Thanks to everyone for listening to Pat's show. I adore Pat and it's always so much fun to catch up with her. Wow, i had no idea there were such differing thoughts about tearing vs. cutting fabric! So interesting. Thank you for sharing your different opinions and techniques.

Now to head out for a little walk to catch the last sun rays of the day!

Giveaway Winners

I hope everyone had a lovely and enjoyable weekend. Your thoughts on friendship are inspiring to say the least. I've read each one and have been so touched by all of your caring actions of friendship and love. Thank you so much for sharing some of your most cherished or even most difficult life events with me and everyone on here. My sincerest wishes to you who’ve recently lost someone, lost a job, are battling a serious illness or are helping to comfort someone who is struggling. Try not to lose hope. Try to draw strength from your friendships … and the lasting good we can nurture in them whether our friends are close by, at great distances, or no longer with us. One of the quotes left in your comments expresses this so poignantly:

 “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart I'll always be with you.” ~ A.A. Milne

Winnie the Pooh was such a wise little bear. I'll definitely be keeping that quote close by.

Big congratulations to our randomly selected winners!

Cathy K

and

Kate R

Please e-mail info@katespain.com and we’ll get these prizes on their way to you soon.
