And the Winners Are........

I am sure you are all curious as to who the winners are for First Anniversary Giveaway.  Well rest assured that by the end of this post all will be revealed.  First let me apologize for the tardiness in getting the info to you.  I know I promised that they would be announced on Monday, July 19th.  However, last week I had the wonderful pleasure of having my grandkids down with me for the week.  Needless to say I did not get much done in the way of blog writing. 

I did manage to post a short note in regards to the drawing.  Also I had my Monday and Thursday posts, yet they are done ahead of time and were already scheduled.  I have to say that the break was enjoyed tremendously.  I am sure that much of it had to do with the fact that I had two of my favorite little people with me to fill the hours with fun and laughter.  The week definately went by much too fast.  Although there were times that I was reminded of the many years that have passed for me.  I word it in that manner because I refuse to admit that I am getting old.

I did have helpers in the drawing of the names of the winners.  Two pairs of little hands were eager to help me.  They loved the suspense of it all.  My grandson helped me to fold each name carefully and place them in a big stainless mixing bowl.  My granddaughter of course read the names as they were folded and some she truly fell in love with.  If it had been up to her, I think everyone would have been drawn.  Yet alas their were to be three goodie boxes given to three lucky winners.  So lets get on with unveiling who the three lucky ones are.

The first name drawn and winner of the goodie box representing Mind is Onreeone over at "One Day at A Time" .  I popped over to her blog and read her latest post and knew right then that just as I has thought this goodie box would go to exactly who was needing it most.  So Onreeone, send me a quick email and give me all your mailing info so I can ship your prize your way...

The second name drawn and winner of the goodie box representing Body is Audrey over at "The Magic, Miracles, and Joy of an Artist" A box full of my favorite edible goodies awaits you, along with a few other surprises.  Send me a quick email with all your mailing info and I will get it right out to you.

The third name drawn and winner of the goodie box representing Soul is Ponderosa Pagan.  Ok I know the name says Ponderosa Pine, but just chalk it up to the seniality that is ever so slowing creeping its way into my mind, or better still the seniality that is already there.... I love how it seemed so fitting that this goodie box went to her.  As soon as I receive your mailing info, I will get your gift to you.

Now since I can not say no to my grandkids, I have three other names that they drew.  Lets just say these are honorable mention names and will receive a surprise in the mail.  They are as follows: 

Number One:  Marie over at Art of My Heart

Number Two:  Avie at Hearthwitch Cottage

Number Three:  Alaska Wolf Song at Heartsong 

Of course I will need you all to send me your mailing info so that I will know where to send it.  Lastly let me say that I truly do wish that I could send a little surprise to all of you as it has been all of you and more who has made this last year much of what it has been for me.  I look forward to the next coming year and getting to know many of you even more and also meeting even more new friends.  This concludes our announcement ceremony.  I hope to return to my regular schedule of posting this week and definately no later than next week.... Love all of you... blessings.
