I-Spy Alphabet Book, plus a GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

~~GIVEAWAY details at end of post!!~~


Since I have so (ridiculously!) many I-Spy-type fabrics, I started thinking of more projects to use them in, and this alphabet quiet book emerged. Each page has a letter of the alphabet made out of a fabric with objects that start with the same letter: a=ants, b=balls, c=cars, etc. My boys are already loving it and figuring out which letters are which by looking at the pictures. (They've known the capital letters for AGES, so this will be great for learning their lowercase letters!)

Here are some detailed photos:
Ants, Balls, Cars, Ducks, Elephant, Frogs, Giraffes, Hot air balloons, Ice cream, Jigsaw puzzle, Kids, Ladybugs, Moon, Numbers, Ostrich, Princess, Quilt, Rabbits, Scissors, Turtles, Utensils, Vegetables, Wagon, eXit sign, Yarn, Zebra

Now, on to the GOOD STUFF!!

While I was going through my fabrics and cutting pieces out for my quiet book, I cut out some extra sets as well. For my FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY, I have TWO SETS up for grabs for TWO WINNERS:

For WINNER #1: A set of 26 4 1/2" I-Spy Squares -- one for each letter of the alphabet! -- plus two different fat quarters of letter fabric. (The orange is not super good quality, but the print is just too cute!)
Includes: Ants, Balls, Corn, Dogs, Eggs, Frogs, Glasses, Hot air balloons, Ice cream, Jigsaw puzzle, Kids, Ladybugs, Mittens, Numbers, Octopus, Pigs, Quilt, Rabbits, Scissors, Turtles, Unicorn, Vegetables, Watches, X-Ray, Yarn, Zebra







For WINNER #2: A set of 26 4" tall capital letters, plus two different fat quarters of letter fabric. (Once again, the quality of the orange fabric is not fantastic, but I just love the print!)
Includes: Ants, Balls, Cars, Dogs, Eggs, Fish, Glasses, Hot air balloons, Ice cream, Jigsaw puzzle, Kids, Ladybugs, Measuring tapes, Numbers, Octopus, Pigs, Quilt, Rabbits, Scissors, Turtles, Utensils, Vegetables, Watches, X-ray, Yarn, Zebra

~These sets would make a super cute quiet book or quilt!~

Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment to enter. Make sure I have a way to contact you in the event that you win!
2. If you are one of my OFFICIAL FOLLOWERS, leave a SECOND comment telling me so!

5. I will pick the winners through the Random Number Generator and post results as soon as I have them ready.

GOOD LUCK!
