Overwhelmed....Pumpkins

I decided to post an updated picture of my progress on The Great Pumpkin Conspiracy. I will have it finished this weekend for sure! Here is the latest picture:


I woke up this morning to find a wonderful surprise on my kitchen table: that huge giveaway that I won over at Cindy Mae's blog at the end of 2009! Yay!!! I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the goodies inside the package and so thankful to be the recipient of such a wonderful prize! Thank you so very much Cindy Mae!  :D

Here are some pictures of my winnings:

 Group 1 
(you will notice that Cindy Mae included a small stitched piece and a couple of her cording)

 Group 3

Even Sandy had to take a look at all of the stash I received!

I am not sure what I want to do first, but there are a couple of front-runners for sure. 

I will post another update on the finished Great Pumpkins tomorrow along with the latest Postcards received.

Don't forget to check out my "Giveaways" links in the side bar at right. There are some incredible giveaways happening right now!

And a big heartfelt WELCOME to all of my new followers! I am going to have to be more diligent on welcoming you sooner. 

Until then...

Holi-versary Giveaway!

On October 1, 2008 I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon! I really didn’t think it would last this long. Nor did I think I would make friends through this avenue. But it has and I did! I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year. For those of you who don’t know, my father passed away in September after a battle with cancer. Thus gaining my “independence”.

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Image
Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

I choose to look at it in a positive way: I am STILL ALIVE!!! I know HE has a plan for me and my life. I am thankful everyday that I wake up. I am also thankful for my stitchy friends here in bloggy-land. Just because we don’t know one another on a personal level doesn’t mean we don’t know one another, right?! So, I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all. I am going to do a giveaway. Yup! I will call it “My 40th Year Giveaway”. What will be included in this giveaway you might ask? Well, stay tuned!
