800th Plus Post Giveaway...

This is officially my 873rd post and it's past time to celebrate with a giveaway! Because Autumn is my favorite time of year, I've chosen that (and Halloween) as my theme.

There are going to be EIGHT winners this time, and here are some of the things I've chosen to give to my faithful friends whose names are chosen. Each person will receive a main gift, and then I'll add a few other smaller surprises to their package when I mail them out.

The first item is a Pumpkin Pie Recipe tea towel from Mary Lake-Thompson, Ltd.
• I have two of these to give away •
The second item is a tote bag that I'm going to make using this embroidery. 
This will be the perfect size for a little trick or treating 
or adding to your holiday decor. The base fabric is canvas.
• There will be two of these to give away •
 I will be making pillows pillow covers using this ivory on canvas embroidery motif.
Nothing like a little Halloween "shabby" to add to your decor.
• There will be three of these to give away •
Finally, I have these two little Mill Hill bead kits to give away.
• They will both go to one lucky winner •
It's easy to enter your name in the drawing.
• You must be a follower to enter. 
• Simply leave a comment on this post only, 
telling me which gift you'd want if your name is drawn.
I'll close the giveaway at 11 pm on Friday, October 7th.
Winners will be announced Saturday, October 8th.
Good Luck! 
UPDATE (11:30 ET 10/07/11): DRAWING IS CLOSED  
Thanks to everyone who entered.

    So hard to decide what my preference would be, but if I had to I would say the tea towel or the bead kits.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Good morning Donna. I would LOVE one of your pillows, although any prize would be a wonderful gift. So sorry about Kes, but please, give Tag a hug for me. I never thought I would say this, but I'm seriously thinking about getting a corgi. I've even started reading other 'corgi' blogs. What have you got me into? Now I just have to persuede DH. lol Blessings from the UK

    Hi Donna, You do make choices hard because I like them all. I think a tote bag would be great, because then I could think of you every time I carried it with me. You will be my lucky person this morning before I go to work. Itt is 48 degrees and only get into the 60's today. Have a great day and I hope I am lucky. Your Missouri Friend.

    Donna...
    Wow over 800 posts "congrats" your giveaways are all lovely but, if I had to choose it would be the white embroidery on canvas or the bead kits. So happy to hear you had a wonderful road trip but always so good to get back home again.

    Congrats on over 800 posts! Wow! I love your giveaway items and would choose the embroidered towl I think. I've tried cross stitched lately and the ole eyes don't see those threads too well any more, so I think the bead kits would be hard for me to complete.
    Thanks so much for the great giveaway!

    Not all that far off 1000 really, wow, what an achievement! Congratulations. Hmm, it is difficult to decide what to chose should I win. I think I would go for the tote bag, I can picture it filled with a few Halloween goodies, hanging in our hallway. Thank you so much for the chance.

    Hi Donna, the kitchen towel with Pumpkin Pie recipe looks good. I have never tried Pumpkin pie. Here, across the pond, we eat it as a vegetable, boiled and mashed or baked, I love it that way, There is a special variety here called Queensland Blue, we prefer this one as it is usually a drier type and mashes/bakes real well. :)

    hi donna, i wish i had been here for that first post. my husband's favorite pie is pumpkin, so i know he would love to see that hanging in the kitchen. he also does the dishes most of the time. i can always use another tote bag. my daughter decorates for halloween in a big way every year. she would love something new. i guess you would just have to surprise me if i am lucky enough to win. give tag a hug for me.

    It was great to see you this summer, and I'm glad to see you made it back home safely. That was quite a summer adventure for you!
