Drumroll Please!


Actually, before the drum roll, I will give myself a pat on the back.

I submitted my yearbook about 9:30 p.m. tonight.  

That is an improvement over last year when I submitted it at literally 11:59 p.m.

The drumroll is for the Giveaway.

There were 27 responses to my Pillow Giveaway.

It was fun to read what people wanted on their pillows if they won

The letter A in black

The White House 

REACH

Blue stripes, red stripes, aqua stripes

and even a blue star.

All of the requests are something I can do.

And we have nothing planned again for the coming weekend - which will be a non-active weekend for another four weeks -  until Steve is out of his sling.

Each of the requests sounded fun, I have the right colors, I have the supplies -

So I generated four different numbers.

I will be making

a REACH pillow for A Nantucket State of Mind

a black letter A for Patty at Patty's Pretty Things

another Little Beans pillow for Vicki at Ranger 911

 and blue stripes for Beachcomber

I have a night meeting at school tomorrow, but I plan to get started on Wednesday.

I need the creative outlet after all the technical work of creating a yearbook.

I will contact each of the winners to confirm the design, colors and size.

Thanks to everyone who joined in the Giveaway.

There will be more because

I love to be creative,

I don't have space in our little cottage for all the things I make, and

most of my friends and family already have numerous handmade gifts from me already.
