GIVEAWAY #1

…..CONTINUED

(from the last post)

Spring is on its way and although the winter uses of a cozy blanket are dissipating (yippee skippee), the spring and summer uses for such a blanket are just beginning….

1.      Picnics on the lawn will need a “table” cloth

2.     Outdoor concerts will need a ground cover that can double as a wrap when the sun goes down.

3.     Trampoline sleepovers will need an extra layer of warmth and comfort

4.     Campfire serenades will need a mosquito repellant

5.     Children with imagination will need the proper materials to build an extra wing onto their indoor fortresses when it’s too rainy to play outside.

Sew Many Books is here to fill your seasonal blanket needs.

I am pleased to announce

Sew Many Book’s

I’m sorry I had to delete item “g” in the points total. Since I’m new to the facebook fan page authoring....I did NOT realize that I do not have access to read each fan’s wall (they only have access to read mine).

L Although there are plent y of alternative to make up those points, for this giveaway, I will not be incorporating them. FORGIVE ME!
