Quick Takes: October Celebrations

So, I meant to do this last week, but life intervened and it simply didn't happen.  This week's Quick Takes are going to be a little bit different.  I'm going to tell you all about some fun stuff that's happening around here this month!

1.  October is a special month for me, it's my birth month!  I've always loved October.  The weather can be warm or cold (I've seen both blizzards and Indian Summers on my special day).  And all of the beautiful fall colors!  It's just lovely.  (And there are pine cones everywhere!)

2.  I love crafting.  I think that's probably pretty obvious to everyone.  Yarn, beads, fabric, and all of the trimmings bring me much happiness.  

3.  I will be hosting some awesome "crafty" giveaways throughout the month here at The Philosopher's Wife.  You will have the chance to win some fun craft supplies that I hope will bring you some happiness.  

4.  I will also be linking to some of my favorite giveaways being hosted by other bloggers over at The Philosopher's Wife: Giveaways Galore, so be sure to check those out too!  (I'm hoping to link to one craft supply type giveaway a day for the rest of the month, so if crafting is your thing you really should check it out.)

5.  The giveaway goodness has already started!  This giveaway for a set of Clover Amour Crochet Hooks will end October 15, 2014 -- go enter! 

6.  Some of my sponsors for this month include Zipper Island, Happy Mango Beads, Create for Less, and Red Heart!  

7.  If you're a blogger and have a crafty type giveaway you'd like me to feature just drop me a line!  If you'd like to sponsor a giveaway to be hosting on my blog, again just drop me a line.  I'd love to work with you!    

Quick Takes are hosted by Jen.
