Look What I Won!!

A few weeks ago, I entered a wonderful giveaway offered by my friend Patti over at Pandora's Box. I was thrilled when I found I was her lucky winner! I got my prize in the mail on Saturday and here she is:



A rice sack pillow that Patti made! Isn't it gorgeous?? Patti's sewing skills are just amazing! I am really enjoying my new pillow and I think it looks great on my sad, worn out couch with my other pillows:



Thank you so much, Patti! I am loving my new pillow!!

In other news, the weatherman is calling for 2-4 inches of snow for us here in Virginia tonight. I am thankful that I don't have to get out and drive in that mess! Why is this, you ask? Well, I am currently unemployed, AGAIN!! The job at the lawyer's office was just not my cup of tea. I felt like a fish out of water there and I knew pretty quickly that it wasn't going to work out. On a good note, Scott was hired by a company much closer to our home which offered him a lot more money so we will be o.k. financially until I can find something else. I tell ya, this year has just been a mess for us and I will be so glad to put it behind us and start fresh in 2012. Now you know part of the reason why I don't have very much Christmas spirit this year. But, I have been trying to do a few small things around the house to make the season bright and I hope to share one of those projects with you tomorrow.

Until next time. . .

  5. What a cute pillow! You must have been tickled pink to open that up!

    Be like me and enjoy the snow from INSIDE the house...and appreciate the silver lining that allows you stay home and not drive in it.

    I think that 2012 is absolutely going to be a great year for you!

    Hugs,
    Pam

  7. Love the pillow and congrats on your hubby's new job! With the extra money maybe you won't feel so rushed to find your next job and can hold out for something you'll really enjoy:) I've about given up looking, I only have work experience in the animal care field and can't do it because of my back issues *sigh*
