Sweet Ladies,

First off thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone of you who took the time out to make our party so successful. You were all so kind!!!!! I wish I could give every one of you something!

If you have followed my blog or been a part of one of the drawings you know that it is one of the most delightful things for me to do! This drawing was no different. When Gooseberry Patch contacted me I was so excited, honored and wanted to share something fun in the celebration! Prairie Flower made new friends and for that I am so grateful. Your kind words were so nice. The fact that at the same time we started the party, soon after, I lost my Dad. Hearing from all of you brought sunshine to my day, just what I needed. You were all such sweethearts!!! The prayers for our family got us through a very difficult time. I am so grateful to my God who shined Himself on our family, by using all you precious ladies. Thank you so much. Words are just not expressing what I am trying to say. If you were here in front of me, (now that would be wonderful), I would hug you!

I also had fun going over to Gooseberry Patch's Blog and reading the comments that you all left there. Hope you enjoyed them also. Gooseberry is trying to get 1OO,OOO fans on Facebook. Check it out!

A big thank you to Gooseberry Patch also for blessing me so. They are such a wonderful company and if you have never seen their online catalog it is a must! All their cookbooks are fantastic! I have a lot of them. Smile!

Well, I am sure you are all waiting to see who won the Prairie Flower Market Bag. Sooooo..... it was,

Prairie Flower Farm and Gooseberry Patch Drawing

Prairie Flower Farm Market Bag Drawing

Sweet Ladies,

I am trying to stay calm, because I have been keeping a secret and now I can’t wait to tell you what it is!!!! Jen with the Creative Team from Gooseberry Patch Blog contacted me the other day, asking if I would like to be on their Featured Fridays. I had to reread the email, because I could not believe what I was reading. Now when the Lord gives big gifts, He gives Big Gifts!!!!! I wanted to run around the farm, but you know me I am always so calm! Heehee! Jen sent me the questions for the post and I answered them.

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN YEAR ROUND FUN

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN YEAR ROUND FUN COOKBOOK

Kids in the kitchen Year Round Fun is the sweetest cookbook! I found it when I was on our trip to Cottonwood Falls. It is jammed packed with wonderful recipes, that you can do with your children or grandchildren. I love all the Gooseberry Cookbooks and this one is know exception. I am taking this cookbook with me, because we are going to leave tomorrow for COLORADO for a vacation. Oh my, you can not believe how excited all the girls are here in this house! Poor husband, with 3 ladies getting ready packing and packing. I am taking my sewing machine and fabric. Ha! Can you imagine the van. We will make sure Mr. Phil will get his suitcase though! We are going stay in a cabin with electricity. There is a creek in front of the cabin and the smell is soooo wonderful. So woodsy. Yes, just what we need. I guess there is a black bear sharing the space. mmmm. My youngest is so excited she can’t stand it. She just squeals with delight around the house! I am hoping I can find some quilt, scrapbook and yarn stores. I need this vacation, so bad. I will try to put up some pictures on my blog. I hope I can do that.

Any way back to the cookbook. I am going to take it and come up with some menus, because when we come back we will be having Grammie and Poppa Camp with alllllll my nine grandchildren. This book is just perfect. I love it. The recipes are real simple and any child would love them.

While I am gone I will be designing some new patterns. One for sure will be a new apron. Remember the little jar in a few posts back? Well I will be finishing four new patterns using the little jars.

Also, did you know that Gooseberry Patch has a blog? I just found out about it. I think it started in Aug. I think you are going to like it!

Please pray for our safety. Thank you so much. I will be checking if there are any comments on my blog. There is a coffee house down from the cabin, so I can keep posted. I am so excited myself!!! We have a house sitter to take care of the horses, chickens, cats, bunny, dog and iguana so we don't have to worry about anything!

Blessings,

Linda
