Giveaway Time and Goodies in the Mail!

 
I've received some wonderful goodies in the mail lately!  I was lucky to win this beautiful necklace from the talented Tricia of A Rosy Note !  It was made by her sister Kristi Roshau , who makes beautiful jewelry!  You can click on the link to check out her wonderful designs.  Thank you, Tricia and Kristi...I love it!


Recently I ordered these wonderful antique lotto markers from the etsy shop of sweet Kim of Numinosity !  They are different than any I have had before and I just love them! 


But Kim surprised me with some goodies, too...some of her artwork and glass beads...


and this lovely bracelet!  Thank you SO much, Kim!


Another sweet (and I do mean sweet) surprise in the mail came from my friend Missy, of My Cottage Charm !  Missy sent me this huge mug~ and I like my mugs BIG...


and some of her homemade coconut balls and chocolate covered cherries (I may or may not have eaten a few before these photos).  Reading her blog, I have always thought she must be a very good cook...and now I know I was right!  SO GOOD!!  Thank you so much, Missy!




One last goodie in the mail...this lovely necklace from my inspiring friend Cindy Adkins of Whimsical Musings !  I love how she used the clip to hold the altered domino...so clever!  Cindy is a talented artist and writer with several e-books on Amazon right now!



I hope you will visit these great ladies, you will be glad you did!  Thanks also to all of you who sent sweet cards in the mail...it was 
sure fun to get the mail lately!
The following giveaway is now ended... 
I have made so many wonderful friends on the blogs...I appreciate all of you and your visits to my blog!  You support and inspire me and I enjoy every minute of it!  I've decided to celebrate the coming of a New Year~ it's time for a little goodie giveaway! I've put together a package of ephemera and fun...bingo cards, French vocabulary cards, dominoes, a booklet of sheet music, and old notebook and a school card, clothespins, a piece of crocheted lace, old Euro photo postcards, crinkled seam binding, and a vintage French book.  Goodies for art and fun!
