With the holidays just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to showcase some quick and easy gift ideas you can give to friends, neighbors, co-workers, and oh yes…even your family! Though I have been sharing a lot of free tutorials they also aren’t quite the same as actual patterns. SO I have partnered up with www.YouCanMakeThis.com to offer you a chance to enter to win some of their most popular eBooks for the whole family and learn some fun new techniques, tips, and ideas not only for the people on your list, but also creative ways to decorate your home!
You Can Make This has created a free download for some fun gift tags. Each of them coordinate with ideas found as part of the DIY Gift Giving Series videos that can be found at www.youcanmakethis.com/blog , as well as designs and patterns found at www.SWAKembroidery.com and www.YouCanMakeThis.com.
So in honor of a handmade holiday & my 600,000th blog hit in less then the 2 years that I have been doing this blog I am having a great giveaway! www.YouCanMakeThis.com gave me an awesome pattern bundle to give away to not just one, but TWO of my lucky readers :).

Congrats on all your blog hits!

YCMT is super addictive! I’d love ANY CarlaC pattern as I’ve heard such great things, especially the Easy Fit Pants. The Patricia tunic is adorable, the Fleece Snow & Ski mask is timely, and I’d love any of That Darn Kat’s patterns too!

I would love to try the boxer briefs. My son loves ‘fun’ undies, and I have knits that he’s grown out of for outerwear, but would get a kick out of for underwear. 🙂
