Kicking off!

Ok Ladies (and Gents!), it's time to kick off Christmas In July with Our Mama Sews!

We skipped the first few days to allow everyone to enjoy the Independence Day weekend with your family! Hope you had a blast! We sure did!
There will be prizes awared for participation, so those of you that have been e-mailing me instead of posting comments, or who have been hiding in the woodwork, it's time to come out and play! There will be a prize given here every Friday in July; some of them are smaller, and some are really nice!

I had planned on making this a sew along with prizes only awarded for making the featured project, but then decided that you may or may not need to make an advent calender for each of your kiddos! LOL!

So....you are free to make ANYTHING Christmas related (even Christmas gifts!). You MUST, however, e-mail, blog, or link in comments about your project, and give me permission to share with everyone else to qualify for the big prize given at the end of the month!

To qualify for the smaller prizes (which are surprises in themselves!), just make a comment under any post this week, and I will draw at the end of the week.

RULES:
1. 1 entry per person in comments, per day
2. Earn an extra entry by blogging/e-mailing/sharing photos of your project and posting another comment that day telling me this and make yourself eligible for the main prize at the end of the month.

So to re-cap....

If you are just following along and want to wish us good luck and Christmas Cheer....just comment with us to earn a chance to win.

If you are excited about getting a head start on Christmas this year with decor, gifts and more, leave a comment, go do your craft, and share it with us! You'll be qualified for the big giveaway at then end of the month!
