Yay...It's Giveaway Day!

Edit: Thank you for dropping in...Sorry, comments now closed!
Will announce the winner tomorrow am,
Good Luck!


TGIM!

Huh??? Did I just say that?
Grateful it's a MONDAY?!

Ahhh... but not just any Monday,
Today is officially


(yes I was shouting that!)

Sew Mama Sew is graciously collecting and compiling and hosting all of the hundreds (250 so far!) of participants so that you, dear reader can go off blissfully guided into blogger land, and hopefully, score some awesome handmade goodness!

Now before you stampede out of here in all your unbridled excitement....

Did you know that Choochmagooz is participating too?!
Did I already tell you that?!
I did?!

So quit stalling, shut up and show us the goods already huh?!
I mean really...teasing you all on a Monday...
Heartless!

Okay...So..I can't exactly show you a picture of our Giveaway except this teenie sneak peak. Not because I'm being secretive, but because one dumbnut mother keeps forgetting to photograph the items she makes for birthday gifts. So you'll have to trust me on this one. It's seriously Cute! (if I do say so myself)



One lucky reader, follower,...lovely person, will win a personalized children's cape. Good for all sorts of excellent adventuring! The cape will fit from age 2 - 6. And as I will be making this custom please specify if you would like the cape either for a boy or a girl?!

Now, How do you get you're hands on the goods?

1) Leave a comment below telling me your greatest pet peeve (it is Monday afterall)

For extra entries
(please leave a separate comment for each)

1-become a follower or subscriber of my humble Blog, Choochmagooz

2-Like us on FaceBook (that sounds so rubbish...I really did prefer it when you just became a fan)

3-Pop into the flickr gallery, have a snoop then return and let me know what item is your favorite

That's 4 chances to win my friends!
Buena Suerte!

Choochmagooz Giveaway is open until May 20th and Internationally!
and please please please remember to leave an email address
so I can contact you if you've won! (not spam you, got no time for that!)

My greatest pet peeve would be what I call slinkying. When people hint about something instead of coming right out and asking!

If I do win, Kenton would love the cape, if not...maybe in a b-day package. Luv ya Lots, Miss ya More, big XOXO's for JoJo, and to the fhubby (if he ever gets home).

Serena said...

I'm not very good at grammar, but when people misuse its/it's, your/you're, and their/there/they're it drives me bonkers!

Life on 4th Ave said...

That is SO CUTE, If I won, It would be going to my little nephew! My pet peeve is starting something and working my little butt off on it and then have someone slide in and be like here is something and then my work goes to the trash.

Arnden said...

My son would love a cape. What a wonderful give away idea!

Sarah said...

:) What a lovely giveaway. Thanks for letting me vent.

aSprinkling said...

Yay! Something that my boy could win!

One of my pet peeves is when I do something completely dumb in the middle of sewing a project. You know...the kind that you knew better than do but your brain just skipped a beat?

JenR said...

My little girl would Love to have a cape! Thank you for the chance to win one!

JenR said...

Just perused your Flickr... The Princess crown is stinkin' adorable! And the Princess Penelope and her elusive prince paintings are wonderful!

JenR said...

I just became a follower. And because I forgot to put it in my first comment, one of my biggest pet peeves: people eating/chewing with their mouth open.

Anonymous said...

What a cute idea...I would like for it to be for a boy...he has 2 sisters and needs boy dress up clothes....haha...my biggest pet peeve is people that are late or when I am late. To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late...:)

My son would love a new cape, his old one has gotten...let's say loved.

kathy said...

My great-niece would love this cape. Her mom was totally against anything pink for this kidlet but the kidlet won out, so small touches of pink are allowed.
Pet Peeve would be having to go back to work this afternoon.
All of the fairy equipment on your site is fantastic.

Bethany said...

my biggest pet peeve is when people say that their dog is thier child. "Here is my son, or my little girl is so cute." As one with REAL children that is kinda insulting!!

Cricket said...

