I love it. I love to make someone a winner right before Christmas!
You can enter my giveaways below, I'll have two winners, one for each item I am offering.
This is open to international entries. Giveaway will close Friday, December 7th at night when I go to bed.
To enter:
Leave a comment saying what giveaway (#1 Fabric or #2 Pouch or both) you would like to be included in. Also, leave a quick little note, so I can be entertained while reading them, about when your child or children or YOU found out the truth about Santa.
(Personally, I was pretty old, upper elementary grades, And I couldn't believe it when a girl at recess told me. I never would have imagined my parents spending so much money. My oldest is now 10 and I think he still believes or at least I want to believe he still does. He better not ruin it for my youngest :)
For 2 extra entries:
leave an additional comment for each option below saying you have done the following:

Giveaway #1
One winner will get a 15oz clear bag of fabric pieces. They vary in size and would be great for little projects, small quilting pieces, and many many more things. The picture shown here is not exactly what fabric scraps will be in the bag, but it gives you an idea. Averaging about 5" wide and varying lengths.
Giveaway #2
One winner will get to choose from a MINI pouch from my shop. This would be a great gift for yourself, or for anyone on your Christmas list. Browse around in my shop HERE for some options available.

Both! ;) (How could I choose??!) As for Santa, I grew up with 3 older brothers, so really the secret was out before I think I even knew what Santa was supposed to be. Ah well - we had fun being Santa for one another, and to this day still give "From Santa" presents even as middle-aged siblings!
ReplyDeleteI would love #1 - always love adding scraps to the pile :) My neighbor was three years older than me and he told me Santa wasn't real... I told him that my parents would never lie to me. So either my parents are liars or Santa *is* real. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to enter both please! I can't remember when I found out about Santa, my kids are 9 and 5 and both still believe, I hope to carry that on for a while longer yet! Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteHi - Thank you for the giveaway. I would be happy with either giveaway which is very generous of you! I was about 7 when my older brothers told me there was no Santa!
ReplyDeleteBoth! We've never followed the belief of Santa in our home. They've been told from the get-go that he is a myth created out of a man who once existed. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love giveaway 2. I love small goodies. I remember opening up the truck of my parents car to help with groceries and saw a Kerplunk game. It was on my list! I was probably 7 yrs old.
ReplyDeleteI`d love some scrap goodness! My parents never got me to believe in Santa, though we are perpetuating the Santa myth with our 2 year old...we`ll get as much mileage out of that as we can (ie if you do X, you`ll be on Santa`s nice list and get lots of presents..) :)
ReplyDeleteI've LOVE giveaway #2! I don't really remember when I found out the truth about Santa. Maybe because I still tend to want to believe in the magic of Christmas :) But we are working very hard at helping our boys understand from the start that Santa is a character (kinda like Mickey Mouse), and that Jesus is the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love scraps! I think I found out when my dad played Santa and I recognized him. He tried to tell me that he had to help Santa but I didn't believe him. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBoth, please! My kids have never really believed in Santa. But I "found out" when my mom let it slip that she when looking for this certain doll, she tried to find on with straight bangs.

ReplyDeleteLove the pouches! I think I found out about santa when I realized that his and my mom's handwriting was the same!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun giveaway and a chance to win!

ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win!
Also following you on facebook...thanks for hosting a great giveaway...the prizes look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteJulie
I love your pouches so I guess I'll enter #2, although I'd be happy with either prize. I just saw Anna Maria Horner's scrap-fabric garland idea so that's what I'd do with prize #2. I figured out Santa was my Grandma when I was about six because the note that Santa left me thanking me for the homemade cookies I left on Christmas Eve him was written by her with her pen. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower of your blog. I already favorite your shop on etsy.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Super sweet giveaways! I like both of them! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth would be great but I have plenty of scraps. But can you ever have to many? I don't remember when I found out there was no santa. But I taught my son that santa was a make believe person and Jesus is why we have Christmas. And one day when he and his wife have kids they will teach him the same thing. I do follow you n facebook.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be entered in both.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember when I found out Santa wasn't real...and I don't have any kids or grandkids... :(
I ama follower
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have either of these great presents. I learned Santa was real at about 4 years old when I directly asked my mother. The problem was in Kindergarten. I've always been a crusader for truth. In December the teacher put up some pictures of Santa, his reindeer, etc on the bulletin board. I held up my hand in class that day and asked, "Why did you put up pictures of a guy who is imaginary?" I got sent out and spanked. Thankfully, most of my classmates didn't know what the word "imaginary" meant though.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be entered in both giveaways, please!
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids, but I remeber being about 6 when I climbed up on the couch next to my dad and asked if he was really Santa, because he and Santa had the same handwriting and it was ok if he was. I figured it out early, though Santa presents continued to come for several years afterwards anyways - all in good fun!
I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked you on Facebook. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think both of your giveaways are great fun.
ReplyDeleteMy children haven't learned the truth yet (is it wrong of me to hope they don't for at least ten more years?!). I was in upper elementary (4th or 5th grade) when I found out & was completely bummed.
You can never have enough mini pouches!
ReplyDeleteWe put up a blow up Santa for my toddler to get less-scared of santa this year. We unplug him during the day and she keeps commenting on how ho-ho goes ni-night a lot.

I'm happy to be in either or both giveaways. When my sons discovered Santa didn't exist they continued to leave a mince pie and carrot - just in case!

What a delightful blog! I'd like to enter both giveaways, please. My boys used to sleep in bunk beds, and one night just before Christmas, as I was tucking the boys in, my oldest son chose to ask me for the truth about Santa, leaning over the bunk bed and looking down at his youngest brother. I could have fainted!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win fabrics!
ReplyDeleteAnd talking about this sad Santa's story.. I found out the truth at 1st grade in school. One of the teachers in class said out loud "As you all know, there is no Santa, our parents put gifts under the tree" and she continued the lesson further on.. I was in shock, but from the silence in the class I saw that I was the only one that didn't know that.. That was a sad day :)
#2 please :) any more fabric scraps come into this house and the husband will not be happy lol
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to be included in both giveaways, but if I had to choose, the pouch!! :) I think I was in elementary school when I found out about Santa. Thanks for the chance!

I was in second grade. My teacher read us a book that told all. It was very traumatic! Parents were called to pick us up. I will never forget it! I would love to be entered for the pouch. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGladly liked your Facebook page!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we ever really lied to the kids about Santa, so they found out pretty early that it was something fun grownups did for kids.
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway! I'd love to be included in both, thanks!
#2 please!
ReplyDeletegfc follower!
ReplyDeleteI would love either! thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI found out when I was 5 (not sure how), but I was SO mad at my parents. I kept telling them that "they fooled mother nature"!! They still talk about that. My 7 year old is suspicious this year and I believe that my 10 year old knows the truth, but doesn't want to admit it!!
I follow edeenut on FB!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog! thanks again for the chances!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win one of those pouches! I figured it out pretty young but my mom reconvinced me of it and I believed for something like four more years!
ReplyDeleteI would love either - thanks for the choices! I found out about Santa on Christmas day, when I was about 8 or 9. My mother didn't make the same effort to hide it that year (talking about where she bought items for the stocking while I was sitting right there) and then sat me down at the table after gift-giving to tell me there was no Santa. I guess I kind of already knew....but it was still a sad day.
ReplyDeleteI love, love fabric scraps but would be happy with either.Thanks for participating in the giveaway day.
ReplyDeleteI'm following.
ReplyDeleteSo, first off, I'm a blog follower!
ReplyDeleteAlso, my parents never did the Santa Claus thing, so I always knew that they bought the presents under the tree. Love both giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI love both ! I don't remember ever thinking there was a real Santa. We saw my mom wrapping the gifts and knew they were from my parents. I'm doing the same with my kids, although we sing songs about Santa. But I'm pretty sure even the 4 year old gets that he's just pretend :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love the scraps! My oldest is 10 and I think he still believes in Santa....amazing!
ReplyDeleteecisley(at)comcast(dot)net
I would love #1 to finish up a quilt! A friend my age told me at recess. I think my mom took it harder than I did.
ReplyDeleteI would like either prize. My son found out 2 years ago when he was 10. Luckily he was willing and able to keep the magic alive for his sister.
ReplyDeleteI liked your page on facebook.

