Giveaway Winners!

 

    Thank you all so much for your comments! It means so much to have blogging as a way of connecting with people I would never had otherwise had the pleasure of meeting. Nor would I have been able to know the many talents you all possess. Without further ado...

                                             yes, I did this the "old fashioned" way :):)

  the winners are:

     So there is no confusion here are the comments also:
