Happy Blogaversary to Me

I'm sure all million-and-one of you are waiting to hear if you've won.  Before I disappoint all but three of you, I want to thank you (yes, You!) for being a huge supportive force in my life.  I appreciate it ... more than I can express.

Giveaway One The winner of the bleeding heart handbag is Jane at duchessjane.com!

Giveaway Two The winner of the surprise box of crafty goodness is Dana from Velourian!

Giveaway Three The winner of the Martha Stewart Crafts Frosty Village Decoration Kit is Bnonb!

It's pretty unbelievable how many comments I got.  I had to pick the names from a shopping bag!  Just so you know, I was careful to not put in the double comments (from people whose site didn't show up, etc), so you all had a fair shot at winning. I wish I could have sent you all something.

I wish I'd thought of the comment themes before the third giveaway.  It was so nice to read all the things you love about winter, even those that *hate* it. :)  My favorite thing about winter, and it's super hard for me to pick, is hot cocoa.  I seriously LOVE it.

Someone asked if I'd post pictures of what I'm sending in the crafty box.  I'm a fanatic about loving a surprise, so I'm not going to.  Um, plus it's already packed up and I'm not sure I could fit it all back in again if I took it out! :) I don't think it would ruin the surprise to say that the box contains: yarn, google eyes, sequins, lots of buttons, a bag of vintage trims and notions, fabric, some embroidery floss ... and a holiday surprise.

This has been an awesome crafty-year for me.  Thanks again for being a big part of it!

You hosted one great party! Oh, and because of your crafting in public article I actually stopped and chatted with a women when I saw her knitting in a doctors office. We had a good 10 minute talk. :)
