Ain't no doubt, ladies and gents. It's time for a par.tay!!!
Superbuzzy (say "the best source of Japanese crafty and sewing stuff I know"), is a new sponsor here at sewtakeahike!
And to celebrate, Superbuzzy and I are each throwin' down a $30 gift certificate (that's $60 for one of you!) to spend on whatever you wish at Superbuzzy.
Have you checked out their book and magazine section?
How about their fabrics?
Or maybe their zakka and gifts section?
or their notions and trims?
Feeling a little overwhelmed? Then how about just checking out their what's new in the shop page?
Rules, rules, rules!!
So you want to win?
You have up to three chances to enter (with a little bit of homework), and international entries are welcomed!
- for one entry, leave a comment on this post
- for a second entry, click on the links up there, and then come back here and leave me another comment telling me how you might choose to spend the $60 if you win
- for a third entry, blog or flickr about the giveaway (feel free to grab the superbuzzy button at the top of the post which links back here) and THEN come back and leave me one more comment saying "blogged" or "flickr'd", along with a valid link to the post (I'll be cheeeeeeeecking........)
I will keep this post open for one week, until the evening of May 23rd, when I'll use the random number generator to choose a winner.
Good luck to you all!
This is such an easy question. I'd snatch up as many of those echino helicopters as possible. I have been resisting so far!

Superbuzzy is the cuteness! Hooray for giveaways!
Posted by: britt | 17 May 2010 at 08:40 AM
Okay! How I would spend the $60: I'd invest in a couple yards of double gauze, and make a dress! (I've never worked with double gauze so it'd be interesting...) The rest, I'd spend on absurdly cute twill tape and trim!
Posted by: britt | 17 May 2010 at 08:50 AM
I already love Superbuzzy...what a great giveaway!
Posted by: sherri | 17 May 2010 at 08:51 AM
So...if I won...first I'd buy and january 2010 Cotton Time...and then I'd spend the rest on those cute polka dot purse handles I've been looking at!
Posted by: sherri | 17 May 2010 at 08:52 AM
I love them! Pick me!
Posted by: Rossie | 17 May 2010 at 08:55 AM
Wow! what would I buy?.........It would have to be those fantastic spotty bag handles!.......though deciding which colours would be difficult!

Posted by: craftydill | 17 May 2010 at 09:37 AM
if i were so lucky as to win $60 to spend, i would definitely need some printed cotton tape and about any fabric from the Food and Kitchen section (the Kitchen Utensils is my fav)!!
Posted by: craftydill | 17 May 2010 at 09:38 AM

Oohh, I am totally drooling!
Posted by: Trisha | 17 May 2010 at 09:52 AM
I think I would indulge in a fabric bundle. They have a great selection.
Posted by: Trisha | 17 May 2010 at 09:54 AM

Posted by: Anita | 17 May 2010 at 10:10 AM
Oh I SO need some Japanese fabrics in my stash!
Posted by: Kirsten | 17 May 2010 at 10:18 AM
Penny, you rock!
Posted by: Dayna | 17 May 2010 at 10:22 AM
I would definitely get fabric! I am thinking those adorable elephants in every single color....any of the little car prints...itty bitty mushrooms...oh, how could I ever choose?
Posted by: Kirsten | 17 May 2010 at 10:22 AM
OK, so I must at least have more of the "kitchen utensils" fabric in taupe (I thought that was gray!) and "time to sew" in chocolate brown. I love some of the patterns, too. I want to make some things for my great-niece.
Congrats on the new sponsorship!
Posted by: Dayna | 17 May 2010 at 10:41 AM
Amazing. I regularly stop by Superbuzzy and look around. So much great stuff!
The fabric is my fav. I love looking at the magazines too but I fear I wouldn't be able to figure out how to make the projects without english instructions. Maybe one day I'll get the courage to try.
Thanks for the generous giveaway

Oh wow what a generous giveaway! Keeping my fingers crossed.
Posted by: Get Stitchy with Sarah | 17 May 2010 at 11:08 AM
If I win I will buy some Echino and some of those cute mini elephants. I always want them but they are a bit rich for my budget.
Posted by: Get Stitchy with Sarah | 17 May 2010 at 11:10 AM
Superbuzzy is awesome. Thanks for being so generous to your readers!
Posted by: Heather B | 17 May 2010 at 11:28 AM
Woo hoo! Awesome giveaway.
Posted by: Katie B | 17 May 2010 at 11:28 AM
It would be easy to spend $60! I'd start with some hungry hippos fabric and the nostalgia cross-stitch book :)
Posted by: Katie B | 17 May 2010 at 11:31 AM
ummm, yes please! I love super buzzy, but I must order from them more. I am such a sucker for japanese prints.
Posted by: Anna | 17 May 2010 at 11:33 AM
Great give away. What fun it would be to win. Thanks for the chance.
Posted by: Jill | 17 May 2010 at 11:47 AM
I think part of the gift certificate would be spent on Matryoshka Collage - Black. I have a project in the works that is needing that fabric.
Posted by: Jill | 17 May 2010 at 11:48 AM
I just LOVE Superbuzzy!! I can never decide what to get though because I love it all. Great giveaway!
Posted by: Lisa | 17 May 2010 at 11:51 AM
I've been to Superbuzzy before. Love it.
Posted by: Live a Colorful Life | 17 May 2010 at 12:00 PM
and I would spend all my money on elephant fabric. I keep looking at it....
Posted by: Live a Colorful Life | 17 May 2010 at 12:01 PM
I love Superbuzzy! Hooray!
Posted by: Diana | 17 May 2010 at 12:12 PM
Although Echino is a great go-to fabric, I have been eying some leetle cars...

Wow. Best giveaway of the day! I love Superbuzzy. I am a Japanese fabric snob. I would take just about any and all of it, but that Let's Enjoy Britain?? I would die to have some!
