Goodies Received

Hello again.  Happy Friday!!  Is it a happy Friday for you?  It kind of is for me.  Today, I'm going to be officially laid off from my company.  The last two weeks, I have been "on the bench" - meaning I got paid for 2 weeks for hanging around at home, sewing and cleaning while they looked for another assignment for me.  I could have taken a 4 week extension to this time but it is unpaid.  I opted not to and requested to be laid off.  I can now start with a clean slate and find work elsewhere.  Now that my work fate has been determined, I'm in better spirits.

Enough work talk.  I would like to show you what goodies I've received in the mail this week.  Thelma was hosting an Eventide quilt along.  I didn't participate in the quilt along but she was giving away prizes to people who commented along the way.  I happen to be one of the lucky winners!

I won a fat 1/8 bundle of Charlevoix!  How cool is that??  Thank you Thelma!!

Next up, there was a book tour for Pat Sloan's "Tour Ireland with Pat Sloan" book and I was one of the lucky winners from AmandaJean's post.  Super cool!  I haven't read it yet but I'm planning to this weekend.  Thank you AJ!

Well, my husband needs the computer and I have errands to run.

Enjoy your day!

Mail Time!

I just wanted to share with you the prize I won from Vickie's 200th post giveaway. I got home late last night from my ceramics class... yeah, that's another hobby I do. I've been taking this ceramics class for 6 years now. It more of a "get together with friends-stress reliever-and if you want to clean/paint/stain/glaze your piece, go right ahead" type of class.

But I digress - I got home about 10 p.m. and there was a package for me on the table from Vickie. Look what I got!

A flower-shaped pin cushion (very cute!)

Mary Engelbreit stickers and soap

mini note pad

little box of buttons

Thanks Vickie! I love my prize!
