dearSTELLA fabric giveaway

we're having another fabric giveaway

but first...

my latest smoothie recipe

someone has got to calculate the calories for me tho

because I'm sure I'm having a 2,800 calorie smoothie every morning.....

 one banana, frozen or not, after giving the dog about one inch of banana
(he loves bananas)

five frozen strawberries - the costco big frozen bag kind of strawberries

one large tablespoon almond butter

two large tablespoons of fage all natural non fat greek strained yogurt

and the rest of the spoon for the dog
(he loves plain yogurt too)

half teaspoon of turmeric, teaspoon of cardamom

tablespoon of flax seed

serving of Amazing Grass Green Superfood

serving of Amazing Grass Amazing Meal (I like Vanilla Chai infusion)

water and ice cubes

oh, yes.....and a large handful of spinach

(makes three generous servings)

take a moment to post your best guess calorie count

we're still enjoying the dog days of summer
with a great giveaway series
dearSTELLA sent us some wonderful quilting cottons
and we have been giving them away to you, our loyal followers 
this fabric is "It's a Shore Thing"
and this is going to be our next giveaway bundle...it's a whole lot of beach chairs, sand dollars, and sunglasses
it's a stunning bundle

but
I also want to ask you all to go to the beyond the reef facebook business page and "Like" the page
(no liking a comment....you gotta like the page)
and remember, you have to be a blog follower to be 'entered' for the giveaway

don't you wonder why there are bloggers that ask you to follow along?
just like getting good greens and flax seed and turmeric and spinach
to stay healthy
we have to keep our "numbers" healthy too
part of that depends on us - on giveaways and interesting posts
and part of that depends on you - having you follow or like or pin or comment
on the content we bring you
it says to our industry that we're 'healthy'
there you have it
(probably more than you ever wanted to know about 'quilters in the industry')

finally

we have some housekeeping

we have not been contacted yet by our urbanCountry Quilts book winner

we need a note from you with your mailing addy

if we don't hear from you by this Sunday, we will select another name

and the winner of the last giveaway was noted on our facebook page

post numbers four and thirty five

on the Road to California faculty interview post

please email me your mailing addy and I will send you each a bundle

thank you so much for the comments, all of you!!

that's about it

happiest dog days of summer
