Announcing............THE WINNER!

And the winner is....................Ruralrose! Congratulations and please e-mail me your address so I can get your giant box of beads in the mail to you ASAP! I'll be sending them via Fed Ex so I need an actual street address and not a P.O. Box.

But there's more good news. After my son drew the winning name from the bag, I was thinking about how many people came to enter and leave links and I felt like one winner just wasn't enough so I've come up with 2nd and 3rd place prizes.

Here's how that is going to work. I've recently become a Rings 'N Things blog partner which means every month they send me a stash of stuff to play with, design from and hopefully, blog about. So, the 2nd place winner will get part of the June stash and the 3rd place winner will get part of the July stash.

2nd place winner is..........................................Marbella Designs! As above, please e-mail me your address.

3rd place winner is...................Barbara/mythmaker! Will need your address, too.

Thank you so much, everyone, for playing! This was such an awesome success that I may do it again in the future - although probly with less beads now that I've done such a big cleanout! For those who became followers or plan to check back occasionally, I'll do my best to be entertaining and post lots of beady eye candy.

As soon as I get over this darned cold! I feel awful! The only bright spot is that the kidlet hasn't caught it yet, but I'm sure that's only a matter of time. We have declared a "PJ Day" with him downstairs playing with his Legos and making paper airplanes and me upstairs (in quarantine) catching up on my Tivo and trying to rest.

Of course, last time I tried this, he snuck a bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup out of the frig, drank most of it and used the rest to decorate the kitchen so...........we'll see how this goes. I may have good tidbits for the blog later this week LOL!

Have a great rest of the weekend and congratulations to the winners!
