Holiday Giveaway!!!!!!!


If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love blog giveaways. I love entering them and hosting them. In the evening while DH channel surfs, I read blogs. I've been blessed to win a number of giveaways (thank you, friends)  Just this week, I received an email from April at KoolBeenz . April does lots of neat things on her blog especially a weekly giveaway. 


I was fortunate to win a gift certificate from SkyeReve fabrics. Natasha has lots of cute fabric; but once I saw that she had Ruby by Bonnie & Camille for Moda, my decision was made.









But wait!  I've been wanting to do another giveaway and what better thing to giveaway than something I'd love to have myself. Natasha has agree to this change in the giveaway. She has set not 1, but 2 of the Ruby charm packs aside for us. The giveaway will end on Monday, Dec. 12th at 5:00 EST.  To enter the giveaway for the 2  Charm Packs of RUBY fabric, leave a comment telling me the name of a movie that you enjoyed. Next Wednesday, I'm having hip replacement surgery. I plan to watch lots of movies during my recovery period and need some suggestions.  Thanks for entering "OUR" giveaway! Thanks especially to April and Natasha for their generosity in their giveaway!

    I agree with all suggestions so far - easy recovery movies all of them (I prefer the Emma with Jonny Miller in it).

    North and South has the best cinematic kiss in it at the end.

    Maybe my all time favorite re-watchable is When Harry Met Sally. Any Nora Ephron movie is a good one too.

  6. LynnDecember 6, 2011 at 5:59 PM

    I love When Harry Met Sally. Forget Paris is another good one along those same lines. I also like

    Eat, Pray, Love

    Hope your surgery goes well and you are up and quilting again soon. Let me know if you need some company although I bet your house will be busy with the holidays & LSU games. I love watching Charlie Brown Christmas and Elf this time of year. But for some really good watching you can't go wrong Katherine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy :) Speedy recovery!

  9. Sandie @ crazy'boutquiltsDecember 6, 2011 at 6:10 PM

    If you are looking for laughs, I'd choose Elf. My DFIL had hip surgery a couple weeks ago and is going home tomorrow. Hope you have a speedy recovery too! Thanks for the fun!

  10. DebDecember 6, 2011 at 6:23 PM

    There are loads of great movies to watch this time of year - and people have already suggested several. For some comic relief, I suggest hunting down Pixar Shorts (on the Disney channel) when they run as a movie. All that creative energy condensed into 5 minute shorts!

  22. HelenDecember 6, 2011 at 10:10 PM

    First of all, my prayers will be with you as you face your upcoming surgery. I had surgery for a multiple dislocated and broken shoulder from a fall I took at the end of October. May your surgeon be swift and accurate as he fixes you up good as new.

    I've been recovering since November 11 and have been watching Netflix on my computer. I've watched some of their family Christmas movies and a few of them are trite, but I'm kind of a sucker for that (especially this time of year).

    I love the movie ELF...Will Ferrell is a hoot!

    Get well soon and Merry Christmas.

    Oh, I absolutely LOVE the fabric and sure would enjoy using it.

    You are truly generous and sweet to offer this giveaway.

    I hope your surgery goes well. I am sure you will do great!! I have had 2 knee replacements and am so thankful I did.

    Take care and don't forget your Physical Therapy.

    Here's hoping your surgery ends well and recover time is swift. My all time favorite movie is 'Ever After' with Drew Barrymore. It is another twist on the Cinderella movie and when I just need some escape time... this is it.

    First, I hope that your surgery goes well and that you have quick recovery.
    There are so many fun movies out there- Do you want old or new- For sure you want to get a copy of The Help - and if you haven't read the book - read that too.. It is sensational!
    My favorite chick flicks are ones like Sleepless in Seattle, You've got Mail, Bridget Jone's Diary, Pride and Prejudice, Eat, Pray Love, Pretty Woman, and Julie and Julia
    I really enjoyed the King's Speech- Something fun would include Mamma Mia.
    Mostly fun and light-
    Take care,
    Regards,
    Anna

    Well, I have always enjoyed While You Were Sleeping, Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth, not the newer ones), Bleak House, Downton Abbey (mini series), and for something different and more modern, if you like sci-fi the most recent Star Trek movie was good, and so was Super 8.

    Hope you heal up FAST FAST FAST!
