Winners and South Carolina

 Well, first thing is first.... how was your Memorial Day weekend? Ours at Casa Thompson was busy and relaxing at the same time which is odd, i know but children always add such a wonderful mix of surprise and chaos!

I promised I'd post some images from our recent trip to Isle of Palm in South Carolina but before I do, I guess I should spill about our SMS winner!!

I've decided that I'm always going to do my giveaways like this one- with jokes and fun things to read because I'm sure that most of you know all blog writers LOVE comments and they read as many as they can! It would honestly take me days and days to read 3 or 4 hundred like some blogs had. Crazy! Regardless, my husband loved SO many of your jokes but the one that had him on the floor was one by Wemailaddress2. I am not going to repost it because it's not the cleanest joke on the planet but it's funny!

Congratulations to you and she's been confirmed so there will be no redrawing! As a special treat for all of you though, you can have 20% off anything I sew for children so hop over to my facebook and tell me what you'd like me to sew up for you, ok?

Isle of Palm... some pretty little images of what our 5 day stay and the stunning Isle left us with...

 Have a fantastic week!!

Teachers!

Wow! I think my rear end is flat after spending the last two days looking at EACH and EVERY blog entered on the Sew Mama Sew giveaway. I have to. I didn't enter every contest, but I just wanted to say that I had taken the time to see what everyone had put forth in their efforts and I am BLOWN AWAY! It's so amazing to see such a wonderful world-wide collection of amazingly talented people. Bless you all. If you are looking for my giveaway- which is piling up in the corner of my sewing room right now, please click HERE. You have one more day!! I extended it to allow non-registered users to post... so GO ENTER!

I have to tell you that keeping the prize on the down-low means that I get to read every single comment without going cross eyed and we are both enjoying your jokes very much <3

In other news... look here at the new patterns I tried out! I bought these from Keyka Lou who is a very talented and wonderful sort, and I really LOVE how easy her patterns are to use. I bought them specifically for Teacher gifts! I let my daughter help me over-stitch the top flap of the Heather Bailey clutch and she did a great job didn't she? I had to go over it by hand to tie down some loops and even it out a bit but she did a great job. <3

Up next: I have a request in for an e-reader cover!

Thanks for stopping by and good luck in all the draws you've entered!!
