Winners of January Drawing Announced!

Good morning! How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun or relaxing? Frit and I went to see When In Rome on Friday night. ‘Twas darling and made me wish I was in love. [sigh] I’m such a sucker for the “romantic comedy.” I really probably ought to stop watching them.

But anywho … this post is not about me. It’s about you. Three of you to be exact. The three winners of the drawing I held to celebrate the launch of this here new blog. And can I just say, choosing only three was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done (So what? I’m being overly dramatic. I know). I wish I had 50 prizes to give to everyone who entered. I love love giving presents and I want everyone to win, so I think I’ll be doing more of these drawings more frequently. Is that ok with you?

So to cut my rambling short, here are the winners:

The paisley handbag goes to …

Patricia Gonder!

The pink poppy headband goes to …

Natalie Sue!

And the fine art print titled “Be Still & Know” goes to …

Cassie Hughes!

Ladies, I’ll email you today to get your mailing addresses. Congratulations!

And because I’m a sucker, I just drew a 4th winner and will be stitching up another handbag for … Beth!

Oh wow. This is so fun! … I just drew another winner and will be whipping up something lovely (haven’t decided what yet) for Miss Sara J!

Somebody stop me. OK. I’m stopping. Gotta go to the gym.

But be sure to stop back by later today … I’ll be sharing the inside scoop on my very first relationship. You won’t want to miss it.

In the meantime, tell me what you did this weekend! I really want to know.

Toss Your Hat in the Ring!

Hi friends. Remember when I launched this new blog a few weeks ago, announced a drawing to celebrate, and then promptly forgot about said drawing.

You do?

Hm. Me too.

SO sorry!

So here’s what we’re going to do about it … I’m extending the drawing through the weekend. I’ll announce the winner on Monday, Feb. 1. To enter, leave a comment below … just tell me the best thing about your 2010 so far. And you can also receive additional entries for:

(Don’t forget to tell me about all the extra “actions” you took for additional entries in the comments below.)

Here are the 3 gifts I’ll be giving away.

a) Brown and turquoise paisley print handbag. Fully lined with magnetic snap closure. Uh … so cute!

b) Pink poppy headband. Thin wire band = comfortable fit. Sweet, romantic accessory. Just in time for Valentine’s Day.

c) “Be Still & Know” – a fine art print. 5 x 7 matted photograph. A soft reminder and beautiful piece of art. You can see a closer view of the photograph here.

So there you have it. Thanks again friends, for all your support and encouragement through all this. I really can’t explain how scary this whole transition has been. Some of you stuck with me. Some didn’t (sad). I still have a ways to go but I know I’m on the path to where I’m supposed to get to next. So let me know you’re out there and let me give you presents for being so great. :) A win-win I’d say.
