L-O-V-E Continues...and Giveaway Winner

I really enjoyed reading everyone's replies to my last L-O-V-E post!  Thanks for everyone's visits and Blog Hop giveaway entries.

 I had my winner chosen the old-fashioned way (I have never used the online random number chooser things that everyone else knows how to use):  I wrote everyone's names on little slips of paper, and I asked my 10-year old daughter to draw out the winning name.  The person who won 5 of my hand-stamped cards is...Mhairi!  I was excited when I found out which person she was, because she had left such a nice comment on my Happily Ever Stamping blog:

"I love your dinosaur cards. I have a little boy who would adore these. Have you done any Lego cards - that is the other thing he loves?
My little girl loves spiders, so I will keep an eye out for some of them.
Love your blog. Thanks for taking part in the bloghop."


Thanks, Mhairi, and I hope you enjoy the cards!  They'll be in the mail within the week after I hear back from you.

Now that everyone's replies are in, I feel compelled to add an addendum to my post.  I feel so silly for some of the major things in my life that I forgot to mention in my original LOVE list... I was in a such hurry to get the post composed and published that I forgot some of the most important things!  So I'm adding to my own list some of my favorite things that were mentioned by all of my new blogging friends:

*God's perfect love!  I love Him so much and forever, and His love for me means everything to me.  I strive to love others the way He does! 

*Hobbies love.  The things we love to do, or make, or witness, or experience.  My hobbies include performing music (especially singing), attending concerts, taking walks, exercising, reading, rubber stamping/making cards, scrapbooking/making photobooks online...

And some of your favorites that you listed that I thought were great ideas are:  gardening, taking walks, QUILTING (of course!), traveling, sewing, drawing, living on a farm, watching critters out the window, and winning giveaways (ha ha!).

Most of the other things everyone listed I think would fit under my previous categories (Family love, Things love, etc.) but I thought a few more of your ideas merit repeating here.  I wish I could give prizes to all the answers that made me smile and laugh : ), including:

*Star Trek!
*The smell of my husband's neck
*The stranger who might need help
*Laughter
*Being able to homeschool
*America!
*"My grandmother's quilt.  If there was a fire, that's the thing I'd grab first even before the family albums."
*The color of fall where I live.
*Peace & Quiet
*Church
*Smell of vanilla
*Putting puzzles together
*Long, hot bubble baths (yes!)
*Smell of rain, sound of rain

I hope you're all feeling the LOVE like I am!  I hope to "see" you all again soon!
