Yes my sweet peeps, the time has come. During this time of year, we think back on the things we are thankful for. I am very thankful for the many blessings that have come my way. And this year I have so much to be thankful for. After many years of debating whether to build or buy, we are grateful for the house the Lord directed us to. My family has been amazing as we moved to a new house, and then they cared for me when I had my fall.
Blessings sometimes come is surprising ways. Walking through this adventure called life, we cross many paths. Two years ago I would never have thought about blogging. I'd been reading the Pioneer Woman, and one day it seemed like a fun idea to chronicle my quilting story. I never would have thought that I'd have enough to talk about, and actually have people (that's you guys) read my little blog.
It's been so encouraging, amazing, exhilarating, humbling to know each and every one of YOU!! Because you see, there appears to now be

In the spirit of thankfulness, I think the time has come to have a little giveaway :-)
First off, Christie, Describe Happy was my 400th follower, so she will automatically be receiving a little prize. And here is the giveaway scoop. I'm offering for this giveaway two Charm Packs of Winter Wonderland by Arrin Turnmire, plus one yard of coordinating fabric. This is a flannel collection of fabric. Two spools of matching thread and a little Schnibbles pincushion that I made. I also may throw in a couple of other goodies as well.
