Hi everyone!! Wow, it has been since Tuesday since I posted! What is wrong with me!!?? Well, long story and I won't bore you with the details. But, I will let you know that I have been busy putting together a little gift to give away to someone.
The winner will receive:
A handmade tote bag made with fabric from a vintage tablecloth, red and green gingham and new and vintage rick-rack. The handles are nice and long to criss cross over your body. I didn't put a pocket inside cause I plum forgot to!!
Two cherry print Christmas ornaments - one heart and one stocking
Vintage children's toy blocks that spell out Claus. You could also spell out Sal, Cal or USA if you'd like...
A handmade box made from copies of vintage papers.
And from Duhgall, a tiny felt Scotty Dog ornament that was made by my friend Kathy Soderstrom.
All you need to do is to leave a comment on this post (and this post only) and the drawing will be held next Sunday, November 18th. I will announce the winner sometime that day. Keep in mind that I live in California, so check back to see if you won! Anyone can enter - even my international friends....and yes, if you have never left a comment before, you can enter, too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little Duhgall update:
Duhgall and I would like to say thank you - again - for the continued support and good wishes sent our way. He is feeling so much better and is being weaned off of the Prednisone pills. That is a nasty little pill that sure can take the wind out of your sails. So many of you understand that our pets are an extension of our family and to see them hurt is just painful. Glad that many of you understand and can relate.
Have a wonderful week!

Oh, I'm hopping up and down way over here in FL!!!!!! You bet I want my name in the hat. Your give-away is over the top generous and beautiful, and SCOTTIE!!!
So glad Doogs now gets to be weaned off the bad Pred now! I keep thinking about him.
Well, I just covet your give~away items so all I can say is HOPE I WIN, HOPE I WIN, HOPE I WIN... Okay now I am done with my childish moment. :) Seriously, what an amazing tote you made and whichever of us wins that is one lucky girl. Great job Becky!
Yes, I have been busy. We finally got to Cranberry Cottage again for the second weekend running and in between were preparing for the transformation of the half bath. You would not believe the difference. Upstairs, it was just slight difference but downstairs it is being totally redone. The tiling is done and tomorrow our handyman returns. It is really exciting to see it come together well. But you won't believe Dagi this afternoon. He told the handyman in no uncertain terms to get out. LOL! He had had it after a day's work and came down to let us all know it was time to stop and focus on Dagi. :)
I am so glad that Doogs is so much better! My heart was aching with you as I know how it feels to have our furbabies hurting.
This Friday, I will annouce my give~away for my blog's birthday (CTS) so be sure you do visit me on Friday dear friend.
Hugs~
Heidi

I love your blog, and those pretties are so sweet, I have to add myself to your drawing!! I wanted to comment anyhow, because I finally made it down to Modesto last week and found the shop on McHenry - Remember When - that you have blogged about previously. What a great shop- and it is chockfull of loveliness! But the owner, Kerri, shared something with us - I won't say, because maybe it hasn't been "announced " yet!Looking forward to another visit.
I was beginning to wonder if things were ok with your little dog. So glad to hear he is feeling better.
That giveaway package is to die for...I WANT IT !!! :) I'll just keep my fingers crossed!
Happy day,
bj

Ooooooh! What a wonderful giveaway!
Glad Doogs is doing better.
:)
My son has had to take prednisone at times for his asthma and it really is rough on the body. I'm so glad he is getting weaned off of it and that his little body is strengthening!
And of all the things in the giveaway- I love the little doggy ornament most!
I found you through not quite june cleaver and liked the name of your blog so thought I'd pop in. Sorry your pup's been poorly but glad he seems on the mend. Our best ever dog was a scottie/shnauzer cross and I just love scotties as they always remind me of Chloe.
Your giveaway goodies are gorgeous, esp love the little scottie dog ornie!

Hey Becky, what great items for your giveaway! Please count me in. So happy to hear that Doogs is doing well and being weaned off the Prednisone. Did he want to eat all the time while on it?

Hi Becky,
I love your give away, I read it yesterday but I don't think I posted a comment. Is it cheating to make 2 comments, if I did? If you see 2 feel free to erase one. I am excited to enter the holiday decorating contest. I have to have my whole house done by the 29th so I should have no excuse. I am on page 60 of the Romantic Country Magazine that Jennifer is on the cover.
Have a great week
JOY!
Such a generous and creative gift!!
I would LoVe to be included in this draw and have just the place to show off this gift!!
I am so pleased to hear that your sweet babie is doing much better. I know of that nasty medication..my daughter had to take it years ago.
