AND
2) This fantastic and adorable apron from Feather Your Nest. Her husband has recently passed away, and she is selling her items for 25% off. I am loving the fact that I can help her out just a little bit by doing this giveaway :)
AND
3) Last but not least, a $10 gift card to Dunkin Donuts, because I am slightly addicted to their coffee (light with 2 splendas...thank you!) If you don't have a DD's near you, I will substitute a $10 gift card to a store of your choosing :)
OK, so to win, all I need you to do is:
1) Leave me a comment (and tell me which Saintly Softie you would like).
2) If you post about this giveaway on your blog, you can leave me another comment with the link, and you will be entered a second time.
The giveaway will be open until 11:59 pm on February 13, 2010 so that the I can announce the winner on Valentine's Day :)
Oooo I love that Etsy shop! My favorite one is Saint Gianna
ReplyDeleteI love that apron too! I love how it doesn't look like a standard apron
We don't have Dunkin Donuts here, nor by Steve either, so if I were to win that you could pick someone else's name for it :)
Love the giveaway! St. Anthony is a favorite around here!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those dolls! My favorite is Saint Clare (but then there's Our Lady of Guadelupe and St. Anne...oh, dear, how to choose!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful apron - it's almost too pretty to wear while doing food prep!
Congrats on your blogging milestone!
Mmmm... $10 DD gift card.. kinda sweet!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun giveaway!!! I love the girl guardian angel. Is that an option? Or St. Hope :)
ReplyDeleteI do not think my last comment went through . . . computer issues.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say St George or St Edward . . . or any saint with a sword. I do have boys afterall.
How exciting! Since I'm scheduled for my c-sec on the 3rd, Saint Blaise is a pick, however this little boy of ours is Raphael Francis, so Archangel Raphael and Francis of Assisi are kind of picks of mine as well! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll post about your giveaway on my blog as well!
We've lined up the baptism for Raphael for the 14th of February! What a great day! :-)
Congrats on the 100 followers Colleen! I got giddy when I saw I had 8! LOL
Wow! What a high quality giveaway!! I have 3 blogger friends announcing giveaways today! I LOVE the aprons! I went and looked aroud that woman's site when u had posted it a few weeks back. I think I'm going to buy one, the prices are so reasonable even without the discount! Enjoy ur giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe sofites from saintly silver are really nice and good quality, I bought some for Robby for this birthday and he liked them :)
ReplyDeleteThe apron is really cute too.
am I allowed to enter your giveaway?
What a lovely giveaway. The Saints are adorable! I love St. Paul.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. first you are giving away a saint, then you throw in dunkin donuts: Donuts=Sinful. :)
ReplyDeleteI personally like the Guardian Angel Girl doll.
The apron is so sweet as well!!!
Wow - this is a tough one but I think St Anthony!! I love the apron... I could make great use of it. Congrats on your first give-away!!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't tell you how many times I've gone to drool over the Softie saints and talked myself out of buying anything because I don't really need them. (And because I can't decide on fewer than ten that I HAVE to have.) But I suppose if I had to choose one I'd pick Saint Sophia for my pretty girl who will be turning two in March.
ReplyDeleteThat apron is almost too pretty to wear as an apron!
With free Starbucks from my sister, not sure I need the DD cert, though. (I have to confess, I like DD coffee almost as much as Starbuck.)
I just love St. Helen! My daughter Maryhelen would love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great assortment!! Woo-hoo. Excellent Giveaway Colleen!! I have not seen the Saint Softies before, but then I'm not an Etsy shopper either...yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with dear St. Gianna. Both Lily and I hold her near and dear and I'm leaning on her a lot these days!
Can't wait for the results. Either way, thanks for the fun giveaway Colleen!
I'm thinkin' the St. Thomas More softie and St Catherine of Siena are very nice. I really enjoyed this and will keep this in mind for gifts for the grandchildren. WOW!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law would just love the Guardian Angel doll.. so nice. An please enter me for the dunkin too:)
ReplyDeleteSt. Maria Goretti for me... I went to St. Maria Goretti high school :) The dolls are so cute, it is a great idea, you have a lovely shop.
ReplyDeleteI am sort of new to the blog but can't resist a giveaway...especially such a great one! Our family is awfully partial to St. Francis de Sales...and I would feel very cute cooking in that apron! The first dunkin doughnuts is opening soon here in st. louis...yay, thanks for a great blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 followers as well!
My favorite is the Saint Francis of Assisi Felt Softie. He's always been a favorite of mine.

