Oh, and by the way, I'm in on the fun this year. So here's my contribution to the giveaway madness:
One "Love Is Spoken Here" pillow cover.
Gray corduroy, blue and charcoal felt letters. Fits any 12x12 pillow form (available at your local craft/fabric store). Did I mention that Design Mom digs it?
To enter, just leave a comment on this post, a funny one would be nice (this blog is rated G by the way, please and thank you). Giveaway is open until Friday, the 17th. I'll pick a winner randomly and post about it on Saturday. This giveaway is open to US residents and Canadians too.
If you like what you see, you are cordially invited to visit my etsy shop, Amme and Neb.
Unfortunately, SMS Giveaway Day is a little late in the month this year, so today (Monday the 13th) is the last day I can accept I can no longer accept custom orders, and Saturday the 18th is the last day before I put the shop on vacation mode for the holidays (I need to put the sewing machine away once the kids' Christmas break starts...you know, family togetherness and all that). But it will be open again in January, so stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!

I want it!!! I'm not very funny, but here's the best joke I know: Do you know why there aren't many gamblers in Africa? Because there are too many CHEETAHS!!!
Lol at "The Fishers" Comment -
Your pillow is too cute! I want it in my house!
From the mouth of a 6 year old...
"When I am a Dad, I don't want kids."

Beautiful pillow! Hmm, the only joke I can think of off-hand is a little dirty...
A pirate walked into a bar. The bartender said "Hey buddy, what's with the steering wheel in your pants?"
The pirate replied, "Arrgh, it's drivin' me nuts!"
That is a good reminder! Especially since we seem to be going through a stint of not saying lovely things to each other. Sorry the comment wasn't funny...my mind just went blank!
OK. I just want to make sure I'm not breaking any Amme and Neb policies by entering this giveaway. Am I OK? :) Love the pillow!!!
Thanks for the chance!!
The other day, my daughter was talking about a doener (German sandwich, she usually calls it doner on accident), and she messed up a tad more. "You put meat in bread, add tomatoes, and it's called a boner." Then of course, my hubby had her repeat it three times and posted it on Facebook. :P
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
yay lori! another giveaway! another chance!
This is great! ...and I often fail to be witty under pressure. Sorry.
funny? i'm not funny, even though my husband thinks so. like the commenter before me said, i often fail to be witty under pressure, too... boo, I'm no fun, I know
Wow this is so lovely!! I would really enjoy this!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

That's such a cool pillow cover! Heh, I'm afraid the only kind of comedy I'm good at is physical comedy, which doesn't translate well over the internet. I make a mean fish face, though.
(ettlinga(at)dickinson(dot)edu)
love the pillow, so true.
Love this. So pottery barn teen of you! {I ordered a few pillows for Christmas for my sister this year -- this would go perfectly with them!}
Funny. Um. Well. My son's favorite joke of the moment:
What is Mario's favorite outfit?
denim denim denim.
{Took me a minute...but I had a 7 year old telling me!}
Amanda

I gasped when I saw that pillow. I love it.
Funny, funny, funny... Hmm...
What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the Batmobile?
...
Get in the car.
I know, for a clown fish, I'm not really funny. (We just got Finding Nemo and have been watching it a lot.)
LOVE IT!
I'm hosting a giveaway too, so pop on over if you have some time...

this pillow would be a great reminder for my 2 kids! Maybe it would help me stop nagging them when I hear them say mean things to each other. Thankfully they still say very sweet things to each other too.
Love it and the colors are perfect for my house. :)
love your pillow....does it stop fighting children?r
This is adorable. Thank you for the chance to win!

