Valentine Giveaway!

Nope, this is not the giveaway but this is a giveaway I won over at Squash House Quilts. Candace had a "Dreaming of Summer" giveaway and I was one of three winners.
For some reason the picture flipped which I can't figure out why it happens but anyway look what I won. I have been thinking about getting some of these Morgan lap hoops but I don't have to think about it any more because I won several sizes. Look at all the extra goodies Candace sent too. Some very yummy chocolate from her area. Thank you so very much Candace. You have blessed my socks off. This is going to make doing my punch needle so much easier and less strain on my arm. Check out Cathi's post here and you can see the hoop in use. Cathi has taken up punch needle too.
Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend so let's have a giveaway!
Here is what you could win: a lavender sachet I made using some of my vintage buttons, a wooden spool with some vintage rick rack, a vintage hankie, ribbon with hearts on it, a pattern for a table runner or mantle scarf and of course, chocolate.

Just leave a comment by February 11 telling me whether you would rather receive chocolate or flowers for Valentine's Day, if you had to pick one. I will have my daughter draw a name on February 12.

I have also received some awards. One was from Allie. It is the Lemonade Stand Award for showing attitude and gratitude. I am honored Allie that you chose me as one of the recipients. Thank you Allie.
Kim D. gave me this award. Thank you Kim for giving me this award. You make me blush because I am not sure what I have done to deserve either one of these awards.
With this award you are supposed to tell seven interesting things about yourself. I can not thinks of seven things but I will tell you one. It might be interesting and it might not be. I'll let you be the judge.

When I was dating my husband I lived in Florida at that time. As you know my husband is a surfer and he used to skate board too. At that time we lived in Panama City which is in the panhandle of Florida. One day we are at the beach and says to me, "let's jump off the 15 ft. high fishing pier."

I was scared to death but I did it. First and last time!

Thanks again to Allie and Kim D. for the awards. All my regular readers you deserve them too. So feel free to add it to your blog. You all are the best.

Now let me see those comments about chocolate or flowers!

With Passion,

Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.
