Happy Monday! So far this week has started off great. I just got an email telling me that I'm the winner of the 17 th day of Halloween giveaway hosted by Annette (on odd number days) and Missy (on even numbers). WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO Now that's the way to start off the week. 
The weekend was pretty quiet. Catching up on things like sleep and laundry. And finishing up 
an exchange. One more to go. Speaking of exchanges, my exchange from HoE Halloween exchange arrived Friday. Marie was my partner and she stitched me the cutest Halloween tree design from this years JCS Halloween magazine. She finished it into an ornament and also included a few extras. Three pieces of Halloween fabric, two trims, the pumpkin pattern by JBW (not pictured) and a skein if DMC. Heck, she spoiled me rotten. Thank you so very, very much Marie.

My partner that I sent to in the same exchange was Lily. She received hers last week also. I really like the way this one turned out and may have to stitch this one for myself one day. It is an older freebie. Sorry I can't remember who. I also stitched up another little Halloween freebie and turned it into a little pillow ornament.
The weather was just beautiful on Sunday and with all the Halloween stitching and exchanges I guess I was in a Halloween frame of mind so I used the bright sun as an excuse to try on Rory's Halloween costume and take some photos. What do you think? (Besides that I am some kind of nut case!) Do you think he should be a doggy pirate? Or maybe something else?Well if you made it this far I will make it worth your while. So how about another giveaway? This one is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. DMC's Think Pink needlework 
accessory kit is my Think Pink giveaway.
accessory kit is my Think Pink giveaway.
How about another giveaway? Yes? For the second giveaway I have an extra copy of both the JCS 2010 Halloween issue and this years Christmas issue. So if you haven't gotten yours maybe you will be lucky enough to win them
Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment on this post.
2. State which giveaway you want to enter. The Think Pink or the magazines. You MUST state which giveaway. If you want to be included in both you will need to leave 2 comments. If you don't say which one that I won't include your name. Sorry.
3. Please make sure I can contact you. If your email is not attached to your blog profile than leave it with your comment.
That's it. Easy Peasy. I will choose a winner next Monday morning so you have until midnight Sunday to post your comments.
Until next time...........
Love and stitches
Kathy
and licks from Rory too.

Lovely stitching as always! Your Rory is an angel even though you try to hide him behind pirate costume!
I would love to be entered in your pink giveaway.
I love both your received exchange and the one you made -- both are wonderful! And Rory -- he's so adorable in his costume!!! I can't imagine any of my dogs or our present kitten cooperating long enough to wear such things. Rory is a pip!
I'd love to be entered in the pink giveaway. You're so sweet to do this -- thank you!
Beautiful gifts. Especially as the month of the fight against breast cancer. Please include my name in the Think Pink
Thanks for the opportunity
I love Rory's costume!! That's awesome :) Great exchanges too, aren't they fun to do?
Wonderful giveaways :) Please enter me into your Think Pink drawing. Thank you!

Your exchanges are great...both sent and received!!! I saw Rory's photos on FB and I had to chuckle! He's so precious!!!! His shiny coat is just AWESOME! Would love a chance at the Think Pink drawing....I already have both the magazines!!! Thanks for your generosity!!!
I would love to be included in the Think Pink giveaway. I haven't found in locally, but since there aren't any cross stitch stores...
Rory is so sweet; I really look forward to your pictures of him. Thanks for sharing!
That ornament is just fantastic and the witch shoes are cute too. Rory is as usual just a doll, he looks so proud of himself in that hat. More power to ya for getting him to wear it.
Kathy, I just love Rory as a Pirate, he is such a good sport!!!
Love your exchange pieces, both are wonderful.
I would love to be entered in "think pink"
THanks, Roberta
How fun, Kathy! Can I be entered in the Stitch Pink giveaway, please??? :-) BTW, I think Rory is adorable as a pirate!
Thanks for your generosity. I would love to be entered in the Think Pink giveaway. Congrats on your giveaway wins. I bet it feels great.
I would also like to be entered in the magazine giveaway. Thanks so much.
I would let Rory wear whatever costume he chooses- I can't believe he lets you put a pirate hat AND an eye patch on him! He must be so gentle!
Very nice Halloween exchange finishes!
Please enter me in the giveaway for the magazines, I haven't seen the christmas ornie issue over here yet. Thank you!
Fantastic giveaway! I love the Think Pink. Seems like everything is coming up pink this month. Your dog is so patient to be dressed up for Halloween. He's adorable.
I'm not entering the giveaway Kathy, but wanted to say how fantastic your exchanges sent/received are :)
I love Rory's Pirate look!
Your exchanges both sent & received are beautiful! I
would love to be entered in
your Think Pink drawing.
Kathy you are a very kind & generous stitching friend! Thank you!

First, Rory is adorable as a pirate! Definitely go with that one. I can't believe he's so patient and leaves it on. My cat would be doing gymnastics trying to get the stuff off. :)
Please enter me for the Think Pink drawing. I got the email from DMC about it but can't afford to buy stuff like that right now. I get JCS so I'm good on the mags already. How nice of you to offer 2giveaways! :)

The two gifts are great, but I would like to participate in the think pink
Thanks for the chance.
Greetings
Rory is looking sooo good, love the last photo, with his pirate hat slipping to one side. Real Johnny Depp look there Rory.
The Think Pink give away, I think.
And seeing as you are making me comment twice :D
The magazine give away, as well. The Christmas issue still hasn't really reached Aussie shores yet, or I just haven't looked hard enough.
I meant to ask how far of his title is Rory, remembering I don't really understand the US system

Hi, Kathy, Not posting to win either of the give-aways. Just wanted to say that I think your dog looks really cool in his pirate hat! I have a 16-month old Chesapeake Bay retriever and I could never get a hat on her, much less keep it on! Cindy
Good evening Kathy! Doesn't Rory look dashing in his pirate getup? Do I spy a little bit of Elvis in one of his pictures?!?!? LOL I would love to be considered for the Think Pink Draw. My mother had to have a double masectomy and I am sure that this will pick her up her spirits!!! Thank you and keep blogging!

Rory's Halloween costume is perfect, Kathy--so cute! I'll bet he'll be getting lots of treats this Halloween, won't he?
I'd love to be entered into your Think Pink giveaway--thanks so very much :)
Kathy, Thanks for the giveaway. I'd love to be in your drawing for the magazines. I don't have either one, and would be thrilled if I won...
Thanks!
Rory has gotten so big! Great exchanges. I have stitched "if the broom fit - fly" LOL! Congrats on your winnings.
Please enter me in the giveaway for the magazines, Kathy. I have been looking high and low for the Halloween issue. Love your finishes and Rory's costume! My kids beg me every year to dress our dogs but given the expense of doggie costumes and my dogs' tremendous talent for destruction I decline as I'm sure any costume would end up in tatters.
lovely ornaments. Cute pics of Rory, especially with the pirate hat.
I'd like to be entered in the magazines give-away. Thanks
Lovely stitching!
I'd love to be entered in both your drawings.
And this one's for the second one.
Love Rory in his pirate hat.
I'd like to be entered for the pink draw please
Hi Kathy

Beautiful exchange pieces! Lucky you. :)
