TIME’S UP! It’s the most wonderful time of the year giveaway!

I love this time of year. I love everything about December: cold weather, the possibility of snow, the short days that necessitate family time in the evenings, the glowing lights, the hope of the approaching new year.

We had snow in Washington, DC over the weekend. Snow only happens a few times a year and only lasts for a few days, but children love it. They will try to go sledding and build snowmen with the paltriest of dustings.

Christmas. Hanukkah. The Winter Solstice. They're all coming soon. In that spirit, I think it's time for a good old-fashioned giveaway!

Our first prize is one of our Alaska-inspired colorways.

Prize #1: Two skeins of Glacier on Springvale DK. I love this yarn. So soft, so squishy, so versatile.

Prize #2: Another Alaska-inspired colorway, Wild Strawberries.  Read more about this colorway, along with some useful organizational tips here.

We're giving away two skeins of Wild Strawberries on Wexford Merino Silk. Worsted weight goodness, that's what this is.

Prize #3: As skein of Alchemy on Glenhaven Fingering.  Yes, it's in the vault. Yes, Glenhaven has cashmere. Yes, you'll want to wrap the skein around your neck immediately. Yes, it's more difficult to knit it that way.

Prize #4: Two skeins of Skye on Kells Sport. Love it. Lovelovelove.

Prize #5. New colorway. No official name yet. I'm calling it Need More Coffee Marigold for now.  Dyed on the aforementioned Glenhaven Fingering that you'll want to wrap around your neck. Looks gorgeous paired with blues, purples, greens, magentas, and browns. Trust me.

Hey, my name is Ricky

I just joined [url=http://hubpages.com/hub/Thrive-Learning-Institute][b]Thrive Learning[/b][/url] and I really enjoy the online training courses. I'm taking the real estate and wealth management classes and I appreciate being able to plan my schedule the way it works best for me.

I am learning a lot about e-commerce. Saw something informative about Thrive and eBay as well as the eLibrary stuff they have available via [url=http://hubpages.com/hub/Thrive-Learning-Institute][b]Thrive Learning’s[/b][/url] online courses. Are there any other Thrive Learning Institute students in the New York area?

I Messed Up Big Time!

4 hours ago I received a message from 972-284-0600 and was made to believe the call was a scam.

So I complained and contacted the the company and yell.
