Thank you so much, Linda Jo!

Linda Jo, of Linda Jo's Obsession just celebrated her 500th blog entry. That is a lot of creating and writing and a great accomplishment. She does some wonderful artwork, including stitching and paper arts and is a member of the Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group, who, in my opinion. make some of the coolest art work I have seen on blogs. To celebrate, she had a FIVE DAY GIVEAWAY! How exciting is that!

I appear to be on a winning streak (this is number three). Yesterday I was notified by Linda Jo that I had won a prize in her giveaway! You would think this would get a little ho-hum, but, no, I am over the edge with excitement. I can't wait to get my lovelies in the mail (and know they may come after my trip). For me, there is nothing as wonderful as a present. Ask my husband and daughter. I love any present but if they are handmade or teach me something more about creating, I love them most of all.

The  giveaway I won from Linda is a Puffy Heart made by her BFF Virginia!

(who, says Linda, was HEAVILY inspired by Roben Marie!!!)

And that's not all! I won a little pad with a topper that both Linda and I learned to make from a Teresa ezine! I think these little pads with toppers are the cutest thing ever. My friend, Donna, and I always make them for everyone at our women's retreats. Linda's has her usual personal touch. I really love it.

Thank you, Linda, for your huge generosity to the blogging community. I love reading your blog and have had it on my favorites for a long time...well, almost as long as Kat and I have been here.  So, readers, if you want a very good read and some fabulous stitching, paper craft, photographs and more, head over to Linda Jo's Obsession. She is also a very fun, honest, solid person and I like and admire her a lot!!!