ReplyDeleteOh FABRIC - yum!! YEs please !! My friend Shelley told me. I was 9 and she was 8 then I ran home and told my mom all upset what Shelley had sad then the next day Shelley said that she was just joking! Not nice. I'll never forget that day and where we were (her dads workshop amongst tools).
ReplyDeleteoh! your mini pouches are perfect. i've been wanting one just like this for my purse. thanks for the chance to win! i found out about the tooth fairy, easter bunny and santa all in one fell swoop when i was five. a neighbor kid told me santa wasn't real, and i asked my parents if that was true, and then i asked them about the others. thanks for the chance to win!!!
ReplyDeleteI like both giveaways! Santa was never an issue for me. I figured it was all a fairy tale, there were too many of them around.

Those mini pouches are adorable and who doesn't love more fabric scraps? Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove scraps, so I choose nr 1! Santa, at an early age I discoverd my dad behind the mask... Don't know how okd I was though...
ReplyDeleteGosh, you mean I have to choose???? Umm the scraps I think. because I have a very small collection of scraps and am always looking to expand them! x
ReplyDeleteI would choose number 1! My sister and I figured it out when we found a pile of gifts in the attic labelled from Santa!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how I found out...terrible. My kids 10 and 7 still believe, but the eldest is starting to be suspicious...
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in both giveaways ... can't choose between the two. I really don't remember how old I was when I found out that Santa was a fictional character.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of your blog. I don't do facebook.
ReplyDeleteI love the pouches! We grew up Christian and not buying into the whole Santa thing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win one of your pretty pouches!
ReplyDeleteUm...not sure what you are talking about... Santa is real! Haven't you watched Miracle on 34th Street?? ;)
Genevieve
I'd love to enter for both but if I must choose, I'd choose the scraps!
ReplyDeleteI honestly do not remember when I found out. My sister says she doesn't think I ever really believed. I was a very rational child...
erikawithak.vintage at gmail.com
I love the scraps and the pouch is adorable so I will have to say both! I grew up celebrating Christmas but never was into Santa.
ReplyDeleteBoth of course!
ReplyDeleteI think I was about six when I figured it out. Saw my mom shopping as I recall!
I would love a pouch. My son (nearly 9) found out about a month ago from a kid at school. My daughter (5) is still a firm believer.
ReplyDelete*big waves* from sunny Australia. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Cass
I would love both! My family never really pretended about Santa. All our presents were from each other.
ReplyDeleteI love both prizes!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm confused... found out what truth about Santa? What am I missing here?
:)
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would like to be in the draw for both.
ReplyDeleteMy kids stopped believing a few years ago now, however they started again after watching The Polar Express for a couple of years more
Yes, my 11 YO has been on the fence if he still believes or not. I think he's holding onto the belief for as long as he can. Maybe he's afraid he won't get gifts anymore if he doesn't? Both my kids almost heard on the radio to a show I was listening to when they were discussing when they found out their parents were Santa. I had to turn it off quick!!
ReplyDeleteOh scraps! I love love love scraps! I really can't recall that I ever believed in Santa. He was never really part of our Christmas traditions. We had Sinterklaas and Zwarte Pete, and I always knew they weren't real because my Oma was not as sneaky as she thought : )
ReplyDeleteBoth giveaways are great. I think my children stopped believing in Santa when they were around 10 years old.
ReplyDeleteI just love scraps - We always did Breakfast with Santa sponsored by the school PTA - my youngest was finally into Kindergarten (two older) and that year, sitting on Santa's knee - he jumped up and yelled across the room - Mommy, my bus driver is Santa! Moment killer!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I'm a sucker for fabric scraps! So pick me, pick me!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember when I found out the evil truth about Santa, but I had younger cousins and we often spent Christmas together so I played along. My parents kept up everything even though I knew. But I was a bit naughty, I'd wake up super early, go out and peek at the stuff by the light of the tree and then go back to bed for a few hours once I saw what was there. So terrible! hehe
Well, neither my husband nor I are religious (hope that doesn't exclude us from the giveaway!!) but we were both raised with the belief in Christmas. I just love spending time off with my husband and son.
ReplyDeleteBendingPins (at) gmail.com
It's a good thing I logged onto facebook today, or I would have missed the giveaways. Love your mini pouches. I think my sister Edith broke the news to me about Santa j/k
ReplyDeleteChevrons! Count me in for #1. What do you mean the truth about Santa? Are you suggesting he isn't real? Gasp!
ReplyDelete#2. You can't go wrong with zip pouches. Thanks! kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 would be fantastic. I honestly don't remember when I found out but I think I was around 11 or 12. I accidentally ruined it for my little brother who is 10 years younger when he had told me he already knew there was no Santa and I basically agreed with him. I guess he was just testing me because then he proceeded to burst into tears and tell my dad I just told him there was no Santa. OOPS! I felt horrible! Luckily he was around 11, so it was about time anyway.
ReplyDeletefabric pieces- always love mixing up the scraps :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great. And I don't celebrate Christmas, so we already knew.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so great, I would love to win either! I don't remember when I stopped believing, but my nine year is totally done with Santa, which means my six year old, who follows his older brother in all things, is done too :( At least my little four year old is still a believer!
ReplyDeleteI love both! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to choose a cute zipper pouch. My daughter is 9 and still believes in Santa. I have no idea when I found out the truth--I have 7 older brothers and sisters, so I'm sure one of them spilled the beans when I was pretty young.
ReplyDeleteOption two the pouches. My mom is dying to tell my 10 yr old nephew who suspects santa is not real, that when he was 3 and asked for a fire engine, the very expensive one where he and his brother could ride together in it, that it was her that gave it to him and not santa. We had to go to 3 stores to find that thing on christmas eve!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered for #1 and #2, thank you for the giveaway! I think somebody at school ruined it for me sometime between 4th-5th grade. I remember being so let down! I totally believed when I was younger, one Christmas I went downstairs and when I went back up to my room there was a record player waiting for me! I know my parents couldn't have sneaked up there and accomplished that :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pouch! I don't remember when I found out about Santa. I remember being skeptical for a year or so.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on facebook!
ReplyDeleteLove the pouches but I have so many - would prefer fabric :) I don't really remember, but I think I was also in the upper elementary age - I know my mom was very straightforward about it when I asked her if it was true, lol!
ReplyDeleteI like both! I had started figuring things out about santa before I was about 11, and then my mom basically told me by asking me about the things SHE gave me in my stocking. :)
ReplyDeleteI love fabric scraps! They are perfect for paper piecing!
ReplyDeleteAs for Santa - we never really grew up believing in him so there was no shock at finding out! My mum however overheard her dad talking about "playing Santa" when she was about 10 and was devastated! I think that's the reason she didn't do the Santa thing with us kids!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love to win either prize! My oldest is almost 3 and this is the first year that he really 'gets' Santa. It's so fun to see him so excited.
ReplyDeleteI would love the mini pouch!! I can't remember how I found out, I need to ask my mom!
ReplyDeleteGiveaway #2. I have always been told that Santa is not real.
ReplyDeleteOh, those scraps make my heart beat faster! Love! Ok, don't hate but I never believed in Santa-he was always just another Christmas character like Rudolph or Frosty.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered into both!
ReplyDeleteI believed in Santa until about 10 and I think all of my other friends knew before I did.
Thanks for such a great giveaway.

