Bloggy giveaway carnival III

**Updated 2/1 - winners have been chosen and you can see the list here** Thank you all for participating! What fun I had reading all of your comments.
This is soo hard to part with so if you don't like it or have tried to convince yourself that you could like it, I'm not offended. I started making this for my little one before we moved 7 months ago and forgot about it until just the other day. Now it's finished and it's too small. I am so bummed but if your little girl can wear it then that's wonderful. It'll fit an 18 month old.

**I am not a professional. While I made the dress mostly with my serger I didn't want to haul it out to finish or to work with the bloomers so there are definitely flaws. If you think that will bother you, please don't comment, I'd hate to think of this adorable dress hanging in the closet**

Can you tell this is hard for me?!

Well, if , after all that, you are interested in winning it then post a comment whether you are a blogger or not and you have to live in the U.S. Just make sure I can email you when it's time to contact the winner on the 1st. Be sure to go back to the carnival for lots more fun giveaways!

Thanks

Came from Rocks in My Dryer.
This dress is adorable. I do not have a baby girl at this time, but I understand your attachment, a few weeks ago we donated the little Cottage toddler bed that both my little girls used. It was hard to let go...but my husband reminded me it will bless someone else. Be encouraged, you will bless someone else. :)

I think your dress is adorable and though it wouldn't fit my little girl right now it will fit her in approx. 6 months -- just in time for summer! I could never sew anything remotely as complex as that so you have my kudos. Thanks for the great giveaway!

BearMN said...

You have a beautiful family! I can totally understand your difficulties in parting with a wonderful and fun piece of clothing. I've been with my sister-in-law when she is packing away clothes outgrown by my niece/god-daughter. Speaking of which, we will be celebrating her first birthday in March and this outfit would make a great gift. Please consider me for your Giveaway.