I love the pillow. Sorry I don't know any jokes.
pryortara@yahoo.com
I need this pillow cover! I LOVE it - It would be perfect on my couch!! Thanks for a chance to win :)
Wonky!
This pillow would be beautiful in my bedroom. Hum, something funny? I painted my toenails green for the holidays. That's the best I can come up with for now!
This pillow is awesome! I hope you get a lot of entries. :)
and, um, wokka wokka.
Nothing hilarious is coming to me at the moment. I'm a bit under the weather and am covered in the snot of 3 different family members (at least one is my own). Anyway, your pillow is adorable . . . :)
Lovely giveaway.
skooksplayground[at]gmail[dot]com
Love the "LOVE" pillow!
How pretty! I don't really have anything funny to say but merry Christmas!!
i can't think of anything funny!! well, here's my favorite (extremely cheesy) joke:
me: have you heard about that new pirate movie?
you: no.
me: it's rated "aaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!"
it's best to work this one casually into conversation and then really work the last line - and then laugh and laugh cause it's just too cheesy. :)
bess
p.s. great giveaway!
i don't know if i have funny in me right now, but your work is wonderful- clean, modern, graphic- love it!
my son is making this great new noise that sounds like a geiger counter clicking- he just got in his first four teeth, i think it is an experimental noise!
Such cute gifts! My birthday is Dec 17th, and winning would make the day extra-special.
This joke is better-told in person, but... What do you call a fish without eyes (i's)?
ffsssshhhhhhhh
It's such a great punch line!
Love the pillow.
What did the ghost say to the bee?
Boo bee.
...g rated like Spongebob I promise, lol.
Love this!
cornwell.nancy@gmail.com
I love the pillow. Fantastic idea and execution!
I'll tell you one of my husband's "AWESOME" jokes: "We're having spaGOTti and METballs for dinner. (Past tense spaGETti and MEETballs, since they're leftovers.)"
As you can tell, he makes me laugh, but not for the reasons he hopes. It's all good, though, because he appreciates any reaction.
Oh no, I'm so bad at jokes! What do you get when a piano falls on an army base? A flat major.
OK that pillow is amazing! And that song has been one of my favorite primary songs since I was a little girl. This would definitely be cherished in our home! (And maybe even snuck into Primary since I'm the PP!!)
I hope this isn't in poor taste, but this is my daughters' favorite joke:
Knock-knock
Who's there?
Mickey Mouse's underwear.
...and they will giggle for hours over this.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the pillow. Unfortunatly, Im not funny though... Name 3 ways to part your hair - center parted, side parted, departed
phoenixpeacock(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love this--not just as a declaration, but also as...a reminder :).
Wow, wow and wow! I am in *love* with that pillow cover. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to win it. :)
As for a funny...
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
clogzilla(at)yahoo(dot)com
I've always thought this was funny:
Things Mom Would Never Say
1. "How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"
2. "Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too"
3. "Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery"
4. "Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week"
5. "Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day"
6. "Well, if Timmy's mom says it's OK, that's good enough for me."
7. "The curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It's not like I'm running a prison around here."
8. "I don't have a tissue with me ... just use your sleeve"
9. "Don't bother wearing a jacket - the wind-chill is bound to improve"
(craftymom85atgmaildotcom)
Oh I really like the graphic nature of this! and the colors are pretty too.
I love your other designs too!
That is a GREAT pillow cover! I love it! I'm constantly telling people that in my house. We have friends over and sometimes they decide to play a game system and their tempers will flair, so I make them walk out the door to get it out of their system if they don't control it well inside. :) So this is awesome! They could be "hit" with the LOVE PILLOW!
Gorgeous!!

One of my favorite silly jokes...
Whats brown and sticky?
A stick :)
Oh this is so cute!! I love it! Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs Ariane
I think it's safe to say that with 47 comments you have arrived. Now, give me that pillow. Or I'll keeeeel you. and Oh, would you like to randomly decorate a room later? Or maybe cover a wall with posters or perhaps paint. If you need funnier than that just let me know.
Wow, this is so unique! I'm off to poke around your shop now.

What's the likelihood that I can actually win.
I can't use blue with girls but I can give it away to someone in Utah who can drum up more business for you. :)
If I don't win, I am just gonna take it as a sign that God is telling me I am already good at the Love is Spoken here thing.
And now I hope I don't win or what does that mean that God is telling me?
Love the pillow. I am sorry, but I am not the lest bit funny. At least I don't think so. Especially when one wants me to be. Thanks for the chance to win!
I adore this! Thank you for the giveaway. I love your "Did you think to pray?" Pillow too. I could use that one for sure!

