Hello Dear Friends! My computer crashed shortly after my last post.......we now have a new hard drive and I'm getting things reloaded (a rather inconvenient process, sigh.) Thankfully, we haven't lost too much! I never realized how addicted I am to the computer, LOL ;) Nor did I realize exactly how much email has become the primary form of contact. Especially with the kiddos...school updates and newsletters, activity schedules, etc. All email, all the time. So, I've felt quite disconnected the last two weeks. Oh, hubby's been checking the email at work and I've been stopping by the library every few days to check it there~~but it's really not the same.

But I tell you, I sure can get a lot of other stuff done without the computer to distract me, LOL!!! I stitched this little floss tag, not quite sure who I was going to send it to. Then it came to me that Carolyn could use a little "pick-me-up".

The first photo is a little closer to the actual linen color, but it's still a bit darker IRL. I have much to catch up on and am having trouble with my google reader (hopefully I can get that straightened out soon!) I've been left a few bloggy questions that I'll try to get to next time around. Thank you to everyone who checked in to make sure I was ok~~didn't think anyone would even notice I was offline! Hugs everyone :)

Spring Giveaway!

Happy Easter!!! I hope that you are all having a wonderful day. We have cleaned, decorated, dyed, hidden and hunted and are now awaiting family to come for dinner. This year's festivities are low-keyed, partly because I was sick and partly because Easter is so early this year and I didn't really feel 'ready' for it. But the bunny did visit and left a few goodies for the kiddos :)
Annemarie let me know that she received a little RAK that I sent her, wow the mail was fast! I enjoy her way with words and her stitching and this was my little way of brightening her day as she has brightened many of mine.

I've had over 2000 visits to my blog, I am just astounded...and thrilled!!! I can't believe that anyone is interested in what little 'ol me is doing! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I love reading all of your wonderful comments, you guys are the best! I've found so much inspiration and creativity in all of your blogs......it is helping me to be more productive and creative and to push my boundaries. As my little thank you, I'm offering this collection of 10 tins of various shapes and sizes (empty) as a spring giveaway!

If you would like to be entered in the drawing, just leave a comment on THIS post only. You have until midnight (MDT) next Saturday (3/29/08). On Sunday morning I'll make one of the kiddos earn their keep by being a random number generator. This drawing is open to everyone......Good luck :)
