a few notes

First... you still have a few days to enter the giveaways from Sew Mama Sew and Sense & Sensibility.

Second... I admit it. I'm northern-hemisphere-centric. I asked, in my SMS giveaway post, for a comment about something fun you're planning for this summer, and completely did not consider the fact that fully half of the planet is heading into winter right now. I apologize. Feel free, if you live in the southern hemisphere, to tell me something fun you're planning for this winter. Or something fun you did last summer. Or something.

Third... I love what being part of the SMS giveaway does to my blog stats... I laughed when I saw this - all of my normal visitor count ups-and-downs just flattened right out, and one big spike at the end. Of course, I'd have no problem if all y'all decided to keep on visiting :)

Fourth... I've decided to do a small giveaway each day this week. Just for fun, and because I can. Today's gift is a wee Pride & Prejudice themed scrabble tile.  Winner's choice of a pin back or pendant bail. If you want it, leave me a comment telling me something you wish you had done last week.

    Pendant for sure! i am glad I found your blog. I wish I had known about the giveaway spree last week so I could have joined in and had one too. I do have some giveaways but not handmade stuff.

    Pendant for sure! Last week, I wish I would have finished all of the diapers I have sitting on my sewing table... I'm due with a boy in 15 days and I still have so much to do!

    Good luck with all your giveaways!

    I wish I had done more cleaning last week so I don't have to clean this week.

    I really wish that I hadn't eaten all that chocolate as now I'm finding my jeans a little too snug... oh well!

    I love Jane Austin so please count me in - a new pendent would be perfect :-)

    I wish I had put together something to give away for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! I found you there and will absolutely be sticking around. :) My baby refuses to let me wear necklaces, so I choose a pin back.

    I wish I had said no to some of the "volunteer opportunities" that came my way! No joke. I've gotten myself into planning four parties in the next week and a half! I'd love to win that tile with a pendant back. It would make the perfect ribbon bookmark for my Jane Austin collection!

    Yay! And thank you. One down and three to go. They are all school or child related so they are not that difficult but wow, so much work.
