Celebration of life...and the winner!

Dear sweet friends,

Please forgive my unexpected delay in announcing the Lisa Leonard Designs winner,
Congratulations to
Mandi @ finding home!!!!
(actually DOUBLE congratulations- Mandi is also going to be a new mommy!)

My beloved uncle passed away this weekend after a long, difficult battle with M.S..
I am now back home (in Texas) where I will remain this week for my uncle's
"Celebration of life"!

I look forward to sharing a few happy things with you next week!

Lots of love and many Blessings,
Jill
