Weekend and Winner!

Just a real quick post.  Friday night, my oldest son had his last fall baseball game.  From there we traveled up to the mountains to visit my parents for the weekend.  It was a weekend of flea markets, hikes in the woods, playing with cousins, fire hall craft shows and food, shopping and just being together.  We just came home this afternoon and now I have to get my household ready for family that is coming for Thanksgiving at our house.

I picked a winner for the giveaway ~ Calamaty Jr.!   Congratulations!  If you remember, I want to tailor the goodies to the winner, so even I don't know what I'm going to send yet!  I have emailed for a list of likes and wishes, from which I will put something together.  Once it is received, I'll share with everyone.  Thanks to all who participated and for following me through my first year! 

Congratulations also go out to my oldest two boys.  They tried out and were picked for teams at the All Star Baseball Academy!  Practices start in a couple of weeks!  I am very proud of both of them!

I hope to do another post soon with some pictures.  I'm still working on "We Sing Thee Merrily" and have to finish my exchange piece and get that package in the mail.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Shout Out and a Winner!

I know I said I would pick a winner of my birthday giveaway on Friday, but my schedule has been crazy.  Thursday evening was a big night for the boys.  It was the Cross-Over Ceremony for scouts.  My oldest is now completely finished with cub scouts and I am happy to say he is continuing on with the boy scouts.  He hopes to one day achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.  The younger guys moved up a rank for next year.  And finally, after 5 years, my husband has stepped down as the leader of the Pack  (do you all have that old song in your head now?) so he can move on to helping with the boy scouts.  Last night and today have been filled with baseball.

I want to share a link with you to a fairly new blogger.  You can find my friend, Jacki, over at A Whole Lotta Latte.  She started her blog in February and I just recently found out about it!  Please hop on over and give her a big warm welcome.  She has a smokin' needle and does some wonderful projects.

Have I kept you waiting long enough?  Okay then, there were 25 comments left on the giveaway post.  I plugged the numbers into the Random Generator and the number it spit back at me was 6.  Congratulations Margaret, you left the 6th comment!  Please shoot me an email with your address and I'll get to the post office as soon as I can! 

With my crazy schedule, there has been little stitching. I have picked Jenny Bean Humble Servant back out of the WIP pile.  I'd really like to have it finished before the end of May, as my local LNS, the Strawberry Sampler, is having a May Framing Sale.  20% off, including the labor charge!! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you find time to put needle to thread!
