A little gift and a thank you

  I didn't even know I was entering a giveaway when I became a follower of Razzy's Special Place.  Razzy emailed me for my address and let me know I was a "winner".  Last Saturday when I went to get the mail there was a surprise for me.  It was wrapped and had a sweet little card too.

Thank you Razzy for the cute little card wallet you made.  I love the colors.  I know it will be very handy for me to use.  This is my first blog prize.

I want to thank Razzy and Eli for encouraging me to start blogging.  I had been alittle afraid to jump right in.   I am like that--always letting my fears hold me back.  I am working to overcome that in my quilting.  Encouragement from others really helps.  I'm not sure why I let my fears spoil my fun, but I am learning sometimes its better to not play it safe all the time.  When it comes to quilting and blogging I am going to be more adventurous from now on.

I finished up my Gifts of Grace block last night.  It is a free BOM from Val.  These are so fun to do.  My first blocks with beading.

I'm looking forward to the end of the month.  All new block patterns to look forward to.  It is a beautiful sunny day here today.  I need to check on the cows and enjoy some sunshine.  Until later--Hugs to you.
