Welcome to Giveaway Day! For the handmade category, I'm giving away this cute rag doll.
I named her Penelope, but you can name her whatever you want! She's a little bit feisty and very sassy in her chevron tights and grey dress. I made her using the rag doll tutorial I put together.
Rag Doll Body
Rag Doll Hair
Rag Doll Face
Rag Doll Dress
Rag dolls are a great last minute gift idea. Not that December 12th qualifies as last minute. Noooooo!
Watch out! She likes to have fun! To win her, leave a comment. Tell me what your favorite childhood gift was. If you are already a follower or choose to follow me today, leave another comment telling me that you did so.
The giveaway will close Friday, December 16th at 5PM PST. I will ship to theUS or Canada.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift when I was a little girl was when I got a new bike -- my dad had hand painted it, put on some fun decals, a new banana seat (I thought I was SO cool!), and a license plate with my name on it. :)

What a sweet doll! My grandma made me a rag doll with a carrying bad that folds out into a flower. I loved it so much and I still have it! I went searching for the pattern and if you can believe it, a reader of mine had one, from 25 years ago and sent it to me. :) How amazing is the blogging world?
ReplyDeleteProbably my Strawberry Shortcake doll house! I LOVED that thing and I remember how VERY excited I was when I saw it under the tree!

So, it sounds a little weird, but mine was an erector set (Meccano's). I'd been asking for one for years, and, when I was 14, they finally realized I must really want one! I had so much fun building things. dangandblast@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable doll!

Oh, Penelope is just beautiful! My favorite gift as a child was my Strawberry shortcake dolls collection. I received it on my sixth Christmas and was admitted into the hospital that same morning. I stayed there for 2 weeks. I am happy now to have great health and I still have the entire collection + fond memories.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift as a kid was a set of "real" artist pens.

For those of you reading this comment, check out Keri's tutorial on how to make a rag doll - I made my first from the tutorial and it was really easy to understand (though mine didn't turn out as adorable as hers). Anywho, my daughter would love a "sister" for her Amelia and Corrie dolls. Hey, I saw your living room - just wait 'til next year when Amelia becomes a tornado (oops, I meant toddler - Ha!). Oh, what was the question? :)C
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm one of your followers. And I have no idea what my favorite gift was. Isn't that pitiful? I don't remember anything in particular. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood gift was a teddy bear. When you pressed his hand, he would record your voice, then repeat it back to you with moving eyes and mouth! Thanks for the giveaway! robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood gift was my Velvet doll that my aunt gave to me. She has adjustable hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win! Merry Christmas!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift as a kid was my very first sewing basket, complete with accessories and notions. I was able to pass on almost all the included tools to my daughter this past year to start her out on her first sewing basket. I had my first one until just last year when we moved...so it stayed with me for nearly two decades.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower! Can't wait to rummage through your posts for lots of fantastic ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't really remember a favorite gift, but somewhere along the line my grandfather gave me a bear puppet that I named Beaver. He now keeps watch over my daughter every night, so I suppose I have to call him my favorite gift even though I don't remember receiving him (it's like he's always been there:). Thanks!

I got a record of the Super Bowl Shuffle when I was 6 and it was AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteOne Christmas my brother and I woke to find a huge pile of cardboard brick blocks from Santa - it stuck with me so much that we did the same for our kids a couple of years ago. They still play with them every Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI remember getting a bike when I was around 10. My brother and I went out that day to (kind of) ride in the snow

ReplyDeletemy fave childhood gift was a bike and a barbie perfume maker... I got them the same year... and used them both a lot!!! loved them!!!! THanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was Barbie clothes, way back when Barbie was first invented. I had a single mom, and we were poor, really, really poor. She came home after work and made my sister and I each a big collection of Barbie clothes. We may have been the poorest kids in class, but we didn't know it. Every single girl in class was jealous of our great collection!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 10 I finally got my very own bicycle. That was the longest winter ever! I had to wait until the snow melted before my Mom would let me ride it!
ReplyDeleteThis doll is so cute. My favorite childhood gift was an old Barbie doll from my parents. It was at a local antique shop and I looked at it every time we were there. I was so sad one day when it was not there any more but later found out that they had bought it for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

My late sister and I had Tammy dolls as a gift one Christmas. We took them swimming (the bathroom sink), sat in their living room (we made with matchboxes, spools, roofing metal, and other found objects). Lots of imagination with the poor people's version of a Barbie.
ReplyDeleteWhen i was little, one time my mom and dad hid presents all over the house and then wrote a "rap" to help us find them. She rapped them while my brother did the beat box sounds. It was AWESOME! thanks for the giveaway! seanandlaura(at)ameritech.net
ReplyDeletePenelope's a cutie and whispered in my ear she wants to come to Texas!!
ReplyDeleteThe best gift I received as a child was a Blue Schwinn bicycle. We were pretty poor growing up and our next door neighbor bought a pair for me and my sister. Sweet!

One of my favorite presents were Hit Stix (go 80s/early 90s) I was so excited to get them, but they didn't work long. Another favorite was a doll that you got without knowing if it was a boy or girl (and there was a possibility of twins). Thanks so much for the great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter would love that! Favorite holiday gift was trip to disneyworld.
ReplyDeletemadduxfan3@aol.com
My favorite was the Fisher Price "doll" house my Grandpa made me. The rooms, doors, and furniture were all designed to work for Fisher Price people.

I still have her and the books :) Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this lovely doll, I have my first baby girl due in January and I would love to give this to her! darbishar(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeletePenelope is so sweet! I would have to say my favorite childhood gift was my first sewing machine. I'm only on my second sewing machine 20 years later, so you can tell the first was a good un. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! She actually reminds me of a set of sock dolls that my aunt made for my sister & I when we were kids. We very creatively named them Queenie, King, Prince & Princess. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was eight I received a wooden "teddy bear" chair from my Uncle that he had carefully carved for me and I still have that little chair and the teddy bear to go with it. :-)