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity! The pillow cover is wonderful! I'm really nothing of a comedian so I will spare you the trouble of having to read my terrible joke. Happy Holidays!
Love the pillow! Too awesome. Lets see...funny...all I'm really good at is corny funny! Like, why did the tomato cross the garden? To get ahead of the lettuce.
This would be a perfect gift for my husband...I love it.

Great sentiment on the pillow. Good cheer and all.
I am still wondering how to answer my daughter's question on why do boys have penises...
I love that pillow. So appropriate for our home! (I hope anyway)
Well my favorite joke doesn't read well, you kinda have to say it in person and my husband tells it the best but I'll give it a go:
Two whales are sitting in a bar.
The first whale says: (Insert about 10 seconds of the best whale sounds you can muster here)
And the second whale says, "You're drunk, Carl."
I'm kinda giggling to myself here.
Blessings!
I'm happy you included Canada because I would love to win this!
Hugs,
Kerry

Love the pillow! Funny...ummm...my 5 year old was begging me (with tears and everything) to pick up a stray dog from the side of the road. When I refused, she very seriously told me I was "not a true american." haha!

What a cute pillow! Don't have anything really funny to say at the moment - but I do wish you a Merry Christmas :)
I LOVE this pillow! You are so talented! I hope I win, and here is one of my all time favorite jokes (I'm sure you heard this in the third grade):
Ask me if I'm a tree. (Are you a tree?) No. Although it's much funnier for the one who tells it :)
Here's a really bad christmas joke:
What do snowmen eat?
Snowflakes!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Hahaha, I'm not funny.

It's a beautiful pillow cover, and a good reminder (at least it is for me). I thought this was funny: "Hedgehogs--why can't they just share the hedge?"

Now, the pillow may be the focus of your giveaway but I gotta say: Your nephew and the birds was worth the time I snooped around your blog! Isn't it funny how scared we get of things that aren't even 1/1000th of our size? And your pics of the scary Halloween Family are great. Lovely family you have, may each of you be blessed this holiday season and all the days to come. Tina
Kitten #1 - Last Christmas I ate a ball of yarn.
Kitten #2 - Really? What happened?
Kitten #1 - I had a litter of mittens!
Love the pillow! Thanks for the chance!
This pillow is awesome. I don't have any funny comments myself, but I will link you to a current favorite funny commercial of mine; it's one of those AllState ones with the guy that acts like an accident. I laugh everytime I see this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV33szSmrWA
That pillow is too cute. To Beth's comments... I LOVE those AllState Mayhem commercials!
Very cute cushion cover. :)

Love the pillow! Thanks for the chance to win! Here is something funny: my 3 year old had her preschool christmas program last weekend. she was the star of the show for doing two things: twirling around and around and around during the songs. (she was dancing) and for asking very loudly to go to the bathroom in the middle of the performance. It was hilarious!
What a nice reminder... maybe we would use it as a shield on the inevitable family squabbles to come as our children grow older! Lovely giveaway and thanks for the chance.
What a great idea. How can you not start humming the song every time you see this? And I LOVE having your book list on the sidebar. I'm always looking for good books to read. leahclaireh(at)gmail(dot)com
This is a cute giveaway!
I don't have one...so asked a 9 year old.
"What has a bottom at the top?"
"Your legs"

What's the sexiest animal in the barnyard?
Boom-chicka-brown-cow.

Something funny... I've always thought linguine was a funny word. Try to say it a few times without smiling. I dare you. LINGUINE!
I'm not good at being funny on the fly...how about this:
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Funny & true!
Thanks for the giveaway.

My dd just informed us she wants to become a Christian so she can have the cracker and juice.
I ADORE this pillow!!! If I don't win, I may have to make my own, but it would be much easier to win :-)
I wish I did know a funny joke. I would so enjoy winning this pillow cover.
I'm not really funny but maybe the fact that I actually asked for slip covers for our couches this christmas is funny..... or not- maybe it's just sad! Winning this pillow cover would make the couches look better : )

Woot! Woot! Cute loot!
Your pillow is a giveaway worthy of awesome sauce! A joke huh? okay...

