Yep, goodies!
This year I've gone all novelty for the giveaway -
Three US fat quarters of Geekly Chic - cassettes in blue, glasses in yellow and records in grey - and 2m each of cream and white grosgrain tape measure ribbon.
Even if novelty fabrics aren't normally your thing, they are useful additions to your stash for use in Bees or, in this case, for those retro pressies (particularly for men). And, they could be free and sent direct to you.
So, there you have it, a little blogiversary giveaway. To be able to win you need to leave me a comment and I'd like to know what your favourite festive song (carol, secular or silly) is, just out of curiosity. I can only accept one comment per person, so in case of duplicate entries only your first will be valid. Please include an email address if you are a no-reply blogger or I will have to redraw.
Giveaway is open internationally and entries close 15.00 GMT Saturday 21 December 2013.
Just so you know, my favourite Carol is 'O Holy Night' - the music and lyrics are so beautiful and evocative. For sillies we love 'I want a hippopotamus for Christmas' by Gayla Peevey. It's just nonsense really and think it's a favourite just because it was played by our local radio station for a few years when DS was little and it stuck. If you don't know it, you should google it.
Right, get commenting peeps!
Congratulations Sarah - 3 years is brilliant! My favourite song is Joy to the World, but as far as silly songs go it has to be The Twelve Days of Christmas Aussie version by Colin Buchanan!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversery! My favorite carol is, also, "O Holy Night." Thanks for the chance to win ...:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, an achievement blogging for 3 years. I always love Silent Night at carols - thanks
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My favourite song is Silent Night.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I love "Grown Up Christmas List" and "The Christmas Shoes"
ReplyDeleteWow, three years, congratulations! I hope to be reading your blog for many more too. I am a bit stumped on the song, I tend to like all the holiday songs equally, but Elvis is singing then I like them even better.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary, favourite carol id In the bleak mid winter, followed closely by O Holy Night. Chris Rea driving home for christmas always makes me feel christmas is near but there are so many I like
ReplyDeleteI won your 1st blogiversary giveaway! My favourite Christmas song is Chris Rea, driving home for Christmas. Well done on 3 years x
ReplyDeleteWell done on 3 years.....I love I holy night too, but also hark the herald angels sing. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on three years of blogging! For singing in a carol service I love Silent Night, accompanied by guitar as the first performance of it was. On the radio I love Gaudete by SteelEye Span, although I have heard a new version of it this year by Eurasure which is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteWow! Where has the time gone?! What a fab giveaway to celebrate :) Hark the Herald Angels is one of my faves. For the silly factor it has to be Grandma got run over by a Reindeer :) thanks for the chance to win xx
ReplyDeleteOooh, it has to be The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl with Fairytale of New York for me! Little Donkey if we are talking carols though. My nearly 3 year old has been singing it here and there in readiness for his preschool nativity (he's a sheep). Congratulations on 3 years and thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope I'm still going in three years! My favorite carol is 'i orwedd mewn preseb' (to lie in a manger) and I love 'it's Christmas! ) by slade x
ReplyDeleteHere's to the next three years for you. My favourite Christmas tune is "Stop The Cavalry" by Jona Lewie - it has just a hint of Christmas in it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sarah. My favourite carol is O Come, O come Emanuel I think it is because it is in a minor key.
ReplyDeleteDi x
I do have a great fondness for Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. Happy Blogiversary! 3 years, well done! Here's to many more. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blog birthday. My favourite carol is "Love Came Down At Christmas", we sung it at our wedding on 22 Dec many many years ago. Not a traditional carol (the congregation struggled somewhat but we liked it)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogiversary!!! My favourite is Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas" closely followed by Jona Lewie's "Stop the Cavalry" (love the horns!!) and the wonderful Ronettes version of "Sleigh Ride." You can't beat singing those "ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding-dong-DING"s at full volume. Or is that just me? Carol wise? I have a real soft spot for Little Donkey and Once in Royal David's City. All those great childhood songs! Ooh, and We Three Kings!!!! I could go on all day...
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks very much- I like White Wine in the Sun, Tim Minchin's Christmas song.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your blogerversary! This is amazing and the FQ are just cool. Everyone needs some fabrics in the stash for men :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song at the moment - and I sing it with the kids - is "Es wird scho glei duampa". The most silly songs are the ones the kids sing coming home from school. I usually forget them as these are to many to remember.
Hi Sarah, congratulations on blogging for three years. My favorite carol is Silent Night, the sound of it sung by a choir makes me cry! When my sister and I were little we used to do "turns" for the family and one Christmas we did "Donald, Where's Your Trousers". I hadn't thought of it in years and then one of the radio 2 DJ's played it on Children in Need day and I was small all over again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love the pull for your giveaway! My favorites festive songs are Little Drummer Boy and O Christmas Tree...
ReplyDeletePa Rum Pa Pum Pum!
Congratulations Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI love the song from the Snowman - is it 'Walking in the Air'????
Happy Blogaversary!! I hope you had a special cake, all birthdays need cake. My favourite Christmas carol is Silent Night, and I can't resist young children singing away in a Manger. Thanks for a fun giveaway.

ReplyDeleteWell done on 3 years! I always enjoy your posts! My favourite song this year is "Driving home for christmas" by Chris Rea, and for a silly one Frank Kellys 12 days of christmas goes unbeaten :)!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be blogging many years to come and thank you for a chance to win this lovely fabric.
Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear The Waitresses 'Christmas Wrapping' I know it's time to shop for sugared almonds and start craving marzipan!
Thanks for the chance xxx
Happy third! i love the little drummer boy, thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway, Sarah. Just so you know, my favourite carol is 'Three Kings from Persian lands afar', and I have a little soft spot for ' Stop the cavalry', as a non carol!
ReplyDeleteoooh! I am starting to think Marzipan-ing the Christmas cake... You are getting me in the mood at last!
You may have another bloggiversary, next year too! well done!
Oh my, which song! I think I will pick "all I want for Christmas" as I learned to ballroom dance on it ( jive ) with my brother. It reminds me of fun family times with my siblings and friends at the danceschool.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogaversary! Happy holidays!
