March Round-up, and the Giveaway

First things first - I couldn't pick a winner of the giveaway for Stacey Trock's e-book Rainbow Amigurumi .
I didn't get enough comments and those who commented didn't follow my rules.  Bummer!  I'd take this book for myself if I wasn't so honest and ethically inclined.  I'd like to do one more go around, to make sure everyone gets a fair chance.  So let's try again?

Stacey Trock is giving away a copy of her e-book, Rainbow Amigurumi.  She's a fantastic creator of crocheted amigurumi, and her books and website provide some fabulous teaching tools, if you've never crocheted before.  I'm going to leave this giveaway open all week, to close NEXT Saturday (April 7) at noon.  Rules are simple:

Follow me in some way (Google Friend Connect, Facebook, Linky Followers, RSS feed).
Leave me a comment letting me know how you followed me - on this post or the original giveaway post.

That's it! I'll draw randomly next Saturday, and notify the winner by email.

Back to business - Ready to see what I did this month?

This is my first monthly round-up!  I'm really excited to share it with all of you, since I haven't been blogging for too long, and a lot of you are new visitors to my site.  A round-up is a great way to refresh everyone's memory, and really helps you realize just how much you actually accomplished in the past month.  I feel much better for seeing all of my projects and activities in one place.

Starting from recent history and working our way back, here's what this month held:











Camping at Caprock Canyons and Palo Duro Canyon State Parks













Whew!  If you made it this far, you're awesome.  Thanks for keeping up with me and my projects. Anyone notice my photography is improving?  One day I'll feel like I can justify getting an awesome camera because I've outgrown my old one.  But for now, I still have a lot to learn.

Don't forget to enter the giveaway!

I can't wait to see what I can get done in the next month!

    1. Yep - a comment about how you followed me (in your case Google Friend Connect (GFC)) is all you need. :)

  2. So, I guess I don't follow directions very well. I'm pretty sure that I officially follow you on Facebook, that counts right?

    1. Sorry for the confusion Annemarie - it seems a few people missed the finer points of the giveaway, and I wanted to make sure to give everyone a fair chance. It's actually my first giveaway, so I'm sorry for the rough patch! I'm still trying to figure things out on my end. I truly was surprised that I acquired a giveaway, and wasn't as prepared for it as I would have wished. My apologies.

      Thanks for following, I'm glad to see you've stuck around!
