I Won a Giveaway!

A wonderful package came in the mail today. I won a butterfly wreath from Tricia Fountaine from Conversation with the Muses. http://triciafountaine.blogspot.com/ She did a wonderful write-up about me as well (I'm blushing), you can read it below:
I had my random number generator (my husband) give me a number between one and 55 (the number of people who are followers and who commented on the post).  He came up with 54.  This matches a wonderful woman by the name of Linda Carole Bloom.

I went to her blog and was surprised that I had not seen it before.  I thought I had peeked into all of the "blogger creates" posts.  I am so happy such a lovely person won it.  Not only is she a creative person with a great studio she is also a critical care nurse.  She did the most beautiful post on nurses, photos of their hands doing their work, it brought tears to my eyes!  Please go and visit her blog, it is lovely!  Unfortunately I have had my share of family and friends in critical care and I understand as much as one can how incredibly important these amazing people are.
One of my friends who is no longer with us was in critical care for many months.  I made a wreath for her which then proceeded to circulate all over the ward and everyone had their pictures taken with it on, generating much laughter.  Soooo....  it is my wish that Linda wear it to work and see what happens.
Linda I will email you through your blog and get your address so I can send this off to you,  Thank you so much for what you do!  It is of such importance and value!  I would gladly make you a hundred wreaths for what you do!!!
Also thank you to everyone who came by for a visit and left such lovely comments.  You are all very special to me!
Blessings to everyone!!!

P.S.  She has dogs...  I hope they do not mind a few cat hairs.  Maybe she can tell them they are butterfly hairs...


Isn't that nice?? Here's the wreath in person:

Happy beginning of fall, Love, Linda

  3. Well it sure took long enough... sorry :( They say that when you are off with the faeries you loose track of mortal time... that is my story and I am sticking with it!!!!
    I really have been off with the faeries as I have been in Oregon at the Faerieworlds Harvest festival for the last week, very crazy fun!!! I will have a post all about it soon.
    I am so glad you finally received your wreath and I hope that you love it. It is so strange to have made my little art piece and have seen it sitting on my lamp in my home for the last month or so to then see it in pictures on you... Very strange this artistic life I am living.
    Thank you again so much for the very important work you do. So much that you give with so little compensation. My little butterfly wreath is a small token of the appreciation I feel for the work you do.
    Please wear it in good health and know that tons of love went into the making of it.
    Lots and lots of blessings,
    Tricia Fountaine
