I was recently the winner of two great give-aways! Oh, lucky me!! Look at this lovely stash! The box arrived while I was still in Arizona, so it was waiting for me when I got back home. The give-away was from
Lisa @ Hospitable Pursuits. She has the most pretty blog with a toile background and lot's of pretties to look at. Visit Lisa by clicking
here I am just starting to find spot's for all these lovely goodies! Thank-you Lisa!
I also was the lucky winner of a gift certificate to make my blog into a book. I have just started on it, and I will share it with you when I am done. Thanks goes to
Lori @ Family Trees May Contain Nuts. Hehe. Don't you just love the name of her blog? I know my family tree has a few nuts! Maybe I'm one of them! click
here to see her fun blog!
And how about these beautiful and fun gals!! I know most of you have seen pics on their blogs of our get together. Here is one I took outside the restaurant. We have Ceekay and Sherry in the front row.
Back row is Jamie, Marty and Karen! I can't believe it's been a week already! We had such a blast, yakking,eating and shopping at GW. And then later, Karen and I got a bit lost in Phoenix. Thank goodness she has a better sense of direction than I do. But it was soooo fun! I can't wait until next time!
Oh, and they are all talented as well! Lookie what I got!!
Marty made me this wonderful apple tassel.
And this spoon, that Sherry made. Isn't it just so charming!
Karen made us all these beautiful tags that say Spring. I already have mine out, wishing away for Spring to arrive. If you look out the window, you can see we still have a lot of snow left. It's been melting the past few days with high's in the upper 40's. But, there is a mega amount of snow out there that needs to melt.
And here's the Ceekay bottle! I have it in the bathroom on a shelf. I just love this charming little bottle.
Well, that's it for now. I am still trying to play catch up and I hear laundry,calling my name. YUCK.
Happy Week-end Everyone!

Our weather is just like yours (duh!). We are going to the lake today and I am going to get as much fresh air as I can...lot's of walks! Think I can get Al to go with me? ;-)
