We have winners!!

Due to the unexpected interruptions, I didn't have access to a computer until today, Dec. 27. But I finally was able to do a drawing including all my new followers...

The winners are...

First Prize - Windy Cindy! She will get a set of Nicole Watson's beautiful handmade cards ( I made the cards, but they were here design.) She charges $5.00 per card and they really are stunning!

Second Prize - Trudy Callan! She will get one of Nicole's cards or a candle..her choice. Trudy--you won..fair and square. Trudy has a wonderful blog and is a blogger's best friend. I gave her a candle at Christmas just because she has been helping me get started and mentioning me to her followers. I'm have lots to share but don't know much about getting my stuff out and available to others. Trudy, you can have a another candle...or a card by Nicole. You know how pretty those are!

Third Prize goes to Christi Lachney! She will get a candle because she actually donated the jars that I used...over a year go before she moved away from Houston. (Thanks Christi!) I'll pitch in a soap too--it's castile soap.

I will be sending your prizes this coming weekend when I get to go home and spend some time with the family. I want to tell you all aobut the blogs of our new winners, but just can't quite yet. I'm swamped here at Dad's house with getting his immediate needs taken care of. But I should be able to update my post later today. I used random.org to generate the winning entries. Cindi...I need you to email me at homemaking@eastex.net to send me your address and then this weekend I can get your prize to you. (You too Christi!)

Thanks you so much, everyone, for your patience and for your interest in my blog. I plan to focus on organizing and cleaning topics this next week...so check back for more!

And the Winners are....

Congratulations to the Winners of this first Saturday's Drawing!
