I'm In A Give Away Kinda Mood

Just about a month ago I shared with you the pattern that I tested for Lolita Patterns. The testing was actually done during the summer, but the pattern wasn't released until October. 
The ladies of Lolita had a vision for their pattern envelope and they weren't going to give up until it was right, so they decided to hold off on the release. Since I tested the pattern for them, they very graciously gave me one.
The closure is so unique and cute.
 And it works so well. Just bend up the bow which has a metal strip behind it,
 and slide open.
I love the pattern, but since I printed off the pdf and did all the work to tape it all together, and there's no reason to just throw all the work I did into the recycling bin, I've decided to give it away. You'll receive the printed pattern, not my pdf version. Lucky somebody!!!
So, Here's the deal,
1. You must be a follower of this blog. You know, that little box with all the smiling faces and the blue tab     that says "Join This Site."
2. Leave a message on this post by Saturday, November 9th and let me know that you would like to be included in the drawing.
I will draw names on Sunday, November 10th and announce the winner.
That's it! Good Luck and may the pattern gods be on your side!!!!
Happy Tuesday Everyone :)
Rhonda

P.S. Remember the pattern pyramid giveaway ends tomorrow, so make sure and get your name in the pile if you would like to be included. Here's a link, http://www.rhondabuss.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-won-and-so-can-you.html

    Hi Rhonda, I've been 'following' your blog for several months now, by having a link to it from my own sewing blog so that I could see whenever you posted. But today I signed up as an official follower. I do enjoy the cheer and joy that I feel whenever I read your blog. Please sign me up for the pattern giveaway. Thanks so much!

    I would LOVE to have a copy of this pattern. I am just now getting back into sewing after several years hiatus and need to restock patterns and fabric on a tight budget. BTW your ensemble looks fab on you!

    I so love your version of this pattern! I'd be tempted to make it up exactly as you did! (Where did you get the blouse fabric BTW???). Thanks for offering the pattern up for a giveaway!
