I'm feeling MUCH better today and I'm so glad, because it is time to announce some winners! I got a comment from Lissa at the Bistro and she reminded me about the Boy-Name Poll I put up last week. You can go vote on it still if you'd like but as of today the rankings are:

1. Lennon (4 votes)
2. Lennan (2 votes)
3. 3-way tie: Zeppelin, Zephyr and Zoren (1 vote each)

Thank you for voting if you did! How fun was that?!

Bloggy-versary Giveaway!

-----GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED---

Last year I started blogging on THIS DAY!
Read the first post here!


Looking forward to the new year... 

 To celebrate I have decided to do another giveaway!!! This time it will be a little different. Instead of giving away a sock monkey YOU tell ME what you get! There's a choice of between a HiLLjO-made  amigurumi crochet animal of your choice; a standard-size sock monkey; or even a crochet accessory of your choice like a hat, socks, gloves or corset-style arm warmers!

Value of ths giveaway is $20USD and is open to International entries. Giveaway closes 12/26/11.

-----GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED---

Good Luck and Thanks for the Great Year!!!

READERS: VOTE! America's Top Bride!

Hey all and Happy Almost-Friday.
Get Married is having an "America's Top Bride" contest and I have entered into it! The prize is $5,000 and we could really use that to go on a honeymoon away or to help us get some furniture (lol our house is nekky mostly). I uploaded this photo and my reasoning:

I am America's Top Bride because my fiancee and I planned our wedding together as a representation of who we are TOGETHER and it made for a fantastic celebration of love. We crafted it all by hand with our families for under $8,000 total and had a great, mostly stress-free experience just by focusing on what was really important: getting married. It's not about the flowers, the dress or even the photographer; It is about two people who commit to be best friends for life and share their life experiences every day with each other. I feel that because I learned this and understand it and live it everyday that I am America's Top Bride!

So if you think I could win, please go and vote for us!!! We could really use the money and I do think I am pretty darn crafty on a dime, especially when it comes to planning a wedding!

Sock Monkey Giveaway!!! WINNER!

Finally! It's Friday!

I am SOOOO happy to announce the winner of the HiLLjO custom sock monkey!

You can pick any of the monkeys I have in my inventory ( I will send you a photo of current stock) or we can create one to your liking and start from scratch (with a pair of socks)!

You can also pick from several customization options if we start with socks:

• Embroidered OR button eyes (felt backing color choice available)
• Name/Personalization Embroidery
• Clothing/Accessories 

There are no holds barred here, and if you're anxiously scrolling looking for the name of the winner, here it is:

The Favour Shoppe

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you; now you'll have a Favour Shoppe Monkey!
