Bloggy Giveaways is hosting a Carnival this week of what else .  .  .  .   Giveaways!  Giveaways all over the Blogosphere!

So, since I've been doing a few giveaways here, I decided to join in and cap off the month with a big one!

This afghan, handmade by me, is varigated Purple, Teal, Pink/Magenta and bordered with black.

The stitch is very textured, as I hope you can see in the photos.

And it has a simple bobbled edging.  (Underneath the corner is the smooth back of the afghan.) This afghan measures approximately 58"x76".

If you'd like to be the winner of this stunning Stained Glass Afghan, then please leave a comment before  6:00 a.m. (PST) on Sunday, February 3rd.    The winner (maybe YOU!!) will be announced before 12:00 noon.  Edited to add: Due a surprise from my husband, the winner will be announced by 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening.

This is the day that the LORD has made;  we will rejoice and be glad in it!   Psalm 118:24

The third birthday giveaway I am offering is for a set of three crocheted covered hangers, done in a soft purple yarn and tied with a lavendar sheer taffeta ribbon.

These are wonderful to use not only for sweaters but for blouses, lingerie, or any light clothing that has a tendency to slip off of regular hangers, besides just being a very pretty and feminine addition to your closet!  Hangers are approximately 15" long.

* birthday giveaway #1 *

Seeing as how January is my birthday month, I thought it would be fun to do some giveaways!  Especially since I have reached an age where it really is more fun to give something than to get -- unless of course that getting includes a great surprise from husband and children.  ;-)

So, to start off the month-long celebration here, the first giveaway will be a set of 8 notecards with coordinating envelopes, handmade by me.

These are all-purpose scripture notecards; the verse and bees are stamped on beige confetti cardstock, which is mounted on So Saffron - a warm, soft golden color - and tied with a Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.  The bees are also handcolored with Cocoa and So Saffron.  Cards will be in a clear card box for safe shipping and storage.

Okay - RULES:  Leave a comment and tell me how you got here (how you found Hen and Chicks) to enter this giveaway.   If you'd like to be entered a second time, then please tell me about a favorite post you've read here.   Deadline for entries is Monday, January 21, 6:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.  All entries will be placed in our favorite bowl and the winner drawn and announced before 12 Noon on Monday, January 21st.

Have a great day and be looking for the next giveaway in a few days!
