and the winner is...

whoa! I have a busy last few days full of trying in mad dash to finish a couple products, working, tending my plants, and going to a baby shower. I am glad I have today to put my house back in order ( I am going on a cleaning/organizing spree today) and prep my soil for my garden!! But without further ado....here is the winner of the Grandma's Attic giveaway (drawn at random by my boyfriend) :

angie may said...

my favorite memory of my grandma was when there was a squirrel on the birdfeeder and she insisted it was some type of small dog.

"no, grandma, that's a squirrel.."
"noo, that doesn't look like any squirrel i've ever seen.. he has a long beak like a dog."

Congratulations!! email me with your address Angie and I will ship you kit Monday or Tuesday :) thank you all for your wonderful touching and some funny stories! I enjoyed reading them all.

Now I will share my favorite memory with my Gram :)

Whenever my sister or I were sick and needed to stay home from school my Mom would drop us off over at Gram's house. She lived alone in a small one bedroom apartment in a not so great area of town, but I LOVED going over there. We would eat apples and oranges and cookies, watch soap operas (she would always change the channel if a love scene started up :) do puzzles, color, and play cards. I would fake sick sometimes just so I could go hang out with Gram during the day rather than go to school. I am sure my Mom would have just taken me over there if I said "hey Mom, I wanna go hang out with Gram" but it was much more fun to be sneaky about it!! I miss her and think about her everyday...you were the best Gram!

  7. I made my way over here from Freckled Nest. Your blog is adorable and so is your shop! Your story about your Gram reminds me of my grandmother. Growing up I would always go over and play cards or various games with her. :)
