 Hi everybody, Tasha from Start of School Crochet. Welcome to the giveaway, yay! I meant to do this the other day and I didn't quite get to it because I've been super frazzled busy. So I hope everybody understands. So I put together a little slideshow because I've never done that before and Lynette Cousar was teaching me how to do a little bit of spicing up my lives. So I did a slideshow and I found these cute little slides with the little penguins and the polar bears and the snow people. So, but let's get on with it. So I think you can see the first slide. So welcome to the giveaway. I'm gonna go over to giveaway. I did kind of a really, I always forget what I'm supposed to look. I did kind of like a really quick spinner thing. So what I did was I took all of the comments and there's this thing on the internet, the interwebs where you can grab all the comments and then do a spinner wheel. So I asked people to comment on four different posts. I went to each post, excuse me, I went to each post, grabbed the, spun the wheel on each post, grabbed that winner and put that winner in a pool. And then I took the four winners from each of those and then I spun the wheel for those four winners. So the first two winners, I don't have a part one, sorry. The first winner is going to receive a $50 gift certificate to crochet.com. The second winner will get a lifetime membership from me. And the last two, I didn't wanna just have two winners because I wanted everybody to win. It's gonna get a free pattern code from me. So when you see your name as the winner, I want you to leave a comment or message me your email address so I can send you your prices. Because if I don't have your email address, I won't be able to send you your prices. Okay, so let's get on with it. The giveaway announcement. Here are the winners. And I think I messed that slide up and it says here are the winners, but that's okay. So let's see. So here we're gonna do this spin. Now we're gonna do the spin. This goes really quick, y'all. Really quick, like 11 seconds quick. It might have already even gone. Let's see if it lasts. So the first one was already picked. This is picking the second one. So, can it do it already? Technology, forget about it. Let's go back to this. Okay. So the winners are Emily Jean Quinby wins the lifetime membership. I mean, if you are a gift certificate and then Rebecca DeVoe wins my lifetime bundle and those are the two winners, the first two. The second, the third and fourth runner up gets the free pattern and that's Maggie Longshore and Jocelyn Zane. I hope I said that right. The same, the name, that's pretty name. So I wanted to talk to you guys about the Lenox Snow Blanket. This one is a design I did that's in the hidden bundle, in the hidden bundle. And I'm super excited about this one. I wanted to show you the slide. It's going to be free on the blog pretty soon. It's a C2C version and this is a mockup because I'm learning to mock up my patterns so that it will, so they look like crochet, like I crocheted it but honestly, I just didn't have enough time to crochet this blanket, but I wanted to get the pattern out there because I know so many of you guys are just like super, super fast crocheters and but this one I'm definitely going to be making. I just need to find the time. I'm thinking I might turn this one into a, what you call it, wall hanging too. So I just wish I had a thousand hands like and a thousand, I wish I had a thousand hands to crochet everything with. So this one's coming out soon and it's going to be part of, it's a part of the Hidden Treasures Block Hop so you can get that with the bundle. You can get it early if you want it but it won't be released until later on next week. So that's an exciting one. The next slide, I wanted to show you guys some of the awesome Jingle All the Way submissions that have come in and people working on it. Not a lot of people are working it right now because it's everybody's busy, which is understandable but I'm just happy that people sent them in and I think but I messed up the name on that tally one. It's not two tannies. Sorry about that. Oh, I think I'm missing the slide. Done it. Hold on one second. Something more quick. Oh darn, well it took out one of my slides. I'll just have to put it in the comments below but there were two more pictures of the buses and they were really cute. Hey, I wonder if I could pause this morning. All right, well let's go on. The Hidden Treasures Block Hop, so that's happening now where you get three patterns. You can see there's the let it snow and all the different patterns that are coming up. So far we're on day four and you can see up in the little, I can't really point up there. Let's see, it's not really working. The Polar Capolette is today's pattern and that's by y'all at this point. I'm pleased right now. Some days I work or I can talk to me if I can. Molina Straight of Straight