400th Post Blog Winner

is Jacq. Here is a pic of my son's hand with the winning name he drew from the Uncle Buck's container where I added all the names.

CONGRATULATIONS JACQ

I will be sending you a goodie box and a triptych Colonial doll.

I was on an interesting blog last night and think I will attempt to follow her instructions. Cami Walker challenged everyone to do a give-away every day for 29 days.

Doesn't matter what the give-away is, just that you begin to give away something - a smile, a parking space (oh that's a big one, esp. if its close to the store and raining, lol), stash goodies, a kind word, etc. You get the idea - right?! Oh one other thing she asks you to journal about it and sign up on the site. She's trying for 2000 participants. I have to admit I didn't sign up; not sure I will.

Well it just so happens that today was my 400th blog post give-away deadline from last week. So the winner of my first ever give-away is Jacq.

I decided to make sure that all eight of you will receive a give-away from me within the next 29 days. So you won't know when you are getting a package. Just be on the lookout in your mailbox. How's that!?!?

How I Came To Know You

Jacq, Fannie and I met online in a fabric postcard exchange.

They have the same birthday in November. Jacq does some wonderful fabric gifts and is a wonderful quilter.

Fannie was in my first postcard mail art exchange.

She encouraged me to begin a blog. And I have not regretted it one day.

What a talented woman, artist, entrepreneur!

Sherry was a member of FAT long before I joined a year ago.

It was my first Yahoo group. What did I know; I was wet behind the ears and green; oh so green. She has a wonderful embroidery business.

I ordered my nephew's new baby gifts from her. They were beautiful.

Noel and I met through FAT too. But I loved reading her blog and her son's blog on "the mask." She is a fantastic beader and all around artist. I have a beaded icicle doll and beaded fish from this great artist.

Cecilia and I met through Latest Trend and an auction Cynthia sponsored to assist a kidney transplant recipient. I was able to acquire Cecilia wonderful leaf piece. The technique was unusual, the art piece a treasure.

She doesn't have a blog yet.

Needlewings Wanda and I met on FAT. She is funny and very out-of-the-box in her artistic abilities.

You are never disappointed with her trades, her workmanship and most of all her great sense of humor. She is busy with classes right now.

Linda and I met through her group on altered books. Her altered books are amazing pieces of art. Oh to one day create like that! She sponsored a round robin altered book exchange and I jumped in with both feet. Its great fun.

and last but not least

Jan has posted through Noel's blog site. Jan has more in common with me than she knows. I see she created her blog in Oct 2007 also. I love her quilt work.

And she is having a blog give-away too. Check her out

Thank you all for giving me an opportunity to get to know you.

I consider you all dear blogger friends.

Blogger is being a bugger and not keeping my paragraphs,

so everything is coming out jumbled. Arrgh!!
