Giveaway Alert!! Have You Gotten A Round Tuit Yet?

Happy Monday everyone!!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I took the kids ice skating in June.  It was nice to cool off a bit, but I think we onlt lasted about 45 minutes.  Those skates are possibly the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn!  (Right up there with fake eyelashes and swimsuits in public.)  But we had a "memorable" time, for sure.

Anyhow, I am so excited to introduce you to Jill, if you haven't met her yet.  Jill is the owner and author of the blog, Creating My Way to Success.  And every Monday, Jill has a fantastic link party called A Round Tuit.  Cute, right?  Jill is definitely a girl after my own heart.

This week, I am doing a Pattern Giveaway over at Jill's Party, so head on over.  The rules are super simple and I'm sure you'll find some great inspiration in the process as well.  Here are the rules, straight off of Jill's website:

**One entry - go to Yards and Yards etsy shop and leave a comment with Jill telling her which pattern you would like to win.

**Additional entry - become a follower of Yards and Yards blog, and leave a comment here telling Jill you have done so
**Extra entry for mentioning this giveaway on your blog, facebook or twitter, and leave a comment at Jill's place telling her you have done so.

I've really enjoyed A Round Tuit parties because:

1.  It's a great place to be inspired and find fun, creative ideas.

2.  It's a fun way to showcase what I've been working on.

3.  It keeps me motivated to keep creating.

So, feel free to join in the fun!  And thanks Jill, for hosting these parties.  Keep it up!

PS.  Here are some of my new patterns you can sign up to win:

Fun stuff!!!  Enjoy the party and have a fun week.