Hi I just stumbled on your blog from another one that you follow. I saw your picture of the Madona of the Streets and had to check you out lol. What a cool giveaway, I would have to pick St. Dominic, for our little Dominic. Of course then I would have to go back and buy St. anne, St. James the Greater, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Andrew, and St. Teresa of Avalia for the rest of the clan and a Mary one for our Regina!!! Can't wait to email my friends about that etsy shop!!! And looking forward to reading your blog and getting to know you through it. jmbrown528@clearwire.net
ReplyDeleteBoy, what a way to get comments! ;) Those aprons are waaay cool.
ReplyDeleteColleen this giveaway is fantastic! I have to say I'm partial to the Guardian Angels - boy or girl :)
ReplyDeleteThat apron is ADORABLE and I'm so sorry for her loss :(
I love the new look of your blog! Very very cute, Queen Colleen!
The apron!!! I would love to have a new apron! I'm sorry to hear her husband passed away, though. :(
ReplyDeleteI would love to win!! I ♥ that apron. So glad that you're helping her out too. It seems that she had a flood of sales, b/c her site went down shortly after the requests went out to help. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
That's the most adorable apron I've ever seen! And the softies are just too sweet...we would choose St. Joan d'Arc as my daughter Laura just took her name in Confirmation last year!
ReplyDeleteI am now off to blog about this so that I can come back and enter a second time with a link to the post! THANKS COLLEEN!!!!
Okey Dokey....here's my second entry!!!!

I definitely have to bookmark that Etsy store. I love it!!! I love St. Hope because, heck, who doesn't need some extra hope? Apron is beautiful. Many prayers for your friend.

I've always had a soft spot for St. Terese (who doesn't?), but my son is Paul, so I'd have to go with that one!
ReplyDeletekitchenstew at gmail.com
We would love to win the St. Josemaria! He is an awesome
ReplyDeletesaint and the softie is very cute!
The apron is very cute!
We don't have a Dunkin Donuts near by, but that isn't a problem! We can always use it when we visit Chicago next!
Your blog is too cute btw!
I love this idea and love the Softie Saints! I have to go with St. Michael the Archangel for boys too! What a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the saintly softies. I don't know how to choose one...I guess I would want the Saint Owen for my Owen (even though that is not who he is named for it would be fun to teach about saints using one that has the same name!)
ReplyDeleteI love love love dunkin donuts!
Wow,those Saints are pretty neat looking. We really love the patroness of the unborn, Our Lady of Guadalupe. Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. Thanks for the fun give away.
ReplyDeleteCheri
Those softies are so cute. My favorite is St. Rose of Lima.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned this giveaway on my blog: http://trixiestreatsandsweeps.blogspot.com/2010/02/more-blog-giveaways.html
ReplyDeleteThank you!
amysweeps at gmail dot com
love the guardian angel! What a great giveaway! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if what I wrote last time was really my entry, cause I didn't really put much. But If I was the proud winner of the softie I would want the Little Flower (...maybe for a special reason....)!
ReplyDeleteThe Apron is really cute, but if you win it does it require you cook something?!?!
I love the dear little Saint Joshua and the apron is amazing!!!! There are few things in this world that make me happier than a DD vanilla chai (sooo much better than Starbucks!)!!!! thanks for offering such a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI posted about your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSaint Anthony I would love that one...
ReplyDeletehappymomof5(at)hotmail(dot)com
Oh, I can't wait to have babies and buy lots of the softie saints for them! If I were to win I would probably get Saint Therese of Lisieux, although Saint Dymphna would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteThe aprons are cute, too!
I think I forgot to enter again after I posted. Again, going with St. Gianna!!

I think the nun felt softie is so cute. i would pick that one. I love me some dunkin donuts coffee. Pick me.
ReplyDeleteSaint Catherine of Bologna speaks to me because she is associated with artists! Email: yona(at)pricelesswriters.com
ReplyDeleteI found you through Sarah's blog - what a great giveway and amazing blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Etsy shop, too - the saints are all sooo cute! I'd have to pick St. Mary Magdalen though b/c she is my daughter's patron saint. :)
I'm not sure if the giveaway is closed but I wanted to chime in.
ReplyDeleteI would have to select St. George since we most likely will be naming our new blessing (due in May) a version of George.

I love your blog and love these little saint dolls. My fave is St. Padre Pio.
ReplyDeleteHope you can stop by for a visit. I would love to keep in touch with my Catholic Brothers and Sisters.
