can Buy It

Here's the deal, folks.

I'm a pattern junkie.  I have a real problem.  I'd go so far as to call it an addiction.  I have patterns upon patterns that I haven't gotten around to making because I just can't seem to find the time recently.  Yet, I can't stop myself from buying them.  I need an intervention...really.

So now that you know my dirty little secret, here's how the game is going to work:

I am going to link four (4) patterns from super talented pattern designers that I have purchased that I have all the intentions in this good world to make.

Your job is to comment below as to which item made from one of those four (4) patterns you'd like to see in my shop first.

I will leave this open for a while - I'm thinking until I go to bed tonight.  Then random.org will choose a winner and that winner will receive the item they voted for in the size of their choice.

Make sense?

Okay - here we go!

Okay - go forth and comment below with your mostest favoritest of the patterns listed above.  I have so many more.  So, so, so many more.  I have to start somewhere though, right?!

EDIT:  I'll draw for the winner in the morning!

A Blog?!

I know it looks rough.  I know I have no idea what I'm doing.  I know I'll probably drive you all crazy while I work this blog out.

Be kind.

Oh - and that 300 fan Win It Before You Can Buy It give away will be held here.  Mostly because I would be a very, very sad panda if Facebook shut me down.

Cheers!