emstone28@gmail.com
both - but I love playing with others scraps!
ReplyDeleteI dont think I ever believed in Santa. My mother grew up without Christmas and never really did much for us
I'm up for either! My mom told me about santa when I was in Kindergarten, maybe? I wasn't bothered by it. Presents are fun, Santa or no Santa! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love secondhand scraps - it is even in my blog name!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the scraps, because who doesn't love scraps?! But I may as well also enter the pouch giveaway because they are gorgeous - and you gotta be in it to win it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a bag. I found out when I saw my mom sitting at the sofa watching tv eating santa's cookies and drinking his milk.
ReplyDeleteBoth! I was the kid who was never taught to believe in Santa. My mom thought he was silly. Thus, I am fairly sure that I was also the kid who ruined Santa for at least half of my classmates. So sorry!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win either one of those prizes! Wow! :) I found out about Santa in 5th grade. My mom bought a teddy bear for me but said it was from Santa. I found the LTD tag on the bear. I asked my mom about it, in tears. She told me it was a bad economy and Santa had to lay off some elves and contract out some of his work. I give her a gold star for creativity, but I didn't buy it. sunnywilderman(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a chance to win both. They're both wonderful prizes. I never believed santa was real, because I grew up in Israel, LOL.
ReplyDeletelimor477 at aol dot com
My kiddos are so spaced out (21, 20, 13 and 3) that Santa will never die in this house!! My 13 yr old found out when this little jerk girl on the playground told him repeatedly - despite his argument, darnit! lol I'd love the scraps
ReplyDeleteI like ya on fb!

