Giveaway for followers

Boy did we have some cold weather last night…
it got down to 34 degrees.
I went out to dinner last night with two of my sons/families to this wonderful restaurant in Mukwonago called
The Fork In The Road….
I just have to go there again…everything was wonderful!

Got to see all but my one son Dan/Jamie because they had prior commitments then when I got home I rounded up
all the old sheets and painters cloths to put over our plants – what a job at 8 pm!
It looked like a sheet factory exploded in my yard
and you saw how many gardens I have!

So this morning I’m out there rounding them all up – now they are damp so it’s in the washer with tons of sheets!

Oh my….I digressed didn’t I….I forgot to mention who won!
Guess it’s the devil coming out in me again.
Okay – I guess I’ll tell

CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS….
I just e-mailed you that you won and so
I can get your mailing addresses.

Thank you one and all for being such wonderful followers and for posting such wonderful entertaining posts on your blogs.
Thanks you to my NEW followers…hope to see
you here again now and then.


Blogging has been a wonderful outlet for me.
Being a home based business I don’t get out much
(now is when you say awwwwww!)
what I mean to say is I’m always in the house sewing and don’t socialize as much as I really want to so having this outlet is wonderful…it keeps my brain working in a social sense

Hugs, Karen

  9. What a wonderful giveaway! Congratulations to Justina and Lynn!

    Karen, your mother was a beautiful lady. So sorry you have been without her all these years. But at least your life is full with your husband, kids, and grandkids. Much to be thankful for! (I know you already know that, though). Happy Mother's Day to one special lady! =]

    I have fond memories of my mum too as she passed away when I was 14, but I lost her when I was 10. Sometimes we yearn for them so they are not forgotten. Happy Mother's Day to them and to us. Hugs~Carol

  17. What great things, Congratulations to the winners!

    That does sound like a really big job for ya for the gardens. Hopefully the weather will turn for the better real soon. It's been getting really cold here at night, so no flowers outside yet.

    Sounds like you had a wonderful evening with your boys and family :) I had a really nice day today. It's nice being spoiled :) Hubbies turn is next!

  18. Karen, I'm glad to hear about The Fork in the Road, we drive right past there when visiting my sister in Mukwonago. DH and I would like to try it, but didn't know if it was good. ~Ann

  19. WOW what wonderful Prizes Karen and congrats to the winners. Happy Mothers day to you. I just went through a tough day on May the 7th that is the day I lost my father 13 years ago and Fathers day is always a hard day for me. LOL on the sheets!! It got chilly here also. I just went and got dark brown mulch for my beds and can't wait to get it down. You inspired me to get outside and get busy on my yard, your gardens are so pretty.

  20. Hi Karen,

    I first of all wanted to take a moment to say "Happy Mother's Day" to you. I hope that you enjoyed your special day. If you are anything like me then you probably enjoy spending the day doing stuff for yourself and enjoying it with your children.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and for leaving the comment. I am sure that not having your Mom around has been difficult for you today, but I am sure she is up there looking down and smiling at you. I am sure she sees what a wonderful woman you are and that you have become. It appears from what I can tell in the picture that you look like your Mom too. Hopefully you have some sweet memories of her that helped to bring you comfort today. Thinking of you this evening and sending you hugs!!

    Happy Mother's Day my friend!!

    Hugs,
    Lisa

  21. congrats to the winners!! Lucky dogs!:-D
    No one can ever take the place of our own mothers. I'll bet you are missing yours. I'm grateful to still have my mom with us, but my dad has been gone for 13 yrs and I do miss him a ton. Sometimes I just want to have a visit or ask him a question....

    "The Fork In The Road" sounds is a fun name. Sounds like you had a good time.

    We are still cold here too. I don't have too much outside yet as it's still pretty cold at night.
    HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Karen!
    Enjoy your day.
    Mercy

  27. Home all day sewing? Sounds like heaven to me, sometimes the "social interraction" at work makes me want to just hear the whir of a sewing machine and the swish of a paintbrush all day, wanna do wife/life swap for a week or so?
    Have a great day!
