Is this your lucky day?

It was truly wonderful to have so many of you enter your name in my First Anniversary Giveaway. This has been an amazing year. I have enjoyed meeting you all, receiving your generous comments, reading your interesting blogs, and just getting to know you. Wish everyone could be the prize winner, but this time around it goes to..........................
Computer problems earlier today had me worried...........would I actually be able to post the winner's name. While cutting and folding the slips of paper with your many names, I moaned and groaned to dh about the Internet, the desktop, my laptop, the new 4 in 1 printer which is driving us nuts, technology in general................how chilly it is today, how I wanted him to go to the store because I want to make black beans and rice, how I fancied whole wheat pita with freshly made hummus, and a juicy spinach pie from a our local Lebanese bakery/restaurant etc. etc.

But before he left, I made sure he picked a winner. He mixed the names about in my hat for what seemed like an eternity, then dug down to the bottom and pulled out Manuela's slip!

Well everything is working again and I'm able to post the news..............congratulations Manuela. If you haven't visited Manuela at The Feathered Nest you are missing out on knowing this decorating diva and busy fun blogger, so stop by soon.

Manuela, I'll be in touch by e-mail to get your mailing address then your box of goodies will soon be on the way to Georgia.

Thanks again everyone, enjoy your week........and please keep in touch.
