Another special gift to show you {and the winner} . . .


I'll never get to France.  

Frankly, I'm not sure I want to visit France.  Oh, if I was a gazillionairess it would be on my bucket list but there are so many places in the United States that I would like to see first.

But that doesn't mean that I don't love all things French!  I am so glad that there are blogs out there that supply me with all of the Frenchy goodness that I crave.

 Rhonda from A Little Bit French is usually where I go to dream of France.  

And I was lucky enough (not lucky enough to be a gazillionairess but . . .) to win her monthly giveaway!  Maybe some of the pieces she used to create these beauties actually came from France!  At least that is what I tell myself!

She made a pincushion out of a spoon!  Can you imagine the creative mind that thought that up?


And little stamped pillows!


I'm feeling the amour!  The jen e sais quai!  I'm transported to France!


I found the doorknob and it isn't from France (or is it?  hmmmm . . .).

The giveaway package is dressed and ready to go to the winner of my birthday giveaway!  Where shall I send it?  Who will the random generator choose?  (Why can't I get a picture of the random generator?)


#18!!!!!!
Joanna of Fiddlesnips!

You are going to celebrate my birthday month with me!

If I get your address before Monday morning, I'll get the package in the mail.  If not, you'll have to wait a little longer until I get back from my VACATION!  Send it to me ASAP, okay?

(Sorry about the difficulties commenting.  I hear that blogger wasn't being cooperative.  But if I heard from you telling me your problems, I added your name anyway.)

Yes, this little Nebraska girl is traveling out of the country.  To sun-filled (I hope!) Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!  Scary - YES!  Excited - YES!  Have to white-knuckle it on the plane -  DEFINITELY YES!  

Thanks to all of my friends who wished me a happy birthday and welcome to the new followers!  Sometimes we have fun here so the more the merrier!

See you on the flip side!

I never ever thought I'd make it to France but I did. It's the angels working their magic, I tell ya. Everything has to align up for it to happen.
It took a gazillion years - in my eyes - but never give up wishing, I say.

I love this post, your images are dreamy.
congrats to the winner and thank you for bit on me..tee hee.

it all looks French to me, Connie. What a dream it was to go to France this summer. Like you, I never thought I would go there. Maybe someday!!!
Hugs,

P.S. Keep us in your prayers, if you would. Jud is not doing well.
