I won!

I follow many family and friend blogs, and just a few craft/recipe blogs, too.  One of my fave crafty ladies is Vanessa at V & Co, who happens to be a personal friend of one of my sister in laws.  She makes beautiful things, especially quilts.  Wow.  Anyway, she had a giveaway from Terrace Hill, who makes AMAZING gorgeous aprons (seriously, who knew a functional item like an apron could be so cute?) and also DARLING sock monkeys.  So she was giving away one sock monkey and an apron/towel matching set, so I entered of course.  And I won!  I won the apron and towels.  Are they not absolutely gorgeous?????

But Kendra was really bummed that we didn't win the sock monkey because apparently she has wanted one for so very long (really?).  Anyway, I posted on FB that I was so excited to win and happened to mention that my sweet girl wishes I had won the monkey instead but that I was THRILLED to win!  Within minutes I had an email and the very kind, talented lady at Terrace Hill offered to switch my prize to a sock monkey for Kendra!  Kendra just about came unglued and is so excited (of course I took her up on the switch!)

If you are in the market for either item, go to her shop.  Oh my goodness they are lovely, every one!

Thank you so much Vanessa and Terrace Hill!  Merry Christmas to us!

  1. First I read about Gwen and now I read about your winnings and so I'm thinking maybe I should start entering more contests on blogs, etc. I did enter one for a Wii but didn't win. Now that would have been AWESOME!!
    Congrats!! How fun!!
