i’m a winner after all!

i spent so much time being shocked and surprised and ecstatic this afternoon that i have been ready to go to bed for the last hour or two. but here is a second wind so i can tell you about the awesome that came my way today!

from Needlework Unlimited

i got a phone call from needlework unlimited around noon, telling me that i was their in-store grand prize winner for completing the entire yarn shop hop last weekend! what-the-what! it was so long ago that i had nearly forgotten it ever happened.
