A giveaway win for me......

Before I show my giveaway win, I want to thank all of you who have emailed and/or gone to Laurie's blog to see how you can help with the project she is putting together so our blogging friend, Terry, knows we are all thinking of her and her family right now. Also.....a sigh of relief that Barb (our blogging friend in American Samoa) is getting some messages out on Facebook AND has managed to do a blog posting since the earthquake and tsunami. We are all feeling lucky that she isn't hurt....even while at the same time we are very saddened at the tremendous devastation and loss of life so nearby to her home.

It seems almost wrong to post about something happy like a giveaway with all of this "stuff" going on around us, but I do want to acknowledge Cora's blog and her birthday and the giveaway she had, which I was lucky enough to win. Below are the prizes......and they are ones I love.....pretty floral panels (I'm thinking throw pillows) and also some great Kaffe Fassett charm squares. Thank you, Cora...and Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday today, too, to Gene Black....a great blogging buddy and friend. And...one more thing....how did it get to be October already???? Weren't we all just looking forward to summer...and now it's come and gone and it's OCTOBER already??? Geesh....that means the holidays are fast approaching, doesn't it????
