OH. MY. GOSH.

I just have to share with y'all what I won.  I had signed up (and forgot) for a giveaway at Ellison Lane Quilts for the 12 Gifts of Christmas Blog Hop that Jennifer started.  I loved visiting the blogs, seeing the tutorials and getting some new ideas for Christmas gifts.  I signed up in the very beginning for the giveaway.  Actually there were several giveaways, but the GRAND PRIZE giveaway was a $250.00 gift certificate to Fabricworm.  OH. MY. GOSH.  I won.  I WON!!!  I don't even know what to say!  I've been happy dancing ever since I found out and have spent literally hours browsing their website.  WOOOHOO~  "Snoopy, may I have this dance?"  lol  Jennifer, thank you so, so much!  I'm in heaven!

I also wanted to let you know that I decided to sign up for the BOM for the applique pattern that I just bought.  I thought about it for awhile and decided that yes, I DO love flinging fabrics, etc., but this was just a little bit too much flinging for me.  My mind was going in a gazillion directions.  Sooo, I should be getting the first block the first of next week.  I can't wait.  In the meantime, I'm practicing my applique on a piece I started years ago and never finished.  I'm not sure why, as it will be beautiful when finished.  I guess it's because I haven't appliqued in years.  I've been doing a lot of counted cross stitch, so I suppose that was my handwork instead of the applique. I always have to have something in my hands while watching TV, etc.  Now I'm back into my appliqueing and loving every minute of it.  I DO need to work on my points, etc. 

I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!  I'm still doing the happy dance!

Hugs and love from Texas,

P.S.  Be sure and stop by again soon.  Something special is happening next week.  Just sayin'...  :)