ReplyDeleteI would like to win #1.
ReplyDeletecarolinebock1 at yahoo dot com
My older cousin told me matter of factly one afternoon when we were doing homework together. Pretty sure I hit him :) I'd be happy to win either! Thank you for a great giveaway! transeau(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI like option two. I still believe in Santa Claus. At least to some degree. I don't think there was ever a moment when someone spoiled Santa for me. My parents never made a big deal about it and I just always kept believing just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteanna [at] 64colorbox [dot] com
We kept our kids going until 9 yrs old with some serious neighbor-help. She offered to store and wrap the kids gifts as well as writing the santa tags in her handwriting.
ReplyDeleteI bought a cute sign at a bazaar this year. "If you stop believing in Santa Claus, you get underwear."
Thanks for the giveaway and please enter mine.
I would prefer the pouch, but would also love the fabric! My mom decided I was old enough and told me the truth just before Christmas. I cried. It's not a happy story. :)
ReplyDeletepeachstateme (at) hotmail (dot) com
Those mini pouches are adorable. I'd have to chose one of them if I was lucky enough to win.
ReplyDeleteI actually can't remember when I didn't believe any more but my husband and I are joking that our earnest nearly 10 year old might be the first child in the world who has to be told that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are fictional. He still believes in spite of peers starting to comment to the contrary. It is lovely and means that his younger siblings don't have to be safeguarded yet either.
I would love to win the pouch. I don't remember when I found out Santa was not real but I do remember being sent up to bed at my memere's house on Christmas Eve so Santa could come while we "slept". We would look out the window and swear we could see Rudolph (the lights from the radio station tower) after awhile the adults downstairs would start jingling bells which meant we could go downstairs and see what Santa had brought
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower
ReplyDeleteOoo! Both are tempting! But I LOVE other peoples scraps!
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook too
ReplyDeleteBoth! :-)
ReplyDeleteI figured it out when I got a Mickey Mouse umbrella from Santa, but it was broken. My mom took me with her to Target to exchange it!
Whatdaya mean there's no Santa? I've got 4 kids that still believe in the idea of Santa and 2 grandkiddies that are just learning about St. Nick! Of course there's a Santa, and he lives right here in my heart!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you when the "truth" came out but sometimes you just have to believe for the sake of others ;)
Love the fabric gems, thank you for the chance!
#1 - the fabric bundle! I don't celebrate x-mas, so no broken hearts about Santa over here :)
ReplyDelete#2!
ReplyDeletec_mcmullan(at)hotmail(dot)com
My sister ruined Santa for me when she pointed out how his writing looked like my mum's!
I would enjoy either win. I think the fabric scraps would be fun to use, but your little bags are cute too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have no recollection of when I learned Santa wasn't real. Sorry.
The fabric would be wonderful and my goal in 2013 is to make a spiderweb quilt. I think I learned about Santa from someone on the playground who had an older sibling, but I was about 8. I believed in the tooth fairy for a long time! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the fabric! I can't remember when I ever believed in Santa.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Facebook Fan!
ReplyDeleteI love scraps more than anything in the quilting world, so I am in for the fabric! My neighbor told me about Santa when I was about six years old and I called her a liar and stomped my little indignant self all the way home.
ReplyDeleteI have no memory of finding out Santa wasn't real....are you trying to tell me he's not? Please put my name in for both drawings both prizes are great.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be entered for the pouch.
ReplyDeleteI was 4 when I realized Santa wasn't real because my parents used wrapping paper that was already in the house. It was yellow paper with clowns all over it, and I knew Santa would only use Christmas-themed paper. I got a sweet Barbie out of the deal, though. :)
I like you on Facebook, too!

