IF YOU’RE READING THIS YOU ARE ALREADY A WINNER

By

Yes, you're a winner, I'm a winner, everyone is a winner because we are alive, we can read, we can write and we take an interest in each others lives. Congratulation on winning the gift that is this day. Now for the big drawing…

Chosen by a Random Integer Generator
Here are your random numbers: 85

Alas, there can only be one winner of the little quiltet, and that is Teddi Munslow, a middle school teacher and quilter. Since I know she has to go back to work in a couple of weeks and deal with middle schoolers, I think we can all agree that she deserves to win. Teddi teaches art, which probably means that her students are happy to be in her class, but I do know that it also means having to do grades, etc for every student in the school!  Please email me Teddi. 

It's slow going here – too many things to do. I spent all of  yesterday setting up all the art stuff for the sale I will be having soon here in Maryland (STAY TUNED FOR THE DATES). Yes, a sale in Maryland, but yes, also a sale right here on the blog. Many of your wise readers suggested that I sell directly from the blog. I don't see why not. We're not strangers and I don't foresee any problems, so let's give it a go. The only downside I see is that I'll either price the items to high or too low. In some cases I know what I paid, but in other cases, those were 1990s dollars.  So, here's the plan. I'll post my asking price and those of you who think it's too high can offer what they are willing to pay. Those of you who really, really, really want it no matter what, can offer me more.

While I am getting all this ready, feel free to comment on my plan, the physical sale or the virtual sale. And in return, I'll choose another winner on Friday, August 15th - a "real" winner for this lovely fabric /Fragment covered composition book. The quote is so apropos.

I am also a middle school art teacher and love to find others that do this… I will be back. Oh and I love your last art piece, the colors and the quote! Roxanne

  2. I’m so thrilled about the sale in Maryland since I just live across the river in Virginia! Best of luck on your move and sale. Linda

  3. Hi! Jackie here from Miami, Fl
    Not only would I love the composition book…it’s so perfect for me..i live in a tropical climate and the quote is the way I try to live my life everyday….
    but also I would love to know how much???? your asking for the school words stamps….I’m also a rubberstamping addict and an elementary school teacher.
    Good luck with everything!

  4. Love your little book! Wish you were teaching in Portland again soon! Loved your class at A&S last year. Take care and have a good sale.

  6. I am soooooooo excited to have won! I keep pinching myself to see my name posted on your wonderful blog! Hoppe you got my email.Teddi Munslow

  7. I can’t believe you are so organized.! Already unpacked and have a wonderful living space. Will try to make your yard sale if I am in the DC area that week. If not good luck. Love the little composition book. It reminds me of Hawaii. Such wonderful memories from there.

  9. I am indeed glad to be able to be part of your sale without being where you live. Looking forward to it.Hope I can play the game of offering and bidding. I’m not good at bartering. I only go into action if I think I’m being ripped off out there in the big old world. I like fair even though I know it’s a bit of a fairy tale I like to believe in it all the same. All the best with your real sale as they are a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Looking forward to so many things and your blog entries are one of them. Thanks, Deborah

  10. Lesley-
    I’m excited about a chance to see & perhaps to buy some of your treasures! I live in DC but have no car. Could you possibly post directions by Metro? And are you teaching at A&S in Hampton? That would really be something to look forward to! I miss your classes at G Street Fabrics. Will you be back next year?

  13. I’m in Ohio, not too far but too far this year for me to go to Maryland. I’ll keep up with the online sale. Thanks. Jo

  15. I love this book and I love the photo. I’d love to jump right into it right now and get away. I guess what I’m trying to say is I need a vacation and that beach looks like the perfect place to be. LOL

  17. Leslie_ how right you are! In the last couple of weeks a dear friend suffered a terrible loss, another was a suicide attempt, a coworker has cancer & knows he has less than a year more likely only a few months, so’s son can’t leave substances alone, and lastly a dear friend is in great pain as I just got her home while she waits for her Dr………….. So to all of us in general good health with wonderful friends do we know how lucky we are? Thanks for pointing that out.

  19. Ooohh, another Lovely giveaway Lesley! Thank you for the chance to win 🙂 I am planning on visiting your 22 Aug sale as I live in VA….mind you I should be getting ready for a vacation, but no wait, I would not want to miss out on your goody selection 🙂
