Thanks & Hugs & Giveaways & Bright Copper Kettles & Warm Woolen Mittens...

I want to extend a big Thank You to a couple of blogsters out there. First is FishHawk for including me in his list of Sites To See. I very much appreciate the shout out. The next one is John for the EC credits. I was one of the runners up in a contest I didn't even know about! Happy second blogversary John! I'm sure you all know these blogs well but in case you don't, just click on the links and stop by soon.

I have an update on little baby Colton. First I want to say thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes, you know that makes all the difference. Colton has had a second surgery and came through with flying colors, he's a strong little boy. His weight is just over 5 lbs! Now he has to be tough and reach all of his benchmarks for a bit. I am going to visit him on Tuesday, can't wait to see him!

Hugs to blueviolet! Her road is a little bumpy right now and she could use a little support from her friends!

Don't forget about my giveaway. What is it, you ask? Well, we don't know yet. We know that it will be handmade by me, and we know the fabric that it will be made from and I guess we'll have to check in on Thursday to see what sort of shape it is taking on! There are some wonderful suggestions coming in from all of you. Yesterday we had.....wrap skirt, hawaiin shirt, sarong, summer bag, clothesline bag....whatever will it become?
