Announcing the new host and a Giveaway

Hello Everyone,

I will be your new host for this blog. If there are any questions you have regarding anything please send me an email. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you. This is my first attempt at being a host of a blog. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I hope we can do many fun things together.

I will tell you a few things about me. My name is Carolyn and I am married to Bill. We have been together since 1991. We have one son William who turned 18 in September. We have two cats Kineo who is 6 years old and Mookie who is 2 years old.

My favorite thing to do is cross stitch. I've been stitching for 20 years and I don't want to stop. I also enjoy riding my bike, reading, listening to music, watching Nascar, football, and baseball.

I want to give a big "Thank You" to Angela for putting this blog and idea together and allowing me the opportunity to continue. If there are any questions that I can't answer she has graciously offered her service if needed. I hope I can fill her shoes.

I would like to start off with a giveaway. I have an extra copy of the 2013 Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments Magazine. If anyone is interested please leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner on Tuesday October 29th. I will mail in the USA and Internationally. Good Luck to All!

Hugs and Happy Stitching, Carolyn

Anyone want to take over this blog?

Hi RAK Members

I am looking for someone to take over this blog for me.  Please email me if you are interested.  I just don't have the time for stitching or blogging anymore but I really want to see the kindness continue on without me.

Thanks,
Angela

Snow Belles!

I have just put my last stitches in the Lizzie Kate Snow Belles charts. To celebrate my finish, I would like to gift someone the set of six. If you're interested in stitching the this series, please leave a comment on this post, and when I get a chance to go to the post office I will randomly surprise someone.

Thank you Gracie

Hello everyone

Just popping in to say hello and introduce myself.  I'm Sue and I live in Derbyshire with DH and our three cats, we've been married for 35 years today, all of them lovely. We've three daughters, four grandchildren and another due on September 10th.

Other than cross stitch I love my garden, like to read, knit, bake and I sometimes have a dabble at making cards.

Looking forward to getting to know you all, it's amazing that there are still blogs out there that I've not found before which is a nice surprise as I love to see what other stitchers are sewing.

Best wishes,

Sue x

Missing RAKs

Hi, I was a bit late sending out my RAKS and I see from my many mails this morning that some of you have changed addresses...and I know I sent out to at least one of you which an altered addy!

Please please can you double check re: your last addy.  Carolyn especially!!!!!!!!!!

The winner of the 2013 JCS Halloween Ornament Magazine is...

Hello to all, I had my husband draw a name last night.

The winner is....

Congratulations Gracie...I will be sending you an email shortly to get the magazine in the mail to you as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who took part. I will be having another giveaway soon.

Temporary Address Change/Group Changes Too!

Hi RAK Members!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am having to get all of my mail re-directed once again due to construction issues at my building.  I'll be sending out a new Member List later on tonight with my temporary address.  If you want to mail out any RAK's to me for the remainder of this year can you please use the temporary address.  Sorry for any confusion :)

I've made a few changes to the group.  I will continue to be hosting this blog and any future requests to join should still be sent to me (Angela) at apxstitch at gmail dot com.  It is no longer a requirement to send out the one RAK in the first year of joining this blog.  It's too confusing to keep track of it and it defeats the purpose of this blog which is to share kindness with others as you choose to.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Just Cross Stitch 2013 Halloween Magazine Giveaway!

Hello Everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in the latest JCS 2013 Halloween Magazine? I will mail to the USA and Internationally. Just leave your name on this post and I will choose a winner on Tuesday August 13, 2013. Good Luck!

Hugs, Carolyn
