Stitching, Exchanges,and Give-aways

I joined the Friday Sew in Night, which was last night. I have wanted to do this for awhile, but I just couldn't find the right blog to sign up. I found it last week and so happy I didn't miss it. I signed up and knew right away what I was going to stitch immediately, my Fairy Dreams by Lavender and Lace. I haven't worked on it for a long time. Here is the picture before I started:

This is the picture just before I went to bed:

I like working on her and I would like to get this one done sometime this year. You may see more of her after my trip to Virginia.

One of my exchanges which I had stitched was received and I got my Sweet Valentine's exchange from Sarah.

Sarah stitched me a beautiful card, and she send 3 Vicki Clayton's silks, A DMC metallic red skein, Heart in Hand Valentine's Bird, a very cute bear kit, a piece of heart fabric and a bag of Lindt milk chocolate eggs, one of my favorites. They are so yummy.
Since she did not receive my parcel yet, i wont show the stitched piece I made for her yet, cause she reads my blog. I can't spoil the surprise. Thank you so much for a wonderful exchange Sarah!
This is the frog I stitched for Marl from Canada. The frog exchange was in memory of Rene, a moderator of i-love-cross-stitch yahoo group, who passed away. The frog was a freebie from Cyberstitchers, design from Lucie Heaton. I left out the words. I liked the frog by itself. I stitched the frog on 14 count Grasshopper aida from Charles Craft.

There a few blog giveaways I want to mention before I go back to my world.
My friend, Sarah(one I just mention), of Craftymoo is having a Spring Giveaway. Some fabrics and threads is a perfect combination for me.

Jennifer, from Feathers in a Nest, is having a Spring Giveaway. She is offering 2 pairs of scissors.

Pine Mountain Designs is having a giveway on a few new spring patterns. They are very pretty.

Don't forget about my giveaway. You need to comment on the post below if you haven't done so yet.

Big 40 Birthday Giveaway

My birthday is on April 21, and I am turning the BIG 40!!! It is so hard to believe I am turning 40 because I sure do not feel old. In my mind, I still feel like I am in my twenties. Age is just a number. I could never understand why people get depressed when their birthday comes around. Age is going to happen and there is nothing you can do about it. Why not just embrace it and celebrate with your family and friends. As you can tell, I am not depressed of turning 40. I am curious what my forties will bring to me. I am hoping for good health and lots of love. And lots of abundance of stitches for my future projects.
I have met so many stitchers through the internet since 2003, i.e. yahoo groups, blogging and Facebook. Turning 40 is a one time thing, I want to celebrate it with all of you. What better way to do that by having a giveaway. I sure hope you like the package I put together. First let me show what this birthday package will contain to intrigue you. Here are the items.
