200th Post Giveaway Winner(s)!!

Thank you, everyone, for participating in the celebration of my 200th Post. We had a total of 44 entries and I wish I could send each of you a prize.

But the actual winner is:

Edwina!!!


She said:

"My ultimate summer vacation would be to have one of those super-duper fancy tour buses (like the country music stars have) and travel all over the US to see all of the magnificent things God has given us - Yellowstone, Rockies, etc. I would take this trip the latter part of the summer so that I would end up in New England in the fall when the leaves change colors. "

Edwina won a handmade crocheted shawl made with Lion Brand Homespun yarn. I'm not going to say what color I decided to send. I want it to be a surprise when she opens her package.


She's also getting a copy of "The Bridegrooms" by Allison Pittman.


I stated in the giveaway post that if I got 10 new followers, I would draw an addition person to win a second book. I am so excited to tell you that I got 9 new followers. I know I said 10 was the magic number, but I don't care! I drew a second name anyway!


The second winner is:

Lisa!!!

She said:

"My dream summer vacation would be a Cruise to Hawaii with my family and I would love to go scuba diving with the kids! "

Lisa will be receiving "A Stitch in Time" by Bateman, Cox, Hake & McDonough.

I'll be sending each of the winners an email to get their mailing information.

Again,

200th Post Giveaway!!!

This is officially my 200th post. And, no, the giveaway is not $200! (the picture is just reprentative of the # 200, duh.)

So, here's the deal. My 200th Post Giveaway will include the following:

A hand-crocheted shawl made from Lion Brand Homespun yarn. Color to be decided at a later date. The below is in "Windsor". If you've never felt the Homespun yarn, it is so soft and comfy and just plain snuggly.

But, wait. There's more. You will also win "The Bridegrooms" by Allison Pittman.



Book Description:

It Only Takes an Instant for Love to Strike

Tragedy hits the Allenhouse family on a hot summer night in Ohio when a mother of four vanishes. Eight-year-old Vada virtually grows up overnight and raises her three younger sisters while her father loses himself in his medical practice in the basement of their home.

Now, Vada is a grown woman, still making her home with her father and sisters. Her days are spent serving as an errand girl for Cleveland's fledgling amateur orchestra; her evenings with Garrison Walker, her devoted, if passionless, beau.

Dizzying change occurs the day the Brooklyn Bridegrooms come to town to play the Cleveland Spiders and a line drive wallops the head of a spectator. The fan is whisked to the Allenhouse parlor, and questions swirl about the anonymous, unconscious man.

Suddenly, the subdued house is filled with visitors, from a flirtatious, would-be sports writer to the Bridegrooms handsome star hitter to the guilt-ridden ballplayer who should have caught the stray shot. The medical case brings Dr. Allenhouse a frustration and helplessness he hasn't felt since his wife's disappearance. Vada's sisters are giddy at the bevy of possible suitors. And Vada's life is awakened amid the super-charged atmosphere of romantic opportunity.
