Congratulations to the Winner!

The "Grow Your Own Blog Party" hosted by Vicki at "2 Bags Full" has been amazing!

I have about four times more followers on my blog than when it started.

I've had so many wonderful comments that it's been hard to keep up with writing back to each one.

I've visited and started following lots of fun and inspiring blogs from the party. 

And, best of all, I'm making new and wonderful friends from around the world.

Thank you to each and every person who visited, started following my blog, and left comments.

I appreciate every visit, every follower and every sweet comment.

This has been so much fun!

Part of the fun is a give-away!  Each comment on my January blog posts and each and every follower received an entry into the contest.  I used a random number generator to pick the lucky winner.

And, the winner is...

Sandra from "Curlerchick 2.0"

Congratulations, Sandra!  You won from your comment on my "Blog Party Prize" post.

You can choose a prize from my that post.  Your prize will be made especially for you.

I'll contact you through email to see what you select and find out what colors you like.

The party isn't over just yet!  Vicki said she'll keep the party up all year long.  So, you still have plenty of time to visit the many wonderful blogs participating.  She has a link to each and every one of the almost 400 blogs that signed up.  And, I'm still planning another give-away for February!  So, starting today, February first, through the end of the month, each and every comment will go into the drawing.  I will announce a winner on March first.  Good luck!  I look forward to all your visits and comments.

Have a wonderful weekend!
