And the winner is....

I received numerous entries and I thank each and every one of my readers who entered. Most entered through email. I encourage each of you who entered to also sign up to become a follower.

Many blogs use something called a random generator, but I must have a simple mind because I did it the old fashioned way. I wrote each entry down on a sticky note and folded them up. Then I shook them up in a basket and we drew the winner out. And the winner is......

Congratulations Amy. I'll email you regarding shipping information. Thanks again to everyone who entered!

Words

Thankful thought of the day - Today I am thankful for words.

Words are a big part of our lives. They can calm, they can encourage and they can heal. They can hurt, they can harm and they can destroy. Choose your words carefully. Be kind, be polite, be courteous.

Words are also becoming a very popular decoration around the home. There are plaques and figurines that incorporated words. There are phrases that can be hung on walls or sat on shelves. You can purchase block letters or flat cut outs in wood to decorate yourself. You can make your own words or simply use one letter as a decoration. This is going to be one of my new decor items for the holidays. I scoured the internet and found some that I love that will provide me with ideas to decorate. I see a trip to Hobby Lobby and A.C. Moore in my future!!
