Thank you for inviting me to your lovely blog and your generous giveaway! They are both very pretty...and who doesn't like homemade!

I took off today because we had a meeting with the prosecutor about my daughter, Ashley. It's been a hard day, I come here to see and explore beautiful things and beautiful people!

Good luck on the drawing :)

    Hi Connie,

    Thanks for stopping by! Yes, I'll have a place to hang my canvas --- I'm thinking in my bedroom but we'll see. I'm hoping to finish it this weekend.

    Oh, love the lanyards. I have to wear a badge at work so that would spruce it up nicely! My choice would be number one!!! Thanks for letting me know about your great giveaway. Don't you just love those Sommerset magazines!

      Hi Kay, I am addicted to their magazines, and they don't come cheap . . . so I really have to watch myself.
      I do consider them more of a book, because I always treasure them and keep them nicely on the shelf. Every now and then I grab a few and just get lost in the art. I don't care how old the issue is, it is always full of fresh ideas, again, and again :)

    Hello new blogging sister! Thank you for commenting on the blog post about me on the I'm a Late Bloomer blog, and for the kind words in your email.

    I love your lanyards! They are so cute! I just read that article in Sew Somerset Magazine (love that mag!) about two days ago, and I was thinking that I'd like to make some lanyards one of these days. I need to get some other things off my plate first!

    I'm about to click your follow button, and I am going to love following your blog. I will add you to my Blogroll too!
    Have a fabulous day Connie.
