To My Contest Winners

Life has gotten in the way of taking care of my faithful readers, and I apologize. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU!!! I already have your thread and am trying to coordinate with my sister so she can make your Common Thread bracelets.

I promise that they will be on their way to you soon . . . even to those of you halfway around the world. I promise.

We have winners!

Wow! That was fast - and fun! Guess we'll need to have another contest again soon. :) Our winners are:

Katie

Mrs. Gamgee

Wise Guy

Arian

I know I said three, but I'm feeling extra-generous today. You all will receive emails from me today, so be on the lookout! Be sure to stop by their blogs to tell them congratulations!

Without hesitating, my sister said she would be "honored" to make the bracelets. In the years between having my beautiful nieces, she suffered multiple m/cs - including a molar pg resulting in MTX shots and chemo - so she has been there with all of us.

Thanks for playing everyone!

Show & Tell: GONE. And a CONTEST!

I just noticed that my "Common Thread" is gone. It must have broken from my wrist sometime last night. I've worn it continuously (24/7) with pride since May of last year. And now it's gone. :( I'm having an emotional day missing my Mary, and this almost sent me over the edge.

So for today's Show & Tell, I bring you a photo of when I wore two threads. Yes, that is my veiny right hand. It has seen MANY an IV needle in the past couple of years, but I digress . . . My first Common Thread - the skinny, faded one - eventually broke months ago, but my newer one was thicker and stronger. It was tied on my wrist and never came off.

I'd love for this to be a "sign", but I doubt it would be that exciting. I have to replace it because I feel nekkid without it. Luckily I have a bunch of thread left to make a new one. Well . . . to have my sister make me a new one.

In fact, I have enough thread that the first three people to comment with their email addresses will get some thread from me for their OWN Common Thread!! Maybe I can bribe con beat down ask my sister to make you a simple one just like mine if you like.

Oooo - my first contest!! I feel so blogalicious. I'm already feeling a little bit better now!
