a week of surprises and a bucket winner

You certainly know how to show your support... this filled bucket is definitely a fun gift, but your giveaway comments overwhelmed me with their thoughtfulness. I savored each one... and will return to read them when I need a little pick me up during the months of writing and making that stretch before me. After last week's winter break with my children, I'm counting on the one ahead being full of super productivity. That has been my quiet, but focused intention every time I glance at the calendar. "Secret" making doesn't add up to a lot of time for blogging, though. But guess what? Several lovely folks magically appeared to offer you more wonderful giveaways. They each asked specifically for this week. What do you know! Serendipity or belief in things working out just right? Either way, there are three separate offerings coming up in the next few days... each one is quite diverse from the other, and I know you'll be pleased.

But first, let's congratulate the random winner of the filled burlap bucket:

How lovely of you to offer your beautiful things to one lucky reader. My heart leapt when I saw the spool parcel from your mother - there's something so deliciously tactile and inviting about wooden spools. We only seem to have plastic in the UK now so I would adore to win this! (Your bucket is, of course, the icing on the cake!) Many congratulations on your book, will be watching for publication date!

Caro-please get in touch with your mailing address so that I can send your package right out!

To ALL of you- thank you!
