Lucky Day!

I consider myself a lucky person because I have all the things I need in life but when it comes to contests I don't usually win. Last week was an exception. I'd been drooling over Milicent the Vampiress over at Meridian Ariel's giveaway when low and behold I got an e-mail telling me that I won her. I can't tell you how excited and giddy I was!!!! Yes, I even did a dance in my kitchen when I read Apryl's e-mail. Milicent is coming to live at my house!!! I already have a spot picked out for her to sit when she comes. Of course I'm a little worried that she may get lonely but if that happens Apryl has more monster's in her Etsy shop.

As if winning Milicent wasn't enough, the same day I got a surprise package in the mail from Betty. I had answered some questions about our wonderful swap mama Val over at the Hot Mamas Apron Swap. I didn't know I was one of the winners until the package showed up. Betty sent some fat quarters, needles, thread, a thimble, warm and natural batting and some cute quilter's magnets. Thanks Betty this was a great surprise. I already have a project in mind for the fabrics but I have a few other things to finish up first.
Talk about a lucky day! I haven't won a blog giveaway in two and a half years, since I won Barb's wonder wallet and tissue cover(which are still in my purse.) Then in one day I won two giveaways, I can hardly believe it. Maybe it's time I share some of the luck!

awsome win! glad your luck has turned around and you won my swap! I posted Millicient off on monday so hopefully she will be with you next week. (I typed her story up on a card with the old typewriter.. there may be a few mistakes but i rather like it that way... I meant to put some other bits in the parcel but H was being a nightmare that day and had invited the annoying kids from the close into the house.. a pair of siblings that are ill mannered and fight like cats and dogs.. no so much peaceful crafting for me!
