BURSTING IN TO FLAMES [AND A WINNER]

In everyone's life, at some time,
our inner fire goes out. It is then
burst into flame by an encounter
with another human being. We
should all be thankful for those
people who rekindle the inner spirit.

~Albert Schweitzer

 Thank you to everyone who
entered my giveaway. Thank you
all for inspiring me, for making
me want to be a better person,
for allowing me into your world,
for laughing and crying with me,
for teaching me to make lotion,
to knit cardigans, to expand my
library and my recipes, just to
name a few things, but most
of all thank you for being
my friend.

The winner was #43:

Steph:
Happy happy day! (for mama and daughter!) Such a nice, thoughtful way to celebrate!!!
Hugs!
Look for an email from me shortly
Stephanie.

    Congratulations to Steph!

    Tracey, don't pay any attention to my muddled comment yesterday. I was thinking it was Monday! I guess I do need a bit more sleep... and hopefully this means you are well?

    Blessings, Debbie
