And the winners are......

Good Morning Everyone,
Before I announce the winners, yes winners, let me tell you how much I appreciate the sweet comments everyone left. I showed them to Mother , and she was just grinning from ear to ear.
You would really love her, (I know, I am partial), but she is truly a remarkable woman.

There are not enough words to tell each and everyone of you, both old and new friends, how much I treasure you. I pray for you, and want to help you bear your burdens, as I know you have with me also. Galations 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fullfil the law of Christ.

And since I have gotten to know some things about you all, I might be out shopping and I will see something that you have shared that you collect, or something you enjoy, and your name will come to my mind.

I could go on and on but maybe some other time.

The hardest thing about having a giveaway is that not everyone gets to win, and If I could I would make sure that all would.....

THE HAT! Everyone's name who commented is in here.
These two Hams!! are the reason I haven't posted until now! I want you to look at them. Do they look camera shy? Did I tell you that dh calls my mother every night, and says goodnight to her.
They look like two cheshire cats that have just shared a canary! LOL
The reason you see two names is I decided since Mother had done so much to help with this giveaway, that she needed to be in on the drawing, but I just could not disappoint my sweetie as he so loves to be a part of it. Problem solved... Not quite I couldn't get them together at the same time until yesterday!! So we drew two names!!

Mother said, "but you don't have two aprons to give,"... "that's okay Mother I have something else in mind." I left there with one of her handmade tea towels, and a crochet dishcloth. Story not over...

When I got home , while showering she calls and ask me when was I going to mail them, I said as soon as I got a mailing address. She said "well I have an apron that I am working on and I will have it there tomorrow by noon, if you will wait. So we went back and forth, "no you have done too much", she "yes I want to", well guess who won? Thank you so much Mother.

First name drawn is Debbie at http://debsdailydribble.blogspot.com/has a beautiful heart for God, and I have read her posts, and her love for the Lord shines through. Please go by and visit her, You will leave refreshed and revived. "Debbie, I hope you enjoy your gifts."
The second name drawn is Kat at http://godsheart-heart2heart.blogspot.com/, I have been so blessed by visiting Kat, she truly loves the Lord, and tells of her love for Him on her blog too. I so encourage you to visit her too, you will be so blessed."Kat, I hope you enjoy your gifts too."
Now, if you two dear ladies will let me know where to mail these gifts, I will get them to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, and for going on like this. I plan to have a Christmas giveaway real soon, so be on the look out. You know Christmas will be here before you know it.....

Blessings and hugs,
Sue
Philippians 4:3! I thank my God upon every remembrance of you~

Debbie said...

Oh Sue I am soo excited!! And bless your dear mom for being involved and for the making of that apron. I told my husband yesterday that Sue is having a give away and I would REALLY love to win it. That her mother had made an apron and I just love things like that, and there are some other treasures as well. Something hand made from the heart is extra special. You have been such a blessing and an encouragement for me and I am sooo very glad that we have met. I can't wait to get my "goodies". BTW, I think your dh calling your mom every night to say good night may be one of the sweetest things I have ever heard. I would love to meet your mother and your husband. THANK YOU SOO MUCH dear Sue. I am going to e-mail you my address now. Have a wonderful week. Blessings and love to you, Debbie

Congrats to the winners. I love that your dh calls your mom every night. Love that. Give her a hug for me. I miss my mom so much, you're so lucky you still have yours. Mimi

Rebecca said...

I'm hoping that the lack of posting from you means that you are busy getting your lovely home ready for the holidays. I'm picturing a crowded table, decorated beautifully, your DH carving the fowl at the head of the table, and grandkids sitting side by side with a few of their friends thrown in. How close am I?

Happy Thanksgiving. You are missed, admired, and thought of today :)

Susan B said...
