Here ya go. I decided to use four online shops for the gift certificate BUT if you are international and have a place you prefer, check to see if they will accept US funds through Paypal. Many of you use 123 Stitch, Silent Stitches has gorgeous scissors (and The Porcupine Collection) plus lots of other little (and big) goodies, and Anita's has some items for quilters and other stitching accessories too. If you have enough charts and want something different, I'm sure you can find the usual to unusual, tools, buttons, patterns, storage, aides, and whatnots.
http://www.silentstitches.com/
It takes a long time to see everything they have to offer and I wish I could find a way to search!
http://www.123stitch.com/
http://www.anitalittlestitches.com/
Charm packs, quilting, linen, and other goodies.
and....
http://www.nordicneedle.com/
For everything and anything regarding needlework, goodies, storage, and then some.
I will have Random draw a name on Sunday December 7 at 8pm EST for a $30 gift certificate from the above options, your choice.
A few of you wondered why I decorate my back area. This is my view from the kitchen. I have stone laid around the front entrance but am trying to get a short shepherd's hook into the ground to hang a bucket of greens at the step. I wonder how much force it takes to bend those iron hooks. We shall see. My arthritis is flaring in the right index finger but I will try my best.

Thank you for the generous giveaway! I'll have to check out those other three sites you posted. I have a mile long wishlist at 123stitch though, don't we all? LOL
Your back area is beautiful, I love the decorating you have done! Such a pretty place to look out from your kitchen. I love that wood siding on your house too.
Merry Christmas!

Where do you find the energy to do so much around and in your home, it always looks grand and I like the greenery around the home, it makes it look feastive.(even more when the snow comes and puts a soft white blanket around your home it will look really grand.Have you got lights up) Love what you have done so far. hugs Lynda Ruth
Thanks for offering such a great giveaway! I wouldn't mind doing dishes at your place, love the view.Good luck with the shepherds hook.1021
Thanks for the giveaway!
Your back deck is lovely. I would decorate too, even if you are the only one who will enjoy it. :)
What a great and generous giveaway! I too decorate the back area of my house because that is what I see for every meal. Love the greens in the bucket idea. Hope the arthritis feels better soon, I know what that is all about! Merry Christmas to you too.
May the blessings of Christmas touch your home. Your view out your kitchen window is stunning, ideal for Christmas decorating to brighten this winter scene. We are into our summer now. I would love to be in the draw for give away as I am needing the threads to stitch `A Quaker Christmas` by ByGone Stitches. A project for next year. Happy Stitching,Clare.
Love the view. Very generous give-away!
thank you for this wonderful giveaway!!!

Marly,
I love the view from your kitchen window...I think many people decorate for those looking from the outside; not the insiders...don't know if this makes sense????
Thank you for offering the giveaway...I'd love to be included. I so enjoy your posts.
Busy Hands...Happy Heart
Patricia
Merry Christmas and thanks for a generous giveaway! I look forward to your blog posts and appreciate your sense of humor.
Love the view out your window. Let water do the work...use your hose to dig the hole as you push your shepherd's hook into the ground...running water can cut through anything!
I'll be checking out those great sewing sights....thanks.

Your home looks serene and peaceful especially the view from your kitchen window. Thank you for such a generous giveaway. Merry Christmas!
Your home is so beautiful. It is everything I like. Real windows, lovely earth colors, simple decor, and the paving is beautiful. You and your husband have such fine taste. I realize a simple look isn't for everyone, and there are times I love the look of the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but I couldn't live day to day with too much going on. Lovely picture! God bless your holidays and I am still enjoying all of the boxes I ordered from you! Soon I will be doing the sack pattern I ordered from you!
I love the view from your window, that would be so fun to decorate and see every day.
Debbie
Love the simplicity of your decorating! I have yet to start. Would love to receive an early gift so please enter me. Thanks!
