Blue Finch

The recent "Grow Your Own Blog" party hosted by Vicki at "2 Bags Full" was so much fun!

And, the fun continues...  One of the blogs I visited during the party was "Blue Finch".  I enjoyed her blog and began following it and left a comment.  I don't think I realized that she was giving away

a pair of earrings to each person that commented, followed her blog or emailed her.  But soon after I had left a comment, she emailed me to let me know she'd be sending me a pair.

After receiving her email, I popped over to her blog for another look and noticed that she had over 60 comments on that one post.  That's a LOT of earrings to give away.  Not to mention that it would be costly to send all of them.  I wanted to ease her burden and asked that she not send any to me.  But, she insisted.  I think she had a LOT of work ahead of her as she was just recently able to finish all the earrings, pack them up, and ship them.  I received mine this last week.

They're pretty!

They arrived in a fancy box and the earrings were attached to a cute little card stock finch...

I'm excited to wear them!  I really need more earrings as I always wear the same few favorites.

I think these will become part of my regular rotation!

It turns out that Rachel makes lots of beautiful jewelry.

She sells it from her online store... bluefinch.co

Thank you, Rachel, for your generous gift!

March Give-Away Winner

I promised a March give-away to show my appreciation of everyone who takes the time to read my blog and leave comments.  When you leave a comment for me it brightens my day.  I love hearing from each and every one of you.  Your kind words, your opinions, and your thoughts matter.  And, I so appreciate you sharing them with me.  It's a big part of what makes blogging so much fun! Thank you!

I try to respond to every comment through email but I often cannot because of "no-reply" tags and lack of email addresses.  So, if you haven't heard from me after leaving a comment, that is probably why.  But, thank you!

Every comment left on my blog during the month of March was entered into the drawing.  

I used a random number generator to choose the winner.  And, the winner is...

Sweet Posy Dreams

Her blog is filled with cozy, yummy, and beautiful things.  She shares recipes, her beautiful hand made projects, her cozy and pretty home, nature, her adorable dog, Alfie, and much more.  

And, I noticed on her profile that she likes NPR.  That's very cool!  I love NPR and listen to it just about every day.  Stop by her blog for a visit when you get a chance.

The prize is a set of hand knit wash/dish cloths in the color of your choice.  Just let me know what colors you like and I'll get started.  I'll send you an email to find out about colors and

get your address so I can send your prize to you when it's finished.  Congratulations!  

And, thank you again too all my blog friends.  :-)

Happy April!
