Celebration Giveaway Winner Is...


Let me just say I am the biggest winner of all, because I have this precious, beautiful, sweet granddaughter in my life now, to love! She has been long waited for and prayed for, but we have her now, and I feel so blessed!!

Ok, also I win, because of all of these wonderful comments, wow, had no idea there would be so many of you! Loved reading them each day!

What you have really been waiting for is the announcement of whose name was drawn. I will share with you how I did it, I took all of the numbers in Alexandra's birthdate which was 7-2-9 and that totaled 18. I could have drawn names/numbers out of a hat, used the randomizer, but thought this would be involving Allie Bug even more, using her birthdate. And the winner is...drumroll...Tracey (North Carolina), from I Stitch, Therefore I am! A great big congratulations, Tracey! Please do email me soon, my email address is accessible through my profile, with your complete mailing address! I would like to send your package by early next week!

Also since there were so many entries and I do wish I could send you all something, I decided to have a runner up prize of just the chart, With My Needle! For this prize I put my daughter Ashley's (Allie Bug's mom) birthdate together 4-12-83 and the number's total is 99! Gaynor (Ireland) from Stitchers Anon has won! Congratulations, Gaynor! Again, please email me soon with your mailing address, so that I can post your package soon!

Once again, thank you all for commenting and following my blog! Your comments on every post make my day, such a joy to read each one!

May your day be a blessed one, full of every good thing!!




Love, Jan

Wow...I cannot believe it. I saw how many people had entered and though how lovely it was that your grandaughter is now so blessed with so many people congratulating her arrival that I didn't even think to to read through the full post lol.
I just skimmed through it again and gave out such a yell that the whole family came running. I wish they were that quick when the chores need doing lol
Thank you so much, and congratulations Tracy...it is a lovely prize.
