Thank you to everyone who took their time to leave comments.  Hopefully I'll have some time to sit and read them all soon. 

Thank you to everyone who posted about the 30 Days of Giveaways for IHAN's First Anniversary Celebration.  We could not have done it without you!!!

The work of organizing the randomization was mine.  The Random Number Generation and selecting of the winners was thanks to Mr. McSteamy (he does not know anyone's names so it was all done on the up and up).

To claim your prize you must e-mail IHaveANotion@yahoo.com and in the subject line write "I Won."  Please include your Name, Address, Phone Number and what you won in the e-mail.  That will save me a lot of time and I really need that right now:)

Big Smiles,
Kelly

What is in the Grand Prize for the IHAN 30 Days of Giveaways

Grand Prize
for
30 Days of Giveaways at I Have A Notion
First Anniversary Celebration

Isn't it  odd that no one asked exactly what was in the Grand Prize?  I did talk about a few of the items....but I never told anyone what was in the Grand Prize.  Trust is a major component of having a successful business and I thank each and every one of you for that gift.  I don't take it for granted.

Before I share what is in the Grand Prize, I would like to share with everyone why I decided to host the 30 Days of Giveaways.  This is a portion of the letter I sent to some of the people who have made the last year of my life so interesting and rewarding. 
"I Have A Notion" is having it's First Year Anniversary on March 21st, 2010. I want to celebrate by sharing with the blogging community about all of the wonderful people, designers, authors, artists, companies and products that I have been privileged to encounter this past year. So if you are getting this letter, I chose you/your company because I really like your products or designs and I want to share my great experiences with others. Even if you are not able to participate, I want you to know that I truly appreciate doing business with you. Thank you for one of the best years of my life!!!
Every word of that statement is completely true. This has been on of the best years of my life for me personally. I have met so many incredible people here at the IHAN blog. If you don't end up winning a physical prize....please don't overlook all the people who you now have the opportunity to interact with.....they are the true gifts, more valuable than any material object!!!

The Grand Prize idea really belongs to Iris Karp from Attached, Inc.  She agreed to send three large packages of Mistyfuse, one for each week, and an 100 yard roll for the Grand Prize.  How could I say no.....so thank Iris for the idea not me :)

Contents of the Grand Prize

Mistyfuse White 12in x 100yds 
from Attached, Inc.

Jewel Tone Mini Paintstiks
and Snowflake Stencils
from Cedar Canyon Textiles
I specifically saved these for the Grand Prize because I love Shiva Paintstiks from Cedar Canyon Textiles.  I "gently borrowed" these photos from the  Cedar Canyon Blog.  Look what Shelly Stokes is making with the Snowflake Stencils:


Who would not want to be able to embellish quilt blocks, clothing, hand bags, and even suitcases with Shiva Paintstiks?  I honestly think these are awesome for the artistically challenged folks like me.  I can be successful and make things that look awesome even though I can't draw a decent stick figure (100% truth).  Cedar Canyon Textiles also has a Learning Center that answers all of your questions.

High Expectations for the Winners of the IHAN 30 Day of Giveaways

I may have forgotten to inform all the IHAN Blog readers that I have high expectations for the Winners of the IHAN 30 Day of Giveaways.  Oops....just a small detail.  Well, I'm still working on the post and I have no idea how many hours I've spent going through entries and then drawing the winners.  The post is in the process of being written....I should have it done a few more hours or sooner.  No worries....that leaves everyone more time to enter the 32nd Days of Giveaways for the Sew Red Silk Dupioni Collection from Brewer Quilting and Sewing :)

Please take the time to watch this entire video....not just the beginning....so you know what I expect of you if you should win!!! 



ROFL!!!  Video compliments of my friend Dana :)

Smiles,
Kelly
