PAULA'S PRIMITIVES REACHED 100 FOLLOWERS! GUESS WHO WON?

I want to tell Paula CONGRATULATIONS! You reached 100 followers, that's such a blog milestone. I hope just the first of many.
I want to thank Paula and all of the many bloggers who hold giveaways,
your generosity and kindness are such that I have never seen before.
And, I WON! I never win sweepstakes or anything I sign up for in cyber-space and I'm thrilled beyond words that I won. I can't wait to see Paula's candlemat up close, it will be on it's way to Massachusetts just in time for my Thanksgiving family dinner. 
Thank you, everyone who emailed me with the congratulations. I have made so many caring, thoughtful friends since May when I started blogging, it's the best thing I ever did for myself. It's opened up all whole world of artistic beauty for me and ladies who share my passion for all needle arts, painting and primitives and folk art!
I encourage everyone who hasn't yet to join the many blogs that people work so hard on to make available for us to enjoy, and start one of your own, too! 
Warmest Regards,
Susan
