Wishing you...

a very, very Merry Christmas!...

finally...the winners!

...and here they are:

Megan from left-handed scissors

Heidi from my hiding place in cyberspace

Kirsten from tollipop

and Monique.

Congratulations to all four of you and thank you to all of you who took the time to comment so very sweetly! I bet some of you thought that I would never announce the winners as I did give a week for the giveaway... Well, my last week has been pretty busy and I finally resorted to using the random number generator to pick winners, because every day I kept running out of time to do "the little papers in the bowl"  method to pick winners. So, to make up for the longer duration of this giveaway, I decided to pick four winners instead of two.

I also want to thank you for your most amazing response to my pillowcase-stocked  Etsy shop... Wow! I'm so happy that there is an interest in buying the pillowcases because I love making them; I will therefore keep making more to list them on Etsy.

We are getting to that pre-Christmas crunch time -- I know I've been feeling it this past week, but although it's been a bit frantic at times, I've also had my share of fun crafting at my children's school ... I'll show you what I've been up to with the school kids in my next post -- 'just have to take a few photos...

So, do have fun with it and of course...Good Luck!

plumping and more pillow plumping...

...that's what I've been up to because I'm in the middle of taking pictures of all the crochet-trimmed pillowcases I've made so far. As soon as I'm done, I'll be having a pillowcase giveaway right here (Yay!); I'll also be stocking my Etsy shop with a bunch... this should all be done before the weekend so I hope you come back and visit!
