Fiona's 500 Giveaway

Wow I can't believe it! 
Seriously, I can't believe that I now have 500+ people following me on Instagram!  Unbelievable!  Thank you all for your friendships, the interaction & encouragement that many of you give me on a daily basis.  I enjoy seeing & hearing of your many adventures and your crafting pursuits and yes Gemma & I absolutely adore looking at photos of your pussy cats!! A special hello to Henry, HB and Sakari from Gemma xoxo 
 
As my way of saying "thank you" I am having a giveaway.

How To Enter:
 
Please repost the giveaway photo on Instagram and type a quick few words detailing how we know each other followed by the hashtag #Fionas500Giveaway 
 
Some common examples could be:
Met at the Kingdom Hall #Fionas500Giveaway
Referred by a Friend #Fionas500Giveaway
Fellow Quilter #Fionas500Giveaway
Quilty Sisters Instabee #Fionas500Giveaway
 
Just something short & sweet along those lines will do, no need for an essay. Feel free to make me laugh! I like to remember how I met many of you.  Some I have known personally for many years, some I have met through my travels and others I am yet to meet in person but we may have been introduced through a quilting bee, a swap, or just through our mutual love of quilting or crafting.
 
I will leave a note on your post to signify that I have seen it and that your entry will go in the draw.   If you haven't received a note from me within 24-hours could you please tag me @BendigoLioness
 
 One Instagram entry per person only please.
 
How To Get A Bonus Entry:
 
As an added bonus and to publicise my new blog, I will give an extra entry to anyone who leaves a comment below AND who follows/subscribes to my blog.  You can sign up by email or follow me through Bloglovin.  There are buttons for both on the right hand side (you might need to scroll up) >>>>>
 
Who Can Enter?
 
Because I am a sucker for donating my pension to Australia Post, I have decided to open this up to my friends worldwide.  ANY of my friends can enter, yes even my non-quilting friends! The Social Tote has many uses!!!!!
 
When Is It Drawn? 
 
Entries open as soon as my follower counter hits 500 (Monday 8 September 2014) and will close at 9pm on Monday 15 September 2014 (Australian Eastern Standard Time).
 
T&Cs
 
The winner will be announced both on Instagram and also on this blog once I have had a chance to register all valid entries.  The winner will then be asked to contact me directly to provide their postal address details.  The prize will be posted as soon as possible or worst case scenario on my next pay day which is Tuesday the 23rd (depends on how much the cat's vet bill is this week & how much money I have left over LOL).  I will advise the winner when the parcel has been mailed.  Australian postage will be by regular parcel post, overseas postage will be by airmail.  I am not responsible for the parcel once it has been handed over to Australia Post.  If you have actually bothered to read the T&Cs congratulations, you are a legend!!!
 
Thank you all once again for your friendships and I look forward to reading your comments!!
 
All my love,
Fiona @BendigoLioness
