Well exactly two mins ago i got Sophie to draw a winner for the giveaway, I've seen others arrive at a winner through some computer program but i'm afraid i'm a little comp illiterate for that, now i know its probably really simple but as it is i'm a few days late doing this & am not in the best of form at the mo so the easiest way was for me to write a list of the people that entered, in no particular order, each one numbered, then shout for soph upstairs........." "hey Soph pick a number between one & 24"........"19,mom"......"thanks love". K number 19, run through the list, Helen from http://helenphilipps.blogspot.com/. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy congrats Helen, will post the gifts out to you by the end of the week Xxxx.
Sorry for the moody tone of the post, its just one of those days, lets try cheer this up a bit eh!!!!!!!!!!!! I finished that awful navy & white blanket, plus some nice colorful stiitches to cheer it up a wee bit, here's the Taa Dahhhhhhh.......................

Awww, I hope Downton Abbey cheered you up a bit, it's horrid when you don't feel good. Your blanket looks great with the added colors, well done you. Oh and I love A tales blog, but not seen the other one, so of course am going to have to have a sticky beak hehe.
I'm sure Helen will get a lot of pleasure out of that bag, a little piece of you being shared with another..:)
Take care xx Sandi and a bit hug too.
