First Day of Summer Giveaway...



Today is the official first day of summer!
To bring in the new summer season,
I thought it would be fun to have a
First Day of Summer Giveaway.
The prize will be a new 'summery' purse
that I crocheted this week.
The purse is an orange sherbert theme
with summer daisy pockets and straps.


To participate:


1. Leave a comment on THIS post

in a post on your blog.

If you'd like,
you can use the above graphic. ;o)
To use the graphic,
you'll need to click on it
to bring it up in a new window
and then save it.

If you don't have a blog,
you can still participate
by leaving a comment with your name
and then check for the winner
on next Saturday. ;o)


Contest will end
Friday, June 29th, 2007 at midnight.
Winner will be announced that Saturday morning.
Below are some photos of the purse.
It's such a cutie!





Happy Summer!

Hi Ally!!!

You have lots of people in this contest...it's a good idea! Oh, I'd love to be in your contest!
For those of you who are having trouble copying the logo, I highlighted it then put my cursor over it and it had options on there... maybe that will work.(????)It may be an option just on my computer...

Lovely purse--you did a wonderful job! Would you mind sharing where you got the pattern, or did you make it up yourself? :-) I just came across your blog tonight for the first time, but think I will join in the fun of the contest. My oldest daughter (7 1/2 yrs.) would love this and would also love to learn to crochet one herself!

Anonymous said...

You did an absolutely incredible job. You are a very creative and talented young lady. Will you be posting the pattern after your summer drawing?

Shereen said...

Hi Ally, it came out so cute. Did you get this from the Bernat yarn website? I hope you count me in as well. I know Kayla submitted hers, so I will submit my entry separate for her younger sister. ;0) Keep up the great work.
