My Gosh! I Won a Giveaway and a Poetry Contest

I just found out that I won a wonderful July 4th Giveaway that was at Joanne's blog Splitting Stiches. Here is the announcement of my winning, and you can see what I won here.
Thank you so much Joanne! I can't tell you how much this means to me, being a Philly girl from the U.S.A and not being able to get all those wonderful patriotic items here in Ireland. Of course, we also do not celebrate July 4th here, so this is doubly nice for me. I will cherish everything, and I can't tell you how happy I was when I found out that I won tonight.

Thanks again, and please do visit Joanne's blog, as I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and reading all her posts each and every day!

PS: I have to tell you that I found out about Joanne's giveaway at almost 1 A.M. in the morning. I was really tired, and ready to go to bed. Then suddenly, Joe told me that I had won the giveaway, and I couldn't believe it. He was reading the comments of the posts that I had and saw that I had won. I was thrilled!

Big News!!!!.......I am also adding that this morning, I got an email from Sarah Shriver from Electric Quilt. A month ago, I entered a haiku contest, as I love to write poetry. I really didn't think about it, as there were tons of entries. Well, it appears that I won, and I get to choose between Quiltmaker Volumes 1-6. I decided to take Volume 6 as it is the latest program, and it has hundreds of continuous quilting designs that I can use in my quilts. I was told that they really loved my haikus....What an honor!
I think that Robyn was right when she said that I should enter the lottery. This has been a very lucky time for me.
