It's Giveaway Day plus 500th Post Giveaway

Twice a year this fabulous event happens and it is now time for the Spring 2014 edition of Giveaway Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew.
It is a blast to hop around to see what everyone is giving away and to enter to hopefully win one or two myself.  It is a giant quilting and sewing party via the internet and of course I want to part of it.

I looked through my goodies and to one lucky winner I will be sending this half yard bundle of Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.
But wait! I'm hosting not one giveaway but two. Why? To celebrate of course.  You see, when I logged into my blog to write this post I noticed that this post is my 500th.  Not bad I think for this 2 1/2 year old blog of mine. It would be a sin to not make this an even bigger party so this is the 2nd prize up for grabs.
It is a copy do Simply Fat Quarters and a charm pack of Costume Clubhouse.

A what should I have you do to enter? It's simple.

Just leave me one comment about what your summer vacation plans are this year.

My followers get a 2nd entry.  Just tell me how you follow. I love watching the Google Friend Connect number grow.

That's it. Two chances to win.
The entries will remain open until midnight, Friday May 16th and the winner will be drawn over the weekend.

A huge thank you goes out to Sew Mama Sew for again hosting this Giveaway Day and don't forget to check out all of the other blogs hosting giveaways too. Maybe it will be your lucky day.

PS - On normal posts, I try to respond to each and every comment but on giveaway posts I unable to due to the high number of comments.

282 of you added your own colorful comments:

I want to go camping. I love cooking outdoors, relaxing in lawn chairs and lookin up at the stars. Just to get away and enjoy your loved ones. Just helps to erase the stress from everyone. You are certainly in a generous mood to share these awesome giveaways with all of us. Just need to figure out how to win. It is such a great feeling to receive a goodie box in your mailbox. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway.
