thursday giveaway : candy hues

sooo ... here we go again, girls ... still here ? I hope we lost nobody between yesterday & today :P eheh So now we're officially Thursday & today is the 4th day of my week of little giveaways ! :) yay !


it includes (from left to right) :
- 1 meter of black (thin) crochet lace
- 1 meter of light purple (um, parma ?) cotton crochet lace
- 1 meter of (light) pink cotton crochet lace
- 1 heart star shaped cookie cutter

why "candy hues" ? simply because they make me think of licorice (black lace), violet candies (purple) & cotton candy (pink). yes, I know, I'm a pityful sweet tooth ...

I'll repeat the rules each day, in case you stumble upon these giveaways & didn't read the original post about it. So here it goes :

... you can enter your name (once) each day, for each new giveaway !

... you don't have to have a blog yourself, but having a Flickr stream would be nice

... I'm willing to ship anywhere on this planet, so go ahead !

... although I'm on Twitter, you won't get more "tickets" if you tweet or retweet about it


Therefore, to enter your name, everyday, for each giveaway, you will have to :

... provide a name (so I can call you by your name if you win !)

... provide an email address or a way for me to contact you

... (just because I'm so curious !) tell me in which country you live

... tell me if you craft yourself (and which crafts you do, if you want to)

... and this is new for this week of giveaway .... you will have to ask me ONE QUESTION, something you've always wondered about me, a question you would like to ask me, really, anything ! I'll be happy to answer any questions. It can be personal (a bit, OK ?) or ... oh well, really, be imaginative !!

and I will be answering each question (yes !) the following week (on Thursday I will answer the questions asked the previous Thursday etc)

okay ... then, good luck everyone, and keep celebrating & asking questions.

* * * *

so yesterday I got at long last a haircut, oh boy I feel so much lighter, ahah. Next month I'll go to the ophtalmologist (along with the boys), and I need to change the glasses. I've been having them for at least 3 years & they're so used now, I can't embroider with them anymore, they blur my sight. (I'm myopic) This was me, yesterday afternoon.

much needed haircut

Now I need to get going, another busy day ahead ! have a good one, ladies !

  25. Hi Sonia!

    Me again :) So... I love to travel and find it to be very humbling and also just makes me feel very alive and free and open with so much to learn and experience and so many people to meet... lately I have been planning my honeymoon and am so excited to take my soon-to-be hubby (who has never left the East Coast of the US) somewhere new and wonderful, which has me reflecting on all of my favorite places and moments on the planet - what is your favorite?!
