I am so excited !
I won a Give-Away.
You may remember my mention of my Blogger friend Rae over at
She was having a Give-Away and all you had to do was comment on her blog post and mention the Give-Away on your own blog.
Now I ask you how simple is that ?
You didn't have to visit ten days in a row, mention her Blog everyday for twenty days, send a link to her Blog to forty other Bloggers,
Eat non-fat cheese for two weeks or clean her house for free for two months!
None of that, just a comment and a HOLLA !
Truthfully I don't enter many Give-Away's simply because there are too many hoops to jump through!
O.K. enough of my babbling, here's a look at my goodies!
First off I opened the card. Yes, I do open the cards first!
It was a very pretty card that a scrap-booking friend of Rae's made.
The beautiful photo on the front is one that her friend took.
I just thought it gorgeous!
The second package that I opened was the Rooster Kitchen towel and pot holder set which I knew went along with the adorable Chicken measuring spoon holder.
Now I will tell you something about me that you may not know.
I want a chicken. Yes a real live chicken. I have always wanted one for a pet since I used to have a neighbor who had chickens that used to wander into my back yard. I would be doing my dishes staring out the window and all of a sudden I would see a chicken or two or three,
walking and pecking in my yard.
Well being a city girl for many years, I found them fascinating to watch. I have wanted a chicken of my own ever since.
This was my main reason for entering Rae's Give-Away.
The adorable chicken measuring spoon holder!
Then as if that wasn't enough, she also threw in a delicious Creme Brule scented candle !
I lit it straight away and it smells fabulous!
So Thank You Rae. I really didn't expect to win, so it made it even more special.
Just so you know, Rae and I don't live very far from each other and she has a great sense of humor. It's what keeps me coming back for more!
Check out her Blog , I think you'll like it !

Comgratulations Di, you sound like my sister, she has always wanted chickens.....lovely gifts, enjoy.
.....:-)Hugs
I'm so glad you like the giveaway things. My hubby grew up on a farm raising chickens. I always thought it would be neat to have some around the yard too, but he says no way, so I just collect the kind you don't have to feed and clean up after. This spoon holder is one of my favorites. Enjoy!
I liked your list of "hoops you didn't have to jump through"--especially the eating cheese for 2 weeks! SO funny.
What a great giveaway to win, Di. Maybe it will hold you over until you get a LIVE one :)
Your sense of humor is only one of the reasons I love coming to your blog, Di!! You bring the biggest smiles to my heart....you always do!!
Congratulations on the gifts. What a wonderful surprise for you. And...I love it that you open the cards first. That sounds like you...a sweet and sentimental lady...one that I am so glad that I met.
P.S. The chicken is in the mail!
:)))
Love,
Jackie
Aren't give-aways fun? I love them and would like to do them but I just never know what to give away.
I hope you get your chicken someday....
I saw you over there at Rae's...Glad you won Di! I once raised chickens until the fox discovered we had them, so we gave all of them to a real farmer on a real farm! I do have lot's of chickens here and there around the house though.
Congratulations! I have just won my second cookbook. The universe is trying to tell me something. :)
