Today The Benner Daily is hosting our first sponsor giveaway!! How fun!
I am sure you have all heard of Vanessa. Her blog, V & Co., is fabulous! Much inspiration there! Her's is one blog that I love reading. When I see she has written a new blog post that pops up in my Google Reader, it's one of the first ones I click on.
She and I have found out that we have lots in common. Besides our love for sewing, we also share a love of reading. The reading of Teen Fiction, that is. :) It's so much fun to connect with people that love teen fiction as I do. We talk about books we like, books we recommend, and the different scenes in said books. Our latest book talk has been about the Vampire Academy series. I got the 4th book in the series when it was released [yesterday] and I finished it today. Waiting for her to finish it, so we can talk about it. ;) ha ha!
Anyway. Vanessa is a super sweat gal with a super huge talent. And she lives in the Cuntry ya'll. There are cows right by her house. She has blogged about them before. Funny stuff!
OK! I will get on with it, and stop musing. ;)
Vanessa owns an Etsy shop called, V & Co. and Uptown Jane. She sells some great stuff in there! Want to know how generous she is? Dang! You're all going to love this!! The winner gets FOUR things!! Ready for it?
Here is what's up for grabs...
3 PDF Tutorials/Patterns!! Yes, you read that correctly. THREE of them!
Pincushions!
Ruffle Pillows!
Fabric Bracelets!
AND!! 1 yard of some delicious Vintage Flower Fabric!!

Vanessa is definitely in my top 5 favorite bloggers of all time, if not my absolute fave!
I love everything in Vanessa's etsy shop, seriously! I've bought some of her patterns before and I'd love the ruffle pillow one. I also love her barn wood frames. In fact, I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy a little framed embroidery that she had on there a little while ago.
Love the Holly Girlie Bag in brown at V's shop.
I follow Vanessa's blog too!
I'm also leaving comments on Vanessa's blog, as I do a lot!
I'm a mom who loves to sew, quilt, and decorate and create stuff, and hang out with my kids. I live in New England and I love the trees and the seasons! (before this I lived in Phoenix) Right now I'm house hunting which is some of the biggest stress I've ever gone through, it is ridiculously expensive here! I have four boys and finally two years ago had a daughter, which is so great- more excuses to make pretty stuff!
Thanks for the fun giveaway, I think I left 5 comments all together!

Favorite book is the Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles
Currently reading My Life in France by Julia Child & Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris.
How are those teen vamp books? I have only seen the Twilight movie, but I find the Indian tribe element fascinating. Is that part better explored in the books?
Great giveaway! Thanks to you both!

There's nothing like a V & Co giveaway! Yay! Thanks to you both!

Also, I've love knowing how many mammas out there are doing what I do. I just read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and highly recommend it. For youth (or you if you read like me), check out The Mysterious Benedict Society!

Yay giveaway!
I have been drooling over the fabric bracelet tutorial for a while now...how many times have I looked at it on etsy???? = ) (2)
comment love on the blog (3)
(4) I am temp. retired science teacher who is having WAY too much fun sewing on my time off with my girls....it is seriously killing my budget bying fabric so I am mostly addicted to the thrift store for fabric = )
(5) Already a faithful follower of her blog (on my sidebar in my blog)
(10) following this blog!
About me...well, this could take a while! (I'll try to keep it short & sweet...the key word is *try*)
I am very passionate about my Christian faith - it is definitely the most important aspect of my life. Currently, I am the aide in the Kindergarten class at the school I just graduated from this past school year. (yes - I am 18 years old. LOL) I can not even put into words how much I LOVE being with the kids. They bring me such joy and seeing them each day adds so much to my life. (:
I also *really* love to cook/bake! I'm not quite sure how I developed this passion (because I don't even really consider myself a "foodie" or anything), but all I know is that I do. {And, I must say that I make the BEST chocolate chip cookies!}
Recently, I got a new DSLR camera and I have quickly realized how much I also love photography. I have always had an interest, but now I can see myself *really* "getting into it." ;)
Oh yeah - I love politics. And by "love" - I really mean that I love supporting Conservative/Republican causes/values. Pretty much everyone I know will admit that I can present a *pretty* convincing argument to defend my political views. I find the whole political world fascinating. I've actually thought about possibly trying to become a speech-writer for the GOP. But how I would actually going about becoming one - I have no idea.
And, some miscellanious "tid-bits" about me:
- I love etsy
- I hate shopping for pants (they always seem too big)... so I really love wearing dresses
- I am definitely a "Daddy's girl"
- I am not really a fan of gold-tones...I prefer silver
- Bumper stickers annoy me (the thought of putting adhesive on your car makes me cringe)
- I live in Florida (always have)
- I'm obsessed with names, so if anyone wants advice with naming their kids - let me know.
- I actually really love auto-mechanics (a girly-girl that likes to tinker with transmissions...who knew? I know - weird, right?!)

I first heard about you from a random girl I met at Busch Gardens in Virginia. She had one of your camera straps, because she had taken Candice's class at Jessica Sprague.
