I Won!

Did you participate in
Photobucket
 

or visit blogs that did?

Well I did, I saw this little button and it made me smile,
 I LOVE the movie and it has been so HOT snow and Christmas made me feel cooler...kinda.

We had the best hostess in Marcia,
she and I are going to be great friends,

We both feel God has blessed us "meeting" through her blog,

I had a great time visiting the other participants blogs 
Yesterday I found out I was the winner of her Giveaway!

YAY I am so excited!!!

But I feel I have won in more ways than one, as some of you know I have been struggling a great deal with a lot of issues and I have felt...distant...from my God ...and others as well, I have barely been able to pray.
I thank God for those of you that are praying for me, I can not put into words how you bless me.
 I think God led Marcia and I together through this event and she has blessed me greatly with her wonderful spirit and words. I think I can see a glimmer of light at the end of that tunnel.....

    Aw Ethel, I'm so glad you won. What did you win? Tell us, tell us?
    I received your note. It was so sweet, I was so touched to know you actually sat down and hand wrote a note. I have it sitting in my sewing room right next to my machine where I can look at it all the time. I have been going a little crazy here with all the county fair projects and garden and family stuff. I'm still praying for you and hoping you are moving in the right direction. It sounds like you are, and I am happy to hear that my friend. You take care and stay out of trouble, please!!!! I have enough to worry about without thinking of what you might come up with. I think of you every day when I watch my Lucy and Ethel reruns. I hope the weather is cooperating a bit, we have had a heat wave here too. Yuk. Thanking God for air conditioning every day. Hang in there, thinking positive thoughts for you!

    Oh Jenny, Your blog header takes me home! Ice tea in the summer, sigh. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I am just heart broken that my daughters new family will not be one that will join with my own to make a larger one. Their religion will not allow for it. Anyway, I do hope you find a way back to your prayers. These seem to be such trying times for so many of our blogging friends. I think we may have to just rest awhile in our sadness as God is so busy these days. Take care, Elizabeth

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
