♥ A Winner and a Birthday ♥

Well today, there’s two reasons to celebrate……I have a winner for my fall giveaway AND it’s my birthday.

But since I’m sure you want to find out who won this, I won’t make you wait through a bunch of pictures to find out!

I decided that we’d do this the old-fashioned way, by giving each person that entered the correct amount of entries and mixing them all up in a bowl.   There were nearly 150 entries when they were all tabulated and everyone given the correct amount of entries! 

It’s more fun for my kids this way too because they get to draw out the winner!

Are you ready? :) Here we go!

The winner is………

Maple Lane!  :) 

That's Mildred from Maple Lane!  How about that?  She's such a sweet lady that I just "met" recently through one of my Sunporch Chats!  Congratulations! If you’ll email me your address to countrygirlathome@att.net, I’ll get this in the mail to you this week!

Now on to the birthday. Today I celebrate my 49th birthday. I can’t believe I’m a year away from the big 5.0. Since I don’t really like the alternative to not getting older, I’m embracing it. Really, I’m thankful to be given the gift of another birthday and I thank the Lord for all the blessings He’s given me including my family and health!

Just for fun, I thought I’d share some childhood photos.

Thank you so much for entering the giveaway and for stopping by today and taking a trip down memory lane with me!  :)


Be sure and join Annie and me tomorrow on the sunporch for a chat!  Oh boy, you're in for a blessing and a treat (I'm serving coffee and cheesecake).  :)  See you there!
