Thank you, thank you, thank you, Phyllis! This is just so perfect and I love it!
Then...
Then...I'm so thrilled to tell you I won another giveway from our Dear Teresa at Grammy Girlfriend! This darling package arrived at my door step. Isn't it just the cutest thing?
Thank you so much Teresa! I am so appreciative that you drew my tiny name. Pop in to see Teresa and I know you'll love your visit with her.
Again, my heart is so full of love and thankfulness to you sweet bloggers who give so much. Please don't forget...
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
The Winner Takes It All
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

ReplyDeleteOh it IS you!! How cute along with all your other new things! There is nothing nicer than crocheted baby things. I just love them and treasure the ones I have gotten from family members. YOU are a sweetie:-)
ReplyDeleteWe're all feeling the love! The cup really made me smile, it IS so you! I wish I had learned to crochet and knit. I'm sure you'll put those books to good use with that darling grandbaby!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
So thoughtful and kind. Be blessed. Cindy
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful things!! And I'm glad you love your crochet patterns!! Of course I included the layette on purpose ~ and I hope you show us the finished items!!
ReplyDeleteI'm crocheting my 3rd afghan already, since just learning to crochet on March 7th!! And they're all Large-sized afghans! I'm a little over 1/3 done with the latest afghan ~ which will be for my son and future daughter-in-law, that we will be giving to them at their Wedding Rehearsal Dinner...coming up in a couple of months!!
We'll be gone on VACATION soon, too!! LOL!! Busy, busy, busy!!
Oh...I've also gotten 1 more room painted and decorated. 3 to go!!!
Congratulations on all your WONDERFUL things!! Hope you are having a great day.♥

ReplyDeleteYou are so spoiled girl!!! That cup...oh my...so perfect! And all the other nice thing...so how do so many people know your address? I would have sent you my love too..I don't see addresses listed. Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia
ReplyDeleteWow! You are going to be waiting at the door for the postman like my Sierra cat does if you keep getting all these goodies. She sits on my front bench and when he comes by he pets her and she gives him kisses. I don't suggest you do that *grin*, but I hope you enjoy all those surprise gifts. I love the cards. I buy cards just because I like them and I have even framed one. Love your blog, Shelia and send hugs. Deb
The cup was prefect for you so thoughtful of her to send it. You really did good on the wins this month. Hope you enjoy then all. God Bless Trish
ReplyDeleteSurprises like that make the day that much more special. Looks like Christmas came early.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to your new grand daughter. May she be a blessing to all she comes in contact with through-out her life.
And as for the Den. YOU mean I have to wait 10 more years... Its been 25 already... Oh Well, I will keep on sweetly asking him to paint it. I will bring him to your blog to show what ours could look like. Maybe that will do the trick.
Gods Blessing to you and your family.
I just bought that Fix it and Forget it cookbook, and have made several things - all good. Your lucky stars are shining on you with all of that giveaway goodness. Sally
ReplyDeleteShelia~~~
ReplyDeleteThe mug is just darling...and it would look great with a handful of flowers in it! And if you make that pretty little crocheted outfit, you have to show us!

ReplyDeleteLook at all the stuff people are sending you. You are sooooooooooo loved. That mug is too perfect for you!
I didn't even know that you knew how to crochet. Or maybe I did... didn't you make that one blankie for Carter? How is the cute little button?

Hi Shelia! My goodness, did you ever hit the jackpot!? :D I am happy for you and I have to agree that mug is so so you! I love it! I also love the way you end a post with a song...that is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Carolyn ~ Cottage Sunshine
How wonderful that she thought of you and took the time to send you that cup. Perfect for you indeed. You are the sweetie. You are always so sweet with you comments. I have been trying to leave you a comment and it was locked up or something. Glad it is finally letting me leave one. I also love your bookcase shelves in the post before this one. You really do have a wonderful eye for displaying your goodies on those shelves. Love that little doggie and that is really neat how you turned one into a lamp!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Kim

Shelia, I had to giggle, that cup does have your name all over it!!
ReplyDeleteAnn
I miss Chloe Dawn. She hasn't posted in quite a while. Maybe you could talk her into to posting something one of these days?
ReplyDeleteSheila(TCW)
Good morning Shelia, Just a Sunday morning visit to wish you a happy day. Did you find the magazine yet? I have to order it on the net. I hate waiting. The biggest store in our town is Walmart. sigh! The nearest big shopping is 90 miles from here. However, we love living here in these lovely mountains. I read your comment on Anne's post. Smile.
ReplyDeleteHappy days to you dear Shelia.
Hugs, Jeanne
Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteOh you got tons of good stuff! The cup was just perfect for you and the little crochet outfit would be so cute on your sweet little granddaughter!
