Anniversaries & A Giveaway!

First, I would like to publicly remember all the innocent victims of 9/11 and those who died in these last nine years following these attacks.  I remember so clearly getting a phone call from my husband, who was at the airport waiting to catch a flight, telling me to turn on the TV - I did, just in time to see plane number 2 hit the second tower.  The newscasters were not aware that that had happened and just kept speculating about the first plane, which led me to believe that it was some strange computer generated reenactment, although now both towers were burning.  I guess it was just beyond  my mind to comprehend what was happening... I am still greatly saddened by this senseless attack, and I always want to remember.....

On a happier note, my one year blogaversary slipped by, and I want to thank all you who pop in and read my blog.  Thank you especially to you who leave comments, they always make my day!  So, to celebrate, I am having a little giveaway.

I am including 4 pieces of the almost 40ct French Gander linen - 2 in neutral colors and one in Christmas  Tree green  and one in a darker red.  The patterns inlcuded are  Prairie Schooler Garden Alphabet, The Drawn Thread A House in the Country, & Sheepish Designs Wabbit's Garden.  Of course, a giveaway from Germany would not be complete without some chocolate.  I am just hoping things have cooled down enough to send them without a meltdown.  To enter, please leave a comment.  You do not have to be a follower, I just need your e-mail to get ahold of you.  I will draw a name on Sept. 15.  Thanks again for a lovely first year of blogging.
