#1 From Leslie: Fabric Garland
Back in the day I made two of these. But since I seriously overestimated the amount of fabric I would need for husband's birthday garland, I ended up with two. So one could be yours!
{Total length of garland is just over 15 FEET with and additional 6" of excess bias tape at each end for pinning. Each double sided triangle measures 7.5" wide and 9.25" long.}
and a stack of small scraps.
#3 From Renae: Library Bag
We've been loving the library so much at our house. It makes me happy to see that all my kids, including the boys, love to read. Even my 3 year old C. asks to go so that he can get some more "twain books". We love BOOKS!! I've posted before about the library bags that each of my kids have to use at our house. Today I am giving one away. The winner may choose between one of the two pictured.
a. "Reading Rocks"--denim with turquoise/yellow/orange striped lining.
OR
b. "Book Bag"--denim with lime/turquoise floral lining. 
To Enter our drawing, tell us the name of one (or more) of your favorite kids' books in the comments. Comments will close Wednesday at Midnight Pacific Time. One entry per person, winners will be announced on Friday, April 3rd. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorites to read aloud was Haris and Me by Gary Paulson. Great for kids 10 or 12 or so. Has some good topics for discussion with preteens and is FUNNY! My kids also loved all of the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket..I found them a bit annoying, but the kids loved them (son was about 8 or 9 and daughter 11 or 12 at the time). Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love Oh the places you go by Dr. Seuss for kids....how true of a book it is for adults! Happy Reading....
ReplyDeleteThe Velveteen Rabbit. That book has alwasy been my favorite (even as an adult). I bought a special edition for my nephew when he was born. One night a week, at bedtime, I call him and read him a the book (I live a good 7 hours away from my nephew).