Can entitlement a pet peeve? I just can't stand when people act as though they deserve something better than other people, or deserve special treatment, or should be able to disregard others.

My girls would LOVE a cape. Actually, if I win, I might have to custom order another one from you. Two kids + one cape = trouble.

Cricket said...

I definitely love your little wooden village. They're just right for pretend play without being restrictive as to purpose.

Cricket said...

Oh and I *like* you, you know. ;)

Cricket said...

Hyprocrisy. I looooathe it. I darn near twitch when I see it. Especially in my own family! ack!

Just checked out your flickr page... gotta say, Wilber Whale is my favorite!

Maude said...

I would love to win this cape for a special little girl. One of my biggest pet peeves is reading a magazine passed along from someone, and finding a page or article that I'm interested in ripped out!

Lena said...

Pet peeve, when my kids don't listen when I'm talking to them

Vesuviusmama said...

My children, who dress up daily, would absolutely LOVE a cape! My pet peeve is preparing a meal and realizing I am missing a key ingredient. I don't like to cook, so if I am actually motivated enough to do it, I don't want anything to stand in my way. And since we live on a dead-end dirt road on the side of a mountain, I can't just pop over to the market to get said missing item. Sorry, kids, cereal for dinner AGAIN!

alli b said...

I'm a follower. Lovely blog.
hmm. pet peeve - the tiniest of drops of milk left in the container just so the person doesn't have to say they drank it all. Horrible when you've poured a bowl of cereal & get it just wet enough to be unsalvagable. argh.

Crunchy Sews said...

My biggest pet peeve is poor spelling.

Raweth said...

What a lovely idea! My biggest pet peeve at the moment is the fact that people seem to think they can say anything to a pregnant woman. Would you tell someone you don;t know that they look huge? No. I'm pregnant, so I'm going to be round. And I don't appreciate you reminding me! Grrr. Sorry, 7 months pregnant, and super-sensitive. :D

Ariane said...

What a wonderful giveaway. My biggest pet peeve is when boys pee on the toilet seat. It really bugs me. Thanks for the chance to win.

Kelly O. said...

right now my biggest pet peeve is having to type a word in on every blog that is doing a SMS giveaway--i'm whiney--I know :)

M and E said...

I have so many pet peeves, it is hard to choose just one! But I hate it when people touch me with their feet. Even my husband and kids! It grosses me out!

Katherine said...

My pet peeve is having to ask people repeatedly to do things. Things like, oh say, the dishes or taking out the trash...

stella said...

Lines...not waiting in them but being in line with people who think they are too good to wait or do not have personal space issues. I live in Colombia, but I'm from Texas....please I shouldn't feel your breath.

Kristen said...

I love your applique with your outline stitch. I do that with my journals.

My little man will always be my superhero.

Texting while driving. Seriously!!???

Unknown said...

I would so love to win a cape for my 2 year old. We recently made a big move from CA to TN and did not take much as we sold our van and car and flew here. I brought capes for my daughter and oldest son but somehow left my 2 year old's cape behind. His birthday is in August and I was already planning to make him one by then if possible. I have four children, the youngest turned 5 months today. Thanks for the opportunity! Kristie

Unknown said...

sloooow drivers!

bethanndodd said...

I took a look at your flickr pics and don't laugh but I REALLY love the Dance Ribbon Ring thingies...they remind me of watching the Olympics when I was little girl.

djaj said...

Hum, pet peeve...
At home, when back home from work, when my sweetheart asks "what's for dinner tonight ?"

Eleanor said...

Cathy said...

Pet peeve? Hmmm, probably when socks hit the laundry inside out. I HATE to have to touch dirty stinky socks as much as it takes to turn them right side out. Yuck! (I know what you're thinking too, "why not just wash them inside out?" Because, that would just be wrong!) Too much? Sorry :)

Victoria said...

My greatest pet peeve today is dog fur. Lots and lots of dog fur! Two longhaired 60 pound shedding furballs worth of dog fur!
