'Tis The Season...

Thank you, my friends, for all your kind and generous anniversary wishes. I read each one to Handsome and he shares my sentiment. You're all so thoughtful to leave us such nice messages. Hugs to each of you from both of us!

Now, on to the important stuff! (giggle) Drum roll, please! And the winners of my two Spring Magic Mug Mats (Chosen by the Random Number Generator) are...
#27 - Debra of Common Ground
#1 - Sherry of Createology
Congratulations, Debra and Sherry!
You've been faithful followers for a long time and I'm thrilled that you've won my impromptu drawing. I have both your addresses and will send your mats out to you.
All those fabulous pre-Christmas giveaways from fellow bloggers got me to thinking. The Season of Giving doesn't need to end on Christmas Day. I've decided to sprinkle a few little giveaways between now and the first week of January.

This giveaway is for the 2010 issue of Christmas from Gooseberry Patch, filled with fabulous holiday ideas and recipes and a little Christmas house tea pot. I'm even going to add a container of our favorite Instant Hot Cocoa Mix and a couple of candy canes!

You don't have to become a follower of my blog, but this giveaway is for followers only. There ought to be perks for reading my musings on a regular basis, after all. Make sure that I have a way to contact you if you win, too, please.

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post (only) to be counted in the drawing. That's it!
This drawing will be open until 10 pm New Years' Eve, and I'll announce the winner on New Years Day. Good luck!

DRAWING IS CLOSED. Thanks to everyone who left a comment.

  10. The past month as I've read your blog I am inspired by your talent! I have looked for the beauty in the snow and overcast skies, made a goal to attempt to piece my first quilt ever!

  14. We don't need perks for reading your blog - seeing your fun puppy pictures and your beautiful quilts is enough of a perk! But thanks for having a giveaway anyway.

  15. I was thumbing through that Gooseberry Patch issue at the grocery store one day. Looked like it had some great stuff. I thought of you a lot over the past couple of days, wishing you could come help me thread my sewing machine!
