"Countdown To The Holidays" - November 3, 2014 Edition


Good morning! It is a beautiful morning here in the northeast. The temperatures have dropped and it is certainly a great time to cuddle under the quilts this time of the year.


We continue our "Countdown To The Holidays" event this week. First we have two winners to announce. The first winner is Beth T. from the October 20th Edition of the event and the second winner is Lisa Hill from the October 23rd Edition of "Countdown To The Holidays."

This week we are giving away a fabulous bundle of "Flannel Essentials 8" by The Buggy Barn. This soft flannel bundle includes some of the prints from the collection along with a panel.
