...and the winner is



...Jackie...
Jackie wins my gently read copy of
"Orange Mint & Honey "
Jackie I've sent you an email
*********
it was so nice on Saturday..
I made sweet tea with mint from the
garden ...slept in the hammock after
browsing Romantic Homes..and
listened to music.
Planted some sunflower seeds and
relaxed. Saw my MR Hummingbird friend
and my turkey girl..now known as Henny Penny
since our wren is Jenny Wren..
what a joyous day.
love to you all

  2. Dearest Deena,
    So happy you got it, did the birdhouse make it in one piece? How about the angel and candle? I have never shipped a birdhouse before and was worried about the sticky out parts! :)

    XXOO,

  6. I've just gotta say this. I can't wait till this whole challenge is over for you cause for those of us with no family at all...I really really miss your Friday night family fun photos with your Grandchildren. I really looked forward to them to end my weeks with some vicarious fun and laughter. I'll bet it's been a little empty and blue for you too. So, heres to more Friday night Grand photos SOON! (Don't tell Jack though, he doesn't understand that dogs are not boys.)Church

  19. Hello Deena,
    I have been thinking about you and praying for you...your lilacs are so beautiful. When I moved to the house I have lived in now for 16 years there were lilac bushes all across the front. I am still waiting for them to bloom, they never have. We had them growing on our farm. Take care and hugs to you Pinkie Denise
