lucky girl = me!

Now, I am generally not a lucky girl

when it comes to winning ANYTHING

but...I think my luck is turning around!

In the last two weeks, I won not ONE BUT TWO

fabulous drawings from two wonderful bloggers:

Erin at Villa Pacis and Kimberly at Mimi Charmante.

If that wasn't enough my awesome friend Lori from Wildflowers

gifted me with an award, which you will read about

on another post.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

WONDERFUL LADIES!

I REALLY DO APPRECIATE

EVERYONE'S KINDNESS!

The first one is Erin from Villa Pacis -

a beautiful weekend tote from My Style Bags

Italy's collegiate chic take on classic L.L. Bean's bags.

I was so excited to receive a package let alone from Italy!

And the icing on an already sweet cake - my name on the bag!

AWESOME! THANKS ERIN - I LOVE IT!

The second fabulous gift arrived the same day as the

first, so I had two big boxes to open - it felt like Christmas!

Kimberly from Mimi Charmante makes these wonderfully

cozy wraps and as I told Kimberly - I can't wait to wear it

as soon as our weather in Los Angeles decides it wants to

cool down a bit - I'm just asking for a bit - not too cold now...haha..!

I LOVE IT, KIMBERLY - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I will be taking these two gifts with me when I go visit my family

for Christmas, they will come in very handy.

Once again, I would like to thank these wonderful ladies for these

fantastic gifts - but the best gift of all is reading their

wonderful blogs,

so if you get a chance - please stop by and say hello to them!
