And the Angel Winner Is...

Wow - deciding  on who wins the giveaway was interesting. As someone who owns and plays a lot of Christmas piano music, the angel giveaway commenters covered just about every song. Although I must say, Australia's   Christmas Where The Gum Trees Grow is a new one for me.

So - on to the giveaway.
The most popular carol was O Holy Night. Closely followed by Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Elvis!
Making me choose one, and only ONE carol depends on the time of day, where I am at and who I am with. I like them all.
I have been collecting O Holy Night versions these last few years so I am going with that carol   This nicely narrows my choices down to a handful -- and I choose:

"O Holy Night is my favorite . . . especially sung by a choir. I don't know why exactly, but it always touches my heart when I hear it and I can't help but get teary eyed listening."

Thanks to everyone who left a comment. I very much enjoyed reading some of your blogs and profiles.

And a big shout out to the special people at SewMamaSew who pulled all of these giveaways out of their magic hat.

Angel Giveaway

 Since I only managed one bazaar this year, I am left with some bazaar (or is that bizarre? ) items.
When I got home the other night I read that SewMamaSew is hosting a Giveaway Day. How cool.

So here is what I am giving away.

This is a handmade angel, made by me, to hang on the tree or from a doorknob or from your bedpost.  It will arrive with some special angel goodies inside.

The cornet/cone is made from a discarded damask tablecloth in the free box at a garage sale. The previous owners tried to bleach a stain out and they didn't quite like the  resulting 'tie-dye' effect.
Anyway the blue damask is lined with a waffle-weave scrap of fabric. The angel wings are made with some more damask scraps - this time in a heavier white. I took these photos outside and I notice she's a tad wind-blown in the hair-do department. Missy Angel is wearing a halo of small red berries over her curly hair.

If you want it, just leave me a comment telling me your absolute favorite Christmas carol and explain why.   
*** I am on Blogger so you might want to figure out how to leave your e-mail so I can contact you if you win - something like name at something dot com.

I will decide either by agreeing with you 100% or figuring out how to post a random number generator.
Contest opens Dec. 13, 2010 and closes December 17th, 2010. I think the idea is for all of us givers to ship it so the winner receives it by Christmas.
I will ship internationally as well as domestically.

(You do not have to wait until Dec.13 to enter)

There are a ton of Giveaways on the SewMamaSew blog.   Take time to visit the other blogs and enter their giveaways. Don't forget SewMamaSew ships extremely fast if you need something from their shop. I recently ordered some fabric and had it the next day.
