So here goes….OWOH’s Fifth and Final Year
I have been to many of the participating blogs and their creativity has blown me away…I didn’t think I’d have anything to measure up to, but I finally decided on my door prize…
It is an amigurami bear, similar to the ones above.
So now to tell you about me: I have been married for 19 years. I am a fifth grade teacher (10 and 11 year olds) in an urban school district. I love being a teacher and became one later in life and it’s the only thing I’ve ever done that I totally love…My husband and I were not blessed with our own kids, but I have great nieces and nephews…I love to read, crochet, am learning to knit, I bead and love to learn about new places and traveling…yarn makes me very happy…I like day dates with the Hubs…I’m a sci-fi geek! Stargate being my favorite, then Farscape, Star Wars, Star Trek, Xena, Buffy, Dr. Who, etc…..I could go on…I like post-apocalyptic stories….I own two birds. My favorite movies are The Wizard of Oz, Jaws and Pride and Prejudice (I have varied taste!)
So hope you enjoyed your stop and please leave a comment, if you’d like to win a bear….
Edited to add: This ends on February 17 and I will draw a name when I get up in the morning on Feb 18 and notify the winner....
Edited to add: My name is Tammy....Gracey was a name given to me by an online teacher friend I met when she was visiting the States a long time ago...it involved a dark road on Cape Cod, wet dewy grass and trees and a necessary stop on the side of that dark road.....

It's strange to be a follower leaving a normal comment when everyone else seems to have come from OWOH. Maybe I'll check it out. In the meantime I just wanted Ro say I love your bears. Especially the panda. My OH still has his tiny panda from when he was a baby and yours really reminds me of his.
Really lovely giveaway!!!
Oooh... I love amigurumi's, so cute! Someone, somewhere is going to be very happy with your lovely giveaway...I can only dream it's me! :)
OWOH is a great trip around the (blog)world, thanks!

Hello to another Sci-Fi Geek. I really don't watch as much as I use to before I discovered beads! I do enjoy a good read too. I don't have children either, but my dogs are enough for me & I don't have to buy them expensive shoes or send them to college & they might think it, but they can't say NO!
Nice to met you & hope to be able to keep up with you this year.

Hi Tammy,
How lovely to meet you! :)
You surely have a varied taste in movies -- and my taste is equally eclectic. If I had to name just three movies I would choose Tangled, Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider. ;)
I just love amigurami bears -- so sweet! I am sure the bear you will give away is just cute -- thanks for the chance to give the cutie a good new home. :)

I love your bear prize!! I shouldn't be greedy and leave my name because I have two little brown knitted bears that my husband's aunt made for our son. But I love bears and I would treasure yours if I could be so lucky as to win. And I got the answer to my question.....your real name. But you know, Gracey, is a lovely name because long ago my uncle had a girlfriend named Gracie and I thought she was the prettiest, loveliest girl and he broke up with her. He should have checked with me first. LOL!

Those bears are fantastic!
I am trying to teach myself to crochet little creatures. So far, I can only crochet things that go in straight lines, like scarves and blankets. This inspires me to get moving on learning other shapes and techniques! :) Thank you for the giveaway!

Hi Gracey my name is Sharon and Ihale from TN it is so nice to meet you. And yes I am glad you joined because after all a handmade gift is the gift itself not how gorgeous it is or beautiful or whatever it is the fact that you made it and I would be proud to have one of your bears. I have joined you as a follower and I hope we get to chat at one time.
Oh how lovely ... and what a sweet prize! :)
Your blog is wonderful, so I'll very happily add my name to the mix of potential winners! :)
My fifth grade teacher is the one teacher that affected my life the most. I loved her, as a foster child I had a hard time fitting in and she saw my potential and took an interest. I worked in her families store after school and she taught me a work ethic, responsibility, and pride in myself. I will never forget her. I went back and saw her about 14 years ago. She was in her 80's. She remembered me and was so happy that I came to visit.
Thank you for a delightful visit. I also looked at your other blog.
Love the Booga bag.
Thanks for coming by Turn Left at the Pigs, and yes, I will be listing the "Metal Head' earrings haha, this weekend.
