The second full moon of this month, the Blue Moon, is December 30th and it’s lovely to end this year on such a beautiful note. All that to say, I’m over the moon because

    Hello from the other side of Virginia! What a great giveaway- all the things are so nice, but I'm a sucker for books- if I had my pick I'd choose the dishcloth book first. But I'd be happy to rec'v any of your prizes.

    Darling, you are! I love reading Gift From the Sea, but I can never resist a craft book, and your mug rugs are the cutest, coziest I've ever seen. So I don't want to choose. Hooray to your winners, and I'll be tickled if I'm one of them.

    p.s. your blog is charming.

    Hello Sandra!

    What a neat giveaway! Sounds like fun so count me in. Hmmm, I'd say I'm interested in the mug rugs. I love the name! Very cute ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh! A week or so ago, you asked what I did at my job. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond! I answer phones for an IT company. Eight and a half hours of sitting waiting for a phone to ring. Not by any means what I'm craving to do but I'm thankful. Plus, when the computer doesn't crash (my computer doesn't work properly at the IT company…ironic?) I'm able to spend time with my bloggy friends!

    I hope you have a marvelous Thursday!
