Nancy Waldron

Winner of the Giveaway!

My granddaughter, Isabella, is here visiting and she drew the winning name.  If you will send me you mailing address, Nancy, I'll put the teacup and note cards in the mail to you.

Thank you to everyone who entered.  The Kind Heart series has a matching teapot which will be offered as a giveaway at another time.

Here's to beginning another year of blogging!

The Giveaway Winner Is...

Sandy Clough's company motto was "Hospitality Opens Hearts," and the first person to respond with the answer was, drum roll please...

Carla Shiver

Congratulations, Carla!  If you'll send me your mailing address I'll get your giveaway prize mailed to you.

Thanks to everyone who took a few moments to search for the correct answer, and respond. I know it took a little more effort than just leaving your name, but I wanted to do something different, and I knew the search box on my blog would lead you to the answer in a short amount of time.

Special thanks to all of you for visiting my blog.  Of all the posts I've written pertaining to tea, I wanted to spotlight this motto, because hospitality opens hearts, and tea is the universal gesture of hospitality.  The two go hand-in-hand.

Now onward and upward to the next 500 posts!  ;-)

A New Month and a Giveaway Winner!

Happy February!
