Something to share with you and a giveaway

I received an email from my good friend Trina today and she was sharing what she had made for her daughter for Halloween.  Aren't these adorable!!!!  I love them and how creative!!
I also talked with my oldest brother in Pennsylvania tonite and it seems they are getting ready for the first snow of the season.  Well I got to thinking about this and thought.....what a good reason for a giveaway.  So we are going to have a little "snow" giveaway.  If you'll take notice to my new header, there is a skein of light blue Gloriana silk in it.  Well if you post a comment to this entry only, I will enter your name into the drawing to win that skein of silk.  If you receive snow before next friday, enter your name again for a second chance.  This giveaway is open to followers of my blog only and as always, I will add a surprise to the giveaway but only the winner will know what it is.  Good Luck!!
Blessings as always,
Barbara

    Well, I've never even seen that brand of bloss so I'd love to be entered. There's no way I'll see snow yet down here in the south but I hear some are about to get hammered.

    Those boxes are adorable! No snow called for here, at least for the next few days, but I know Utah got some a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to actually be out of town when it came. The floss looks like a gorgeous and wintry color

    I loved your header. It makes me think of a snow princess. The light blues and the shimmer.
    I haven't heard of any snow on the way, and that is just fine with me. Good luck to all that enter, and you can keep the snow!

    Gloriana is a dream to stitch with...not available around here, but a dream to stitch with. Snow around here....Ohio weather is weird, it would be just our luck for it to snow already! Thanks for another wonderful giveaway, Barb!

    Ooooo I've never stitched with silk before. I've heard it is really nice to stitch with. I would love to be a part of your giveaway. I live in Miami, so snow is unheard of down here. :)

    I love the cool wintry look of your new header. And the blue of the floss in your giveaway really fits your theme! Please enter my name in your giveaway.

    I think I can safely assume you'll see only this one entry from me - today's high temp was 88 - not much chance of snow here!

    What a great giveaway, such a different spin. The new header pic is beautiful.
    No snow here in NC. The family in CT will probably not have power for a week :(
    Thanks for the chance to win.

    I would also like to ask for some information on the little pillow (not the humbug) but the square little finish in your header's picture. Its very pretty!

    Many thanks
