So the group I am in on ebay is having a monthly drawing for a fabulous prize given by different members each month. To start out our new year JO, CottoneyedJo or swimming in fabric*former ebay name* is giving our first gift. I am going to copy and paste EXACTLY what she has written, If you would like to sign up just go to CPLG BLOG and follow directions.
The next year is just a few days away, and CPLG is going to be giving away a surprise each month. I've been thinking about the new year with Rose Colored Glasses if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor, so let's go with the grass is always greener on the other side! Now greener can have all kinds of meanings, and one that I certainly hope applies will be the reusing of wonderful items. I call it upcycling(now) when the idea was new to me it was called recycling, and in the olde days, there was a saying "Use it up, Use it Out or Do without". So while the words change and the ideas transform, a good trait(thrifty ~ use/reuse of things with value) endures.
To kick off our year of giving, I'm offering a cow which I hope will bring you a year of prosperity. It is made from a "cutter quilt" in the pattern known as Grandmother's Flower Garden. This one seems unusual to me in the use of the brown fabrics. It immediately suggested cows to me. How now brown cow, and all that jazz...
To win this cow is simple. Leave a positive comment about one of the two following topics.
- upcycling
- coming new year
How easy is that? Well, honestly, if you are not a member of cplg it gets even more probable!!!
I'll draw from available names, with a preference for non group members. If none exist, then ladies in the group will be most likely to win! I'll need to ship this item to the winner, so if you are interested, please keep reading the blog for an announcement. Winner to be chosen on January 15th, the last day of our Valentine Launch. Y'all make a comment ON CPLG BLOG IT WILL NOT COUNT IF YOU LEAVE THE COMMENT ON MY BLOG ONLY CPLG BLOG and come on back now!