Both definitely.. Both are alluring.

ReplyDeleteI'd choose the fabric - I love scrappy! I learned early - 5 maybe?
ReplyDeleteYour zipper pouches are so pretty. I'd definitely choose one of them.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember when I found out about santa. Maybe 8 or 9? My kids though, they are just finally old enough to even get the whole Christmas thing. It's tons of fun.
scarletteandcinnamon(at)gmail(dot)com
oh I'd especially love one of the darling pouches!
ReplyDeleteMy scraps are getting low so I think I'd pick the fabric (although the pouches are super cute too!). I honestly can't remember how/when I found out about santa, although I do remember playing along after I no longer really believed...
ReplyDeleteSuper cute pouches! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be in the fabric giveaway
ReplyDeleteI don't remember when I learned, but everyone in our family still get presents from "Santa"
I follow you on FB
ReplyDeleteShee-oot, sign me up for both of them! I don't remember when I found out. I do remember as a small little waiting up to try and hear the reindeer land on the roof. Then again I was watching a christmas movie on TV right now and the night security guard tells a little boy looking for Santa, "Listen, Santa died." Bahahaha. Only appropriate for pretend life though :)
ReplyDeleteI already like you on FB from the last Christmas Giveaway and what a lovely year since then it's been.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's me one last time saying I also GFC follow you :)
ReplyDeleteBoth please!
ReplyDeleteI come from a family of six so I found out quite young!! When the eldest finds out they tend to tell their siblings!
I'm a GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteboth please, my boy *8* is undecided, we're hoping he doesn't twig properly until next year so his sister gets another year, she's just 5... we've invented franchised santas for the false ones you see in the shops etc, we've got courrier services for presents he's seen coming in the house...still gotta keep the magic alive this year
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, thank you for sharing. I would be happy with either prize. Do you know I never remember believing in Father Christmas as a child? My mum always hid the presents and we weren't allowed them until after breakfast when she would go and collect them from her room. We never had presents waiting under the tree or at the end of our beds in stockings. I always give stockings now because I felt deprived as a child.
ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I am a follower too and happy to receive either a cute pouch or lovely scraps to turn into hexagons.
ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I am 31 and I still believe... because otherwise Santa won't leave me my stocking at mum's if I don't! It always pays to be careful, you never know... lol. I am a scrap a holic, so scraps would great! Merry Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love a little pouch. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy children have always known the truth about Saint Nicholas! We never felt the need to really focus much on 'Santa'.
Love digging in other peoples stashes. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love both :) I always believe Santa exists.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI would like giveaway #2. I found out when I found a list in my mother's purse that had 2 columns: gifts from Santa and gifts from us. I was about 9 or 10.
ReplyDeleteHow could I ever say no to scraps?? Your pouches are super cute, so it is a tough call. I would certainly be happy with either.
ReplyDeleteFabric is great. I saw my dad put gifts under the tree:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered for either giveaway, please. :) And I found out about Santa when I went snooping in our barn and found all of his "special" wrapping paper, I was five and already a skeptic. :P Thanks for the great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook now. :)
ReplyDeleteI also follow your blog. :)
ReplyDeletei would love the fabric. sadly i was a scrooge who never really believed in Santa. i think my parents found out that i knew when i was around 7 or so. i think they were way more heartbroken than me.
ReplyDeleteI want to be entered in #2 the pouch
ReplyDeleteAhh Santa there is still no Santa here .. Santa is a Coca Cola merchandise thing ... we have the "Christkind" (Christmas child) who brings the presents... ehh when did I figure that one out ... hmm I think my parents weren't good at telling sotries, so when I asked them when I was 4 (that's what they told me) they sort of started a story which I wouldn't believe so in the late 3-year mode of why and yes ok and why, and how so - fashion I wore them down...
#1 (scraps) please.
ReplyDeleteI was sure there was no santa when I smelled the Strawberry Shortcake dolls in my mother's closet. She tried to convince me I was wrong to which I replied, "Mom, I can SMELL them." That was that.
New blog follower. (for scraps)

