I WILL win an Epiphanie bag if I try hard enough!

I entered the Epiphanie Camera Bags + Zenfolio Picture It photo contest! http://bit.ly/Ix1mXq

I have entered 3 or 4 contests so far trying to win one of these Epiphanie camera bags. I will not give up until I finally have one. I think it's become an obsession. My current camera bag is very sad. It's a purse I picked up in Trier, Germany at the Christmas market (where the above photo was taken!) with a blanket stuffed in the bottom for padding. I REALLY need to win this bag :)

A surprise for the entrants in the January hat give-away

I'm feeling generous this week so to show my appreciation to every one that entered the hat-give-away last month I have a  Surprise! 

Every-one that shared my blog on Facebook and commented on the blog post is going to get a custom made hat :) The hats are finished. I will try to mail them out as soon as possible. If I don't already have your addresses please message them to me on the fan page. Thanks!

This one is my favorite. There is something about baby hats...

That one ^^ is for Mike and Brandy

Miss Amanda ^^

Cathy ^^ (If you want something else let me know, I didn't know what to make you)

And this hat belongs to the winner - who has already received it :)

Hat give-away winner

Yay! I finally finished the hat for the hat give away contest I had awhile back. He requested a monster but I had to try to man it up a little. I was a teeny bit out of practice so I had a make a couple other hats before I got it right but here it is. I hope the winner's husband enjoys it and still gets a little use out of it this winter since it took me so long to finish. It'll probably be cold in Kansas for a couple more months, hehehe!

I was thinking I should have another contest when my facebook fan page gets to 100 likes. Keep sharing the statuses and referring your friends and you could be chosen for the next hat give-away!

Winner time!

I will be in touch with you to find out the specifics on the hat you'd like. For the rest of you, keep reading and maybe I'll do another contest in the future. I guess it's time for me to break out my knitting gear. It's been awhile and I might be a bit rusty at it so please be patient.
