A Week of Beauty and the Giveaway Winner!


Hello, my friends!  I assigned everyone who entered the giveaway a number, then I used Random Number Generator to select a winner of the Novica gift certificate, and I'm pleased to announce that the lucky person is Patti!  I happen to know that Patti is a very talented artisan herself, so it's wonderful to share this prize with her.

Thanks to everyone who entered, and to everyone who visits The Magpie's Fancy.  I love the community of people I've met here over the past two years.

The collage above is of various shots from my week.  That's my little sunporch, and down in the right corner is the creamy lemon meringue pie I made for Easter.  I'll be posting the recipe for it on HubPages this weekend, and I'll let you know when it's up.

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.  Like you, my heart and thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the horrible tornadoes this week.  Each day lately seems to be a reminder to live life to its fullest and cherish one another.  xo g

  8. You are so right...we have been through those areas so many times that I can't help but think how random it can be when one of those storms hits. So very sad and yet some people are so blessed to be alive.

    Congrats to your winner!