Someone left me a good joke on my giveaway: Why don't seagulls fly over the sea? Because then they'd be BAgels!

Thanks for the chance.

What a great saying. Love it!
hey its allie,
here is a slightly obnoxious joke that was invented by a 4 year old and carried on by a high school....
whats green and has wheels?
grass, i was just kidding about the wheels.
Ohmygosh, I love this pillow. Thank you taking part in the giveaway and for offering up some really awesome goodies! And for asking for funny posts! I'm been sitting here reading previous comments and chortling so hard I'm surprised I didn't wake the baby. :)
Let's see if I can come up with a funny... Hmm...
Well, my son (just shy of three) cracked up everyone in the post office this morning. I was holding him and he was chattering and playing and asking lots of questions, then tugged on my ponytail and came away with a handful of hair (going through postpartum shed, yay) and exclaimed "Holy lock of hair! What is that?!"
I love your pillow
When my daughter was 2 there were several peanut butter balls missing out of a tin that I was giving to someone for Christmas, I asked her if she took them. She looked at me and said "Did you see me take them?" I said "No" She promptly replied "Then I didn't."
Sneaky
did you think to pray? amazing. what man/woman/or child does not need that gentle reminder every night getting into bed?
love your purses auctioned off in nov. too! just gorgeous...and one last thing...see you just read inkheart...i just read (listen really on audio book) to cornelia funke's newest book Reckless and it was good, and totally open ended for more to follow! i like Percy Jackson's story too, but the movie was lame lame lame. ok, none of that was funny, but please include me in the giveaway!!!
Trying to be funny on the spot is difficult. It's not like you can see me make a silly face or something - but you can imagine a really weird girl standing on her head, sticking out her tongue and chanting "I'd like to win!" over and over cheerleader style.
That would be me. (Actually I'm not really standing on my head. I was earlier though. I was showing my 4 year old that I still got it hehehe)
very cute pillow, love the colors!!
please take a peek at my giveaway, if you get the chance...

I love love love this pillow! Fabulous. Super fabulous. I would try to be funny, but it's late and my brain is mush from trying to get all of these giveaways entered. So, I'll resort to flattery: I was going to give up, but I only had about 20 left to look at. One is yours and I'm super pumped to enter! Thanks for the chance. :)
How beautiful- would love this reminder in my home.
Thanks

Two guys walk into a bar. The third one ducks. Seriously, I love that pillow! Merry Christmas.
NIIIICE pillow cover!! I'll share one of my daughter's "Amandaisms"
she is 23 now, but still has her "amandaism moments"
she came home from school one spring day, (about 3rd grade I guess) and declared; "The teacher is reading us the best book ever!!!" My husband asked her what book is that? she said the Jungle Book. I then asked her; "do you know the name of the author of the book?" and she replied: "YES I DO, it's Barnyard Kindling."
My Husband about fell over he was laughing so hard, we all laughed, and Amanda was like, "what?" I explained that the author's name was actually
Rudyard Kipling. She said; "ohhh, I thought it was like us, we have a barn a yard, and we use kindling for the wood stove."
Thanks so much for the opportunity.
:)
Susan
Beautiful pillow!
My daughter has a new sense of humor and randomly comes up to me and while caressing my arm will say "Mama mama" in a very nasally voice. She laughs hysterically doing it.

Funny? I need more sleep to be funny...talk to my daughter :)
Great saying by the way..I really like that.
mandy(dot)ueda(at)gmail(dot)com
Not sure if you will think this is funny but I can't resist sharing the story: my three year old was crying because he wanted a candy bar that my husband said he couldn't have because of his bad behavior anyway my husband stepped out of the car (we were in the car at the time) to get some food and I took him out of his car seat and he asked for the candy again I said no. He then while crying says, "I thought you were my family". I couldn't believe it. LOL
