(Translation: I was just thinking last week that I should take a Montessori course and then I read your blog post. It would make me happy if your daughter drew my name.)


I hope that you enjoy Karen's course as much as I have! I will e-mail you Karen's contact information as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone who entered! And for those of you who didn't win, I would still encourage you to look into Karen's course. She has several different payment plans, among others to pay $150 up front for the entire course. You won't find a deal like that anywhere else! Click here for more information.

A Pleasant Surprise

Last week my daughter had surgery to have polyps in her nose removed and tubes put in her ears.  The surgery went well, but she had a rough time afterwards from the effects of the anesthesia and pain from the surgery itself. Her spirits brightened later that day when my husband handed me a package postmarked from Canada and I told her what it was: the felt pancake set that we won through a giveaway at Petals and Sunshine earlier this year. Good timing, Stephanie!

Isn't it adorable? Two handmade felt pancakes with bananas,
kiwis, blueberries, a strawberry, a pat of butter and some syrup.

Forgetting about how bad she felt, my daughter immediately
put on a party dress and set up a table for the dollies.

Blogging is so much fun - you make new friends and get neat surprises. Thanks, Stephanie, for making a tough day for my daughter more fun!

I'm a giveaway winner! 

I'm fairly new to the world of blogging and haven't participated in very many giveaways, but when I saw the beautiful felted kitchen toys (below) from Stephanie at Petals and Sunshine, I just couldn't resist. : )
