A WINNER, and an APOLOGY and a PEEPING TOM......................................

THE PEEPING TOM!



Greetings Dear Friends!!

FIRST The APOLOGY~ Please forgive me for being neglectful of you!! It's been one thing after another around here, including tummy flu that had my littlest in the hospital. I thought he came back from his dad's with food poisoning. NOPE. So beware it's going around!!


SECOND~ A PEEPING TOM EEEEK! ~ I, like many, wear contact lenses. I am blind as a bat without them. Seriously. The day before the big snow here I added some WINTER decor to my youngest son's room, (my teens REFUSE to let me put snowmen on their beds anymore) including this snowman cling that was meant for your car window. Well needless to say, I woke up the next morning while it was still almost dark, and in my blindness saw this HIS profile in the window!! I freaked out!! When I finally got a grip. I realized WHAT HE was.. My son was at his dad's and I had forgot to close his curtains. Yep. I was being peeped by a snowman. *SIGH* My teens tell me they are going to put me in Shady Pines.


THIRD The reason you have probably read this far. ( The method to my madness) The WINNNER!!!! It has taken me some time to verify the entries and such. I use my tried and true hi-tech names-in-a-hat method to choose the winner, who is................... Jo at My Grandma's Soul So Jo, please send me your info!!

I wish I could give ALL of you something. PLEASE WATCH FOR UPCOMING GIVEAWAYS!!

From my Home and Heart to yours,

WHAT are you making MAKING ME Wednesday?.................

Hello Dear Friends!
Today I want to share with you some lovely things I was lucky to receive. The first was a FABULOUS pink "Just Because" giveaway from Lori of Lori Lynn's Cottage. It was full of gorgeous pink goodness. Vintage linens and cookbooks, I almost swooned. (Drama adds to the story you know!) Vintage rick rack, a fave, and all kinds of yummy goods. Please no drooling!! Thank you again to Lori, and please click over and say hello, and check out her lovely blog!

The next one is from an earlier cuff swap I did. My partner's name was Stacia and she sent me TWO lovely cuffs.

I am always humbled by the kindness in Blogland. Thank you to each and every one of you. You are a gift to many.
