How Do You Say Thank You?

Cindy at Whimsical Musings has made something special for me!  yes, for me! and just for being me!

You can read all about it here

It is so kind of her to make this special gift just for me.

I have received such nice things from fellow bloggers, like Bill at Affordable Accoutrements who sent me these pretty table napkins and napkin rings from April Cornell, have you seen her collections? they are Beautiful! she has the most amazing collection of table linens.

 And Samantha from Mommy's Timeout who sent me this pretty card.  She made my day when I received this in the mail the other day:

I liked it so much that I made copies of the front and turned them into seating name tags, they go perfectly with my napkins:

Saying thank you is just not enough to express how I feel.  I feel like the only way I can really say thank you is by doing the same for someone else.  Actions speak louder than words sometimes, and this would be one of those times.

I decided to do the same as Cindy did, by giving something away to my readers, as a way of showing my gratitude for her thoughtfulness.  Since I could not make 84 gifts, it would be insane for me to try, I decided to put all 84 of you in a paper bag and have my seven year old pull out a name.

As he pulled out a name, his "Ta-da" gave way to a big applause from my little family.......

Congratulations Sandie, of Chatty Crone.....YOU WON!!!

Please email me your address so I can send you your special gift.