Hook, that's her Polar Rush Capolette. Am I saying that right? Cape Lit, Cape Lit or Capolette? How do you say that? Please let me know, because I don't know. I used to pronounce it something completely different. This is ADB y'all, sorry. Okay, so the Hidden Treasures you'll find under the Xbox the spot with a little crochet like that. When you see one of those graphics in the hop you're gonna click on it and it will give you an extra treasure like a free pattern, a discount, things like that. There were some trouble the past couple of days with the downloading and stuff like that but don't worry, I appreciate everybody who sent out the messages that they couldn't get out or they were having trouble downloading. So I went through and for everybody who purchased the bundle I created a how to do it kind of set by step process and then also on the ice crystals in me I also did a step by step on how to because if you've already been a member of the infinite universe and you go to log in it'll just give you an error and what you need to do is you need to verify your email address. So if you verify it, it'll automatically just log you in then go and change your password, make sure that you remember your password or save it to your computer and then you'll be able to log in and access your patterns anytime you want. So I hope that helps. So let's see what's coming up next is the sweet comments everybody left. So Emily Jean Quimby said so cute and these are the comments that comment pictures were really cool by the way. And then Rebecca DeVoe said hi, thanks for the great patterns and ideas. It's so fun to have connection to other hookers. Huffers. And then Jocelyn Zame, Zamey, I hope I said that right. Then hello from New Zealand. It was a lovely day here today. I live in a retirement village and today our busy needles group. That's a cute name. Met up. Everyone brings a craft project to work on. Today I was making a Christmas doggy coat. That sounds cute too. I was crocheting but others were knitting. Sometimes there is even a quilt maker making or working on her beautiful quilts. One of the ladies brought, brought banana cake for the afternoon tea. It was a fun afternoon for all. That sounds just delightful. Thanks for sharing that, Jocelyn. Because that just sounds really nice. And I would love to go to New Zealand someday. I love Lord of the Rings movies and they filmed it all in New Zealand. And those are just, it's just a beautiful, beautiful place. And then Maggie Longshort said, pretty. So those are the comments you guys left and I appreciate those. Thanks everybody too because it really made Facebook happy. It makes Facebook happy when you comment on things. And that's kind of why I did it because I thought, well, I want to make Facebook happy and I want to make everybody happy. So that was the perfect way to do it. And then let's see what's next. Oh, wait, I think that I missed this one. No, I didn't. Okay, there we go. So tomorrow, Joe's Crafty Hook is having a snowman crochet along in the crochet along with us group. And this is a snowman wall hanging and it's December 5th to the night, which is awesome. It's coming up very soon, next tomorrow. So if you guys want to have another fun crochet along, take part in Joe's Crafty Hooks crochet along in our crochet along with us group. That's where this is. And if you're not in the group yet, you can just join. Head on over and request to join. And there's lots of members in there and we're always chatting and talking about what to do in the crochet along. So yeah, I'm excited about that. I love wall hangings. I really want to do more of those. So that's it, you guys. And happy Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas to everybody out there. I hope you're all enjoying the weather and your lives and your family. Because I had the greatest time with my grandson yesterday. Or what, yesterday? Yes, it was yesterday. Now it was Friday and then it rolled into yesterday, but we had a good time. The video games and he keeps wanting me to crochet things for him like immediately. And I'm like, that's not how it works. It doesn't happen immediately. He goes, as he was falling asleep, he kept saying, please, just please crochet it for me, Grandma, please. And I was like, Sammy, that's gonna take like three hours for me to do. And he was just like, no, it won't. I promise. I was like, yeah, I don't think so. I know that you don't. Anyway, so that was fun though. And I'm going to crochet up. What he wants me to crochet him is a husky. So I'm going to create a husky pattern for everybody. And for him and for me, it's gonna be fun. I don't know when that's gonna happen, but it's gonna happen. All right, y'all, happy Christmas, merry, happy holidays, merry Christmas. And I hope everybody has a splendid, splendid Sunday evening. Bye, if you have any questions, let me know, put them down in the comments.
