It's that time of year again to give a gift to someone special at Christmas time. I wish I could give each and every one of readers here a pair but one pair is what I can give this year.
With this giveaway, you will be the first to have my Downton Abbey design with instructions pack.
Of course the scissors are 4 inch Jennifer series by Ginghers!!!! Here is a pic below:
Brand new, 4 inch with leather sheath
I found this while digging out the tons of decorations this year. I guess I was going to put a small motif in it for someone and didn't get the time.
Well, the time has come to find one.
Thinking of seriously putting a beautiful cross in it.
My other half and Miss Abbie who loves her some Mr. Darcy too, is sporting her Christmas dress from last year.
She loves to sit on his shoulder like a bird. :0
Speaking of Abigail Fox
yup, I'm determined to teach myself to either crochet or knit, OR BOTH!!! in this year 2013.
I took a knitting class a few years ago but gave up when I got home and couldn't figure out my mistake. HOWEVER, there's always second chances if we put our heart into it, whatever it is........
I do think I'm going to use a more contrasting yarn color for my beginner piece. I had picked this color up for a friend who is going to be a grandma to twins! I wanted to make the babies a blanket as they just found out both are boys! And they have 2 brothers at home waiting on them.
But I have some nice deep cranberry and dark teal that I can use for maybe a simple scarf to practice on first.
Someone from the big Christmas party, Mr. Darcy and I attended put this on my desk. They had taken a pic of us when we visited Santa. I will let the scene speak for itself. LOL
So 12 more days till Christmas.
You know the rules for the giveaway......
1) only post on THIS POST your comment or comments as a follower for one chance THEN
2) post a second time if you shared it on your blog
3) if your name is Jennifer too, then you get an automatic 3rd chance
4) for 4 chances post again, with your favorite character in Downton Abbey!
international readers welcome to enter

You will get
1) brand new and rare/hard to find Jennifer Gingher series 4in scissors in box with leather sheath

ReplyDeleteOoh boy I do love these giveaways. Please enter me in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! I would love to be included in the fun. Unfortunately I haven't seen Downton Abbey so I can't name a favourite character. I've asked for the previous seasons for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this opportunity.
This is my second entry for the giveaway. I have posted it under my Giveaway column on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your give-away, the scissors are beautiful and I'm really interested in the pattern! I'm here if you need any encouragement/patterns, especially for knitting. I like to crochet too, but lately it has been cross stitch and knitting. Merry Christmas, and I love to read your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! I have become hooked on Downton Abbey. My favorite character is Lady Mary and a close second favorite is Matthew Crawley. If I win, I would like you to pick a 2nd name and send the scissors to another lucky stitcher! Wishing you and Mr. Darcy a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Jennifer, thank you so much for the beautiful giveaway! I'll be honest and say I've been ogling those particular scissors since first seeing them and I love Downton Abbey even though I've only watched the 1st season on Netflix due to schedule conflicts.
ReplyDeletePlease enter my name in your giveaway!
Jennifer, I have also posted your giveaway on my own blog for others to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Downton Abbey character is Lady Sybil Crawley, I just like her particularly
