So as a little Thank You, I am hosting a small giveaway. There are three prizes and there will be three winners. Each winner will get one of the prizes listed.
There will be a total of 3 winners. Each winner will get ONE of the prizes listed. Winners will be chosen at random courtesy of Rafflecopter.com. Winners have 24 hours to claim their prize.

I adore the owl hat! Happy anniversary!!
I am going to have to go with the newborn owl hats. Even though I don't have a baby..I would find a baby to wear that cuteness!
I loved the Minnie Mouse and Mickey mouse hats, they are so cute!
Right now it's baby brain grandma and I've got baby socks on the brain! LOL
And with going to school, it leaves little time for crochet or knitting so it's all small projects I can take along on the bus to and from school. So baby hats, socks, mitts, and anything else that will fit in my overstuffed bag.