ReplyDeleteI'm such a poor sewer, I'd like the mini pouch !
ReplyDeleteI remeber being quite old when my mum told me about Santa, on a january day. I remember a little disappointment, but then I was offered too the opportunity to give presents and I just love that.
And I'm now a follower !
ReplyDeleteI'd love a mini pouch!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember when I found out about Santa but my little sister credits me with breaking the news to her.
I would love to win a fabulous pouch!
ReplyDeleteI learned at about middle elementary when my friends Mom told her. She immediately told me and I ran home and asked my mother. I think Mom was pretty mad, but she told me the truth.

I'd like to be entered in both please! My older brother ruined it for me when I was about 6. He SHOWED me the hidden Santa stash. Rotten! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDelete#2 pouch
ReplyDeleteOh definitely the scraps to add to a quilt. I don't remember when I found out but I'll never forget when my son found out from - are you ready? His grandmother - he was only 6 or 7 when she told him and broke his heart. I'll never forget holding him while he sobbed and then pitifully asked if the Easter Bunny was real. A terrible memory!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win either. I remember my brother telling me there was no Santa. We had gotten into an argument and he did it to make me mad.
ReplyDeleteWell, I really don't need any more fabric scraps...so I guess I would choose the adorable pouch. As for Santa...never believed in him.
ReplyDeletePut me down for #1. I could use those in my hexie quilt
ReplyDeleteI like both giveaways! I don't know how old I was when I knew the truth about Santa, but I do remember how I found out. I had my suspicions, so I looked it up in an encyclopedia!
ReplyDelete#1 Please. Honestly, my childhood story was a bit boring. My mother explained where the story of St.Nick came from and that his spirit still lives on today and I was happy. My sister in law, however, is so adament that her kids believe in santa that she goes out of her way. Last year she had me make tags from Santa so they wouldn't be in her handwriting and has had me create a letter online with postage from the north pole. Her daughter is almost ten. I'm curious to see how long this lasts. :)
ReplyDeleteBOTH giveaways! How could I chose!
ReplyDeleteAs for Santa - I can't remember how I found out but I am 1 of 18 cousins and my younger cousin still brings up I ruined it for her. I dont remember this but apparently I took her to the side at our grandparents house and told her the only way she could be part of the bigger cousins club was to believe there was no Santa (how mean of me!!!) I have 2 girls ages 2 and 1 and I hope they believe for years to come! Ashley abwinebrenner@yahoo.com

I like both giveaways. I don't think there was one point when I found out for sure there was no Santa...I suspected for a while and tried to keep believing!
ReplyDeleteI like both giveaways! We're Jewish so my kids know Santa isn't real - but they still totally believe in the tooth fairy :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so lovely! Please, enter me for both giveaways!
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I learnt the truth about Santa at school, when I was 7 & a friend arrived, really upset, & told us that she had found presents in her own armoire. Was I disappointed? No. Probably because I must have been already suspecting something, but also because I was in fact angry at my friend's mother: I thought she was really a stupid parent to hide presents in her child's armoire, somehow I resented her for breaking to pieces my friend' s dream.
Which probably explains why I'm so excited with Giveaway Day every year!

Both! I thought my mom would back me up that there was a Santa when I asked her. I was disappointed to learn the truth. We didn't have Santa with our kids.
ReplyDeleteOoh, scraps, please! I was 'told' when I was in 4th grade, I think. My DD figured it out in 3rd grade, but is still insisting that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are real - I think she's afraid that her haul will decrease if she admits it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely both!! I kind of stopped believing in santa rather early and my mom just told me never to tell anyone that did believe in santa that he wasn't real. I don't know if I would do Santa with my non existent children.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely both! I know that at some point I asked my mom, she gave her standard answer that of course Santa Claus was real and I said, "no, really mom, I want you to tell me the truth." I dont' know how old I was, probably around 10. Obviously, by the time I was asking I really already knew!
ReplyDeletethe fabric of course! i don't recall a specific instance in learning Santa wasn't real - I think it just faded naturally. we still get our gift from santa though. it was always 1 gift from santa that was left unwrapped under the tree.
