Winner of 1st Ever Giveaway!
So, here's the deal...and a little tiny rant okay?
Just a little one?I'm exhausted from spending all day yesterday in a hospital after waking up at around 2am yesterday morning....but we did get beautiful Logan out of all that sleeplessness!Yay!And, I know my draw date is today, so I go to the site with the random draw thingamahoozie on it and download it onto my blog, generate the winner... #9
....and when I publish the blog, the numbers disappear from the whatchamahoozie and it looks like it's up to the world to just generate the darned winner!(Sorry Sharon...hahaha....I'm happy you won!)So, folks, because you've gotta know that it would have been so much easier for me to walk down to my neighbours and drop the pillow off or drive intothe nearest city and do the same, but I'm going to mail it promptly to the beautiful U.S. of A.....because I'm HONEST, you must trust that she really is the winner!And, I HONESTLY don't have the inclination, strength or techno powers tofigure this random draw thingamajig out today!Congratulations Sharon from Mrs. Hine's Class!You won!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzxo(winning number based on each eligible person entered...excludes non US/Canadian entries and family.)
I know we're all totally sucked in by puppy photos right?
And, I swore I wouldn't be one of those people that shows photos of their pets all over their blog,but,Sweet Blarney is just so darned cute!And, when I noticed that the most ever views I ever had on my site was the dayI posted about Blarney's big homecoming HERE and shared him with you, I thought.....hmmmm.I think they like doggie photos!(not sure what that says about anything else I do here...but not even going to mull that one over for too long or it might make me crazy!)Okay....so tell me he isn't the schmoosiest little pup in the whole wide world!
I dare yah!
He's so silky soft and so sweet tempered.
The other day I was sitting on a big comfy chair with my feet on the ottoman, reading my kindle (of course) and he crawled up onto me and nuzzled his head in the crook of my arm and went right to sleep....snoring gently.
He's now 13 weeks, but this was taken at 12 weeks.
His colouring has darkened up to the rich mahogony it will be when he's an adult even more in the past week and the feathering in his coat is starting to fill in.He understands "no" and tries very hard to listen.He sits for his supper and treats.He almost never has accidents on the floor anymore.What's not to love!?Oh...okay....maybe I have a problem with the large branches he tries to bring through the doggie door sometimes. Or, this incredible yelp/talk he bellows at our other dogs when he wants something they have have. Um, yah...I've got to admit, the jumping up onto the counter with his front paws to try to get the food up there is a littleirksome. Oh! Best of all...he loves to grab my dirty socks or underwear out of the laundry basket which just happens to be near the doggie door, and take them outside to play with.....but he's only a puppy!That's what they do right?God love 'im!Don't forget about THISThe Draw takes place

My giveaway is something I thoroughly enjoyed creating and one of my most
recent crafting ventures.Accessorize Your Pillow!One Pillow, with five embellishments you can change up using avelcro strip for a holiday or occasion or even just the room colour!Now, I know the Valentine ones are a bit late for the holiday, but you'll have them
for next year tucked away in a drawer or you could just pull
it out for a romantic evening with the man....ambiance...you know?!
And...now that you have the base, which I sewed with my own two hands by the way,
all you have to do is make your own embellishments.
The pillow is pre-washed dropcloth and cotton, so should wash up lovely and
the five embellishments you see here will be mailed to the winner with the pillow!
TO ENTER the GIVEAWAY:
1. Follow me on "Linky Followers" if you don't already
AND
2. Make a comment on this posting telling me what "embellishment" you think you'd make for the base pillow.
(If you can't think of anything, just make a comment!)
The Winner will be announced on Valentine's Day and will be picked
by a Random Draw.

My Six Month Anniversary of Blogging is in two days!
Personally, I can't believe I'm actually still blogging.
I'm usually the type of (Gemini) person to start and stop things rather quickly.
You know the type....that knows a little bit of everything, but not well?
I thought I'd just highlight some of my past postings over the next couple days for those of you who may not have known I even existed and don't have the patience or time to look back at everything I've written or accomplished.
