The winner of the second prize that I added in so you guys could all feel the love that I really do have for all of you, that I have not mentioned what it would be as of yet is........
WandaM
Most of you don't know WandaM but Wanda is really my sister-in-law. I can only wish that each and everyone of you guys out there in blog land have a "Wanda" in your life! I could never say enough good about this lady!! She is truly one in a million! She is married to my brother...for that she deserves a big award ;-))) She will do anything for anyone at anytime no matter what! Period! I Thank God for her daily! My girls are so very fortunate to have her in their lives too!
We all love Wanda! Now after drawing her name, I am afraid that my measly little second prize will not be sufficient!!
I will finish up the loose ends on her gift today and get some pictures up then.
I am so happy to be able to gift these two incredibly lovely ladies who are so special to me!! Terri is very very special in her own way. I really wish we lived closer and could visit each others farms, have coffee, share meals cooked straight from our farms in our really cool farmhouse kitchens, have sewing/quilting visits, go to church together and so on and so forth......
I have another surprise under my hat......
I AM GOING TO VISIT TERRI!!!
Yes, Terri in Wisconsin!!
My wonderful hubby's idea this time too!
I've played around with the idea for almost two years now. She has shown me pics of her great little pump house guest cottage that she was preparing for me. I just seemed to never be able to find the time to get away from this farm for a trip that far away and could only dream about it.
Then one day a couple weeks ago my dearest coon hunting husband said he was going to raise some pups out of his special coon dog and that we would just load up a puppy and take it up to Wisconsin to Terri's boys!! What a great man I have, right!! I cried and cried!
This little trip will be sometime in the late Spring when all the snow has melted cause I am not a big fan of winter and minus twelve degree weather!! The deed has been done and we are expecting pups in a few short months but we won't be traveling til fair weather is here!
"Trent, I promise we will take good care of your pup and get him to you before he is grown! I can't wait that long to meet your mother in person either!"
So after drawing the names of these two very very special ladies in my life, I can say.....
IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY!!
Thanks so much for all your entries, for your patience with me and for always being here for me when I need a little laughter or inspiration or motivation or a shoulder to cry on. You guys are the best!!!
I will get these items in the mail asap and on their way. Hey it just hit me, I will be able to see the table runner on Terri's table in person when we visit her and I will be able to see Wanda's item in use at Christmas!! Yay! I hope these girls are as excited as I am!
Now I am off to finish this project and get back to my decorating of my living room....well my whole house is actually going to get a transformation, one room at a time. This is going to be a great holiday season. I have wanted the painted floors to match for 9 1/2 years now. I finally feel as if I can decorate for Christmas like I have always wanted to do!
{{{SMILE}}}
Get ready there will be lots of pictures to come!

Congrats to the winners! Sorry you have been ill (shingles are SOooo excruciatingly painful! I know!), but wow your kitchen is lookin' great! Lucky you to have such a sweet daughter too :) Get completely well soon! -Tammy
Yippee! Yippee! Yippee! That makes about 3 things I have ever won in my life now! And so glad it was from you! Oh please, please, please come in the spring! I can't wait! The colors match my dining room perfectly and I can't wait to see your beautiful work:)))))))))
Congratulations to your wonderful winners! A trip to visit with Terri will be so special. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.
Get all well soon!
Road Trip : ) You two will have so much fun! Take lots of pictures....
Now Terri, Please don't look too closely at my work, you know I am a beginner! I am also still trying to get used to my machine. I have to say it looks so much better than the one I slapped together for my own table though!!! I was afraid you would air my mistakes online ;-))) hahaha
Tammy ~ Thanks for the well wishes! These dagumed shingles are giving me a run for my patience again today!!! URGH!!! I keep saying to myself that this too shall pass!
Brenda and Mrs Canned Quilter ~ We will have to plan a trip out west at a later date! Now wouldn't that be fun too??? Maybe Terri could meet me out there? Hum?? Terri?
Thanks gals. Love you all!!
