This thank you is way overdo! I have appreciated your support for my crochet work whether it be via your compliments, your comments, and/or your purchases. Selling publicly was a BIG, BIG step for me. Unbeknown to you, I used the profit from my Etsy sales to give an additional donation to my church for the building of a beautiful youth center. This wonderful facility was completed this past year. Many students from our community enjoy fellowship there and hear the gospel of God's love for them. Thank you so much!
As a small token of how much I appreciate you, I would like to give away this crocheted afghan made in cheerful cottage colors. It's a small size to keep your lap warm or decorate your cottage.
Some extra goodies will be added to it too.
To put your name in the hat, just leave a comment in this post. If you don't have a blog identity, you must leave an email address. I will keep the drawing open until Thursday, November 12; midnight, EST.Again, thank you for your visits and comments.
I couldn't have done this without you!

Hi Laura
Your afghan is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours! As much as I would love to enter your draw - being in Canada, the postage would be too much :-)I was just looking at your flickr pics of your gorgeous cats & smiling at the extra toes :-) so cute!!
That is so cheery and pretty! My grandmother taught me to crochet but I've never been very good at it. Everything is lopsided, and I never seem to finish!

Your work is beautiful! The hat you made gets so many compliments whenever my granddaughter wears it-she can now pass it along to her sister who will receive just as many compliments! To know that you have shared your talents with your church makes it extra special!!
beautiful color combinations!
Thank you for the opportunity!
A wonderful post and oh so lovely afgan. I would love to be added into your giveaway! natalie jo
What your doing is a wonderful thing. It is so important for our teens to have somewhere to go, someplace they feel comfortable. I know if it was not for Teen Challenge my daughter might not be alive. She went from an angry young woman to someone who wishes to give back to god and serve others. God bless you!

I also love making grannies, have 1 in progress to fit my queen size bed, just have to (sigh) sew it together. Your crochet work is beautiful, and so is the new youth center :) Please enter me in your giveaway as I love the colors in your sweet blanket.
