Sharing Blog Hop Party Goodies and bits and pieces

blog, http://www.quiltinggallery.com/

I am a happy camper for winning these goodies and thank the bloggers who sent them to me. I joined bacause I was curious but

never in my wildest imanigation  about being a winner. 

On the home front 2012 is off to a good start. Find time to sew a little bit but spend the bulk of time picking up the pieces

from the restoration work I had done in late Nov. and Dec. new roof, carport ceilings,  and inside ceilings. Most of the damage was from the floods we had in early spring. Overall pleased with the work done and give  credit to my dear brother who

orchestrated all of this.

Classes at the U of M began  on Tuesday and we have been very busy at the bookstore where I am working during rush. The days go by fast and I  am amazed at the price of books today, the average price per semester being $700. But a nice incentive is the buy back option at the 

end of the semester where the student can sell the books back to the store.  This is a great incentive and oh how I wish this was an

option back in my day .

Peace, love, and art,

Blog Hop Party Winners

The  Blog Hop Party did just what it said it was going to do and more. Michelle over at Quilting Gallery  did a phenomental job of pulling this party all together. She was the one who kicked off the party that led to the involvement of quilters from all over the world. Thanks again Michelle.

Everything came together beautifully. This was my first blog hop and in addition to 135 comments  posted and 40 new followers I loved seeing people jumping at the chance to get together and have fun. Over 250 bloggers joined in the fun  to make the party a success.

Of the bloggers participating I was pleasantly surprised to win four prizes from quilters. (will post my gifts when I receive them). Although I did not visit all the blogs I was able to visit about half of them.
I love to see people happy, embracing and getting a little something especially when it's worthwhile to the quilt community.

My giveaway journal winners (Crooked Gulley Art Quilts and Strandkorbortraum have been contacted for their address so that I can send the journals to them. Had wished I could get them off in time for the Christmas holiday. I'm waiting for a reply.  To join in the fun next year you will need to join Quilting Gallerys website and I promise you will enjoy this  as much as I did.

Peace, love, and art,
Angela
