Anchors Away, Mindy Gledhill {a giveaway}

I wrote a little bit about Mindy Gledhill in my Spark post. (ON that subject, there are only a few spots left at Spark, so if you are thinking of coming, act fast!)  Today, I get to expand on the subject of Mindy Gledhill a bit.

I first heard of Mindy a few years ago when Stephanie & Christian were in their crash.  If you remember, I auctioned off a pincushion for their benefit and I (like the rest of the world) paid attention to thier progress and the amazing things that others were doing to help them in their time of need.  Mindy gave a concert for thier benefit and I remember reading about it and giving a bit of a smile and a nod of my head, sending out my happy vibes to this other person that was giving of thier talents to help this family.

And I kept hearing about her on Miss CJane's blog (who I luuuvvv) but for some reason, I never listened to Mindy's music until a few weeks ago.  I couldn't believe how beautiful her music was.

This is the kind of music the world needs.

So, like every normal person that finds something new they like, I started stalking her.  Okay, well not really, but I couldn't stop talking about her.  Every conversation I had was peppered with Mindy.  Example:

Dustin:  What are you doing this afternoon?

Sandi:  Mindy & I are making jam.

Dustin:  What are you doing tonight?

Sandi:  Mindy & I are working on the new fabric collection.

And on and on.  To the point that my family was starting to make fun of me and my sister was threatening to write Mindy a "stalker alert" email.  But I couldn't help it - I LOVE her music.  It's happy, it's bright, and the words mean things to me.  So I emailed her and asked if I could have an albums to give away on my blog.

Then I found myself on the phone with her, chatting about things completely unrelated to the giveaway on my blog and found her to be completely down to earth and lovely.  As if I didn't like her enough already?

So there you have it - the story of my Mindy addiction and how it has come full circle and now - we're like - friends.  Or at least I'm going to say so and she doesn't get to contradict me.  I'm good with that.

Mindy kindly sent me not one but THREE autographed copies of Anchor.  I think she sent three because she knew if she only sent one, I'd just be tempted to keep it and not give it away.  So one for me, two for you!

And because Mindy's music is seriously good to sew to, we are including some of our goodies with hers.

So, two lucky people will win the following:

An autographed copy of Anchor, by Mindy Gledhill

An organic tee with and adorable heart on it. (One is a ladies Medium, one is a babies 12 month)

One copy of my cupcake pincushion sewing pattern

One cupcake pincushion kit.

Just leave a comment and I'll announce the winners on Monday!  And again, listen to Mindy's gorgeous voice and music in the music player on my sidebar.  Check out Mindy's website here and her blog here.

Good luck!
