My Birthday and Sew Mama Sew May Giveaway!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!

image vintage buttons multicoloured doily fat quarter turquoise blue floral

I am excited to announce that I am once again participating in the annual Sew Mama Sew May giveaway day!  I love the May giveaway day event as it usually coincides with my birthday week and hosting a blog giveaway in the midst of my birthday celebrations is always lots of fun.

This year I have decided to give away TWO prizes.  The first prize is a package of some of my vintage button stash and a fat quarter in a turquoise/blue floral design.  The second prize will be one package of vintage buttons.  That's right, TWO WINNERS!  Each packet contains about 40 buttons, and although the packets are not identical, they are very similar.  To enter the giveaway, simply follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter form below.  I'll be running the giveaway from the 21st of May until the 26th of May (AEST) and it is open to worldwide entries - enjoy!

Edit: I realised that I've asked you to answer a question as a giveaway entry but I haven't told you my answer!  I live in Melbourne, Australia where it is almost winter and getting very cold every day.  I loooove buttons, especially vintage ones, and mainly use them in jewellery, hair accessories and as embellishments for fabric flowers or bags.   :)

    I love buttons! Much of the time I end up using them in stuffies as eyes or accessories, but our favorite thing to do with them is just play them. I have 3 kids and buttons are great learning tools. Sorting them by shape, color, counting them, pressing them into playdough to see the impressions... I love buttons!

    I'm from upstate NY, so it's very rural where I live and the winters are brutal (two years ago, my hometown got about 4 meters of snow one week!). It's beautiful, though, and there's lots to do outdoors, so it isn't all bad. Currently it's been lovely and warm! Anyway, I use buttons for conventional reasons usually-- in the past, this had been largely limited to my knitting, but over the winter, I sewed my very first buttonhole, so a whole new world has opened up!

    I love to use buttons to give dimension to embroidery and as fastenings for bags and purses and needle cases... let's be honest I just LOVE buttons. Especially vintage and unique ones.
    I live in Newcastle NSW Australia. Nice to find another Aussie blogger.

    I use buttons in making cards, in sewing projects - mainly decorative and I've made a couple of neckalces with them. I love going to charity stores / bargain stores to see waht I can find - it's a great place to find interesting buttons. The best ones I have found were old metal ones from the military. Not sure what to do with them yet, but boy, do I like looking at them. "My precious" - hahaha.

    Thank you for the great prizes and the opportunity to win them.

    Hi! I love vintage buttons and I use them in a variety of ways. I like to make jewelry with them and use them in my mixed media arts projects as well. Sometimes I will embellish a card or scrapbook page with buttons as well. There are so many fun ways to use them! Thanks for offering them as a prize!

    I live in FloralPark, NY, just outside NYC, and it has been rainy and dreary the past couple of days.

    My contact info is: scrapgirl1467 (at) yahoo (dot) com

    Thanks you for participating in the giveaway and for the lovely prize.

    Have a great day,
    Maureen

I also like to string them together and hang them in interesting places in my craft room. I also use them with bakers string when wrapping special packages. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I love adding buttons to give texture to items, for instance as a point of interest on my apron I put some gorgeous brightly coloured buttons on to make it mine.

    I also live in Australia, in Adelaide, and it's cold and wet here and I find it relaxing during the colder months to be creative with my machine or crochet hook and make gorgeous gifts for my family.
