GO! Baby giveaway

I'm sooooo excited to be hosting this giveaway today. The fine folks at AccuQuilt are allowing me to giveaway a GO! Baby cutting system and 3 dies (your choice!) to one of my readers. To enter, please leave ONE comment on this post. In your comment I'd like to include 3 things that you are thankful for.
Here's my list:
1. I'm thankful that my kids are playing reasonably well together today. That means mama gets some time to sew! Yipee!
2. I'm thankful for a great weekend with my husband, kids and good friends.
3. I'm thankful that we are already enjoying fresh veggies from the garden. What a treat!

Happy Monday to you! And good luck!

edited to add: the giveaway is now closed.

(2) I'm thankful for all of the wonderful ideas and "enabling" I find on internet blogs (double LOL).
(3) I'm thankful that Crazy Mom is a very faithful blogger who posts almost every day, so that I can take a break from the aforementioned work to think about quilting!
