~*And the Winner is...*~

Hello Dear Friends!

First of all... thank you to all of you on my blog and Facebook for your kind comments and for entering the Giveaway!  You have all touched my heart with sweetness!

Last night, after 8pm, all the names from my blog and Facebook were written on papers and put in a bucket.  I allowed my Son to stay up a little late so he could draw the winner.

And the winner is... Ann Alexion ... from her post on Facebook.  She commented, "I've followed you for years and this would be such a treat to win!"  Not that the comment gave her a boost with winning... but is was sweet.  Everyone had a fair share... and if the post was shared, the entries had a second copy of their name dropped in the bucket.

I've sent Ann a message for her mailing address so the rug can get to its new home very soon.

Again, thank you to all of you for entering!

I wish I could give one to all of you... but, because I cannot... please keep your eyes open for a FREEBIE DOODLE or FREEBIE CROSS STITCH to be posted in the next day or so.  *SMILES*

I received some grand gifts yesterday!  My SIL, Robin, and my dear friend, Ginger, both gave me goodie treasures...

From Robin...

 From Ginger...

Oh the photographs do not do justice at all!  These gifts are tremendous!  The craftsmanship on the handmades is amazing!

Robin made a Locker Hook Trivet.  She is the Queen of Locker Hook!  

Ginger made a penny rug and velvet heart... and I so wish you could see her tiny embroidery stitches.  WOWZERS!

Thank you, Ladies, for the gifts.  I will treasure them always!!!

Well, I better get busy on that freebie!

Wishing you all warm smiles...
