Good Tuesday Morning Everyone!
WE have a Winner for my little Giveaway and having used Mr. Random Number generator with 14 entries he chose number 5! Congratulations to Barb and Sharon, would you kindly send me your snail mail address to mitzjidebos@yahoo.ca and I will make certain it gets into the post on its way to you posthaste! To all other entrants, I thank you for entering and hope you will come back again for my next giveaway, whenever that might be.
I hope once the charms reach their destination that eventually Barb and Sharon will come back and show off what they made with them.
I regret the delay in posting, but managed to go further afield in seeking accommodations and the day slipped right past me! Bed inspection seemed my only answer as I was exhausted.
As you all know I have been searching for a residence to move to, so far nothing of interest to me has turned up, yet! Being just me, myself and I though means I can move anywhere and armed with this knowledge I have been hunting further afield from here in the Bay. Once I thought I had found the right location, but so far it has ended up being a naught. Because I hate moving, the packing of everything and then the unpacking once you get to where ever it is you finally choose to settle, I decided this time I would make the effort to find just the right place for me, not something I must settle with or have to move from again for a very long time. This was supposed to have been that place, but not so. Is there ever a right place? Of course there is and I aim to make the supreme effort to find it. LOL
Maybe a cabin in the woods,
or one perched on a mountaintop,
or a house on a beach somewhere,
and any one of these would be ideal! Where ever it ends up being, there has to be lots of light and airiness and a place where my stash can fit along with me who knows where I will end up?
This hot weather just zaps the energy from you when your out travelling about and as you may recall my van is sickly. In but several hours from now I have an appointment with the car doctor to see if he can fix whatever is wrong with my van. Seems the dashboard gauges still aren't working and they just keep on flaping back and forth like their windshield washers instead of gauges!
On that note I say cheerio for the moment, thank you all once again for taking part in my little bit of Halloween fun in the heat of July, cause I know when that special dress up day arrives, it most likely will be cold and wet and windy.
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it. ~Jacques Prévert
Lookee here, it is Friday once again! Happy Friday and preliminary wishes for a happier weekend!
I said I wouldn't post again until the giveaway was over, but, as you know today it ends and only 3 entries with just hours left today for you to enter. What is it that my giveaways don't seem to make a splash? Waiting for others to host giveaways or entering others I see scads of people entering, but somehow I just do not seem to generate the same interest. Guess it is time for me to quit giveaways and just concentrate on postings.
Yesterday I made a necessary trip across our borders. On my return entering into Canada once again I was asked by the Border Control Officer to drive up to the left, park and take my receipts inside. I did this, the officer behind the desk asked me the same questions as the officer did at the entry point, took a quick look at my receipts and bid me a good evening.
Returning to my vehicle and starting up the engine, my dash gauges all went crazy, and now I have an appointment with my vehicle's doctor. OH NO! SO all of the $'s I saved yesterday will now be put to another use!
I am still taking aspirin
for the pain in my leg and back but slowly, very slowly the pain is subsiding! I exercise it as much as possible but it certainly is very slow in repairing and of course I am not the most patient of people when my mobility is interrupted. LOL
Here is a wonderful new blog I have stumbled across, I am certain your going to enjoying visiting, it is called The Needle and Thread Network, WOW what a very interesting blog to visit. There is something there for everyone's creative side. Through this blog you will find Jackie of Jackie's Art Quilts, now this is one interesting quilter. There are more at the blog than just Carolynn and Jackie, there are so many interesting people you can meet through the Network. You can literally spend some serious time here.
I wish to thank you for stopping by for a visit today, I just wish there were more entrants to make this giveaway more fun, but, in any case I wish you a wonderful Friday and a great weekend to follow.
IF you have any ideas about why my Giveaways are clunkers, I could certainly use them, so go ahead and tell me what I should do differently, please?
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~William A. Ward
