A couple books that I ordered last week, because there was just such a long wait to get these from the library & I just had to read them. I would love to hear what some of you are reading…
It was so hard to only pick 2 names for the scarf giveaway! (There were 165 entries after totaling up all the comments & the extra entries for adding my little banner to your blog sidebar!) I seriously wish I had a scarf to give to each and every one of you… I think that would take quite a bit of time & sewing though! :) So instead I used an excel spreadsheet & that random number picker and made myself draw just 2 names.
The winners of the drawing are Emily of Ravenhill and Jessica K. of Paper Poppies…

Congratulations on a huge acheivement! Since blogging for about a year and a half I know it takes dedication and love of it to keep the momentum for so long.
There is so much to love on your blog: your inspiring photography, the wonderful children you photograph, the cats and then I guess my alltime favorite eye candy: your colorful crafts!
Thank you for sharing so much!
