{winner} + news

I've been a bad blogger lately. You may have noticed, but if you didn't, that's okay, too. ;)

This week has been busy. I'm worn out.

But I missed my blogging a lot! So now I'm back, and trying

my hardest to fight off bad blogging habits.

I'm sure you'd like to know who the winner of The Lavender Road giveaway is, right?

Well, I plugged in the number at random.org, and the winner is...

Bailey!

from Addicted to Addison.

Bailey, please email me!

If I don't hear from you, I'll have to pick another winner, and I'd really hate to do that.

Thank you for the sweet and heartfelt comments left on my post about Haiti. I did find out that those 2 little girls and their family are all right, but I'm sure they're still having a rough time. I'm not sure if they have food, or a place to live...it's very sad for me. But I am very thankful that they are alive.

I've created a Help for Haiti section in my shop.

I had made some zipper pouches like the one shown above, and I decided to sell them

{just for now, not permanently}, to help raise money.

$10 from each sale {of a zippered pouch} is being donated to Compassion's Disaster Relief for Haiti.

Right now that section is empty.

7 pouches have been sold.

That's $70 for Haiti.

I am so excited!

Right now my sewing machine is giving me fits, {seriously, it's driving me crazy!} but as soon as I can, I'm hoping to list a few more of the zippered pouches.

I'm not selling them for me, I just want to be able to help Haiti.

I've managed to cross some things off of my {101 in 1001} list!

I'll be showing some of that during the week.

Still can't wait to see just how many I can accomplish!
