SURPRISE! SURPRISE! We Have A Winner! Come On Down!!!

It's... Beverly (How Sweet The Sound)!!!

Yes, Beverly, you are Queen for the Day! :-)

You did not win a refrigerator, but you did win the book, FLAIR by Joe Nye!

And just in case you think we only have one crowning, SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

 We had to have a Miss Congeniality...

Better to be congenial than a runner-up, don't you think???

I bet she'll think so, too!

And Miss Congeniality would be JoAnn (Scene Through My Eyes)...

Come on down, JoAnn!

You are the winner of Wendy Sheppherd's  (of the blog Ivory Spring) new book on quilting!!!

Wendy is my girl!  Love her so much!  She is a world-class quilter and as beautiful (inside and out)...

As her quilts are...

And please note that this is not a paid advertisement.  Oh, no!   I am buying and having Wendy ship her book to you, JoAnn, so I will need your email address.  I will hop over to your blog and get it, and then I will be contacting you soon! And I will do the same for you, Beverly!  (Y'all know I had to switch emails due to some "issues")

Thank you to Mr. Magpie who did the drawing for me.  He reached his mitt into this fire bucket...

Where each of the names was placed on a ticket...

Which he scrambled around...

 Whereupon he pulled one hot ticket and then the other!

Congratulations, Ladies!  I hope you enjoy your books! :-) :-)

Now, I think you know how much I wish I could give each of you other ladies a prize, and if I could, I would.  You are all winners to me and all deserving!

But since I could only afford two prizes, I want you to go away with my thanks and love for entering this drawing and for all the sweet well wishes on my Blog Anniversary.  I even entered our friends from England and around the world and decided to spring for the extra postage and customs if you had won.  But it appears that we have winners from the East Coast and the West Coast of the USA.

Last but not least, I hope all of you have a wonderful, WONDERFUL 2015.  I look forward to blogging with you throughout the year(s) to come!  xoxox

I am going to be MIA for a few days as I have a medical appointment coming up as well as some deadlines on a major project.  But I will come visit you just as soon as I return.  

I have so enjoyed seeing what you have been up to of late, as always.

Fondly,

Mrs. Magpie (Sheila) :-)

P.S.  Briana, I would love to do lunch with you!  Soon!  Love you, Bunny Girl! xoxo
