Sundays in My City/Weekly Winners


All kinds of winners in my "city" this week....

Kendall and I took it upon ourselves to update some mother-daughter shots. 
Here's the winner that made it to my FB profile....


Then, you may not believe this, but in the last month, I have won four giveaways! One was for Karen Neuberger socks from The Mom Jen. One was from Michelle, from Honest and Truly, for e.l.f. cosmetics (Yea!)  Everyday Kathy sent me this beautiful Baccarat Necklace from her giveaway on Everyday Bliss,


and June sent a lovely bag that she made from a bed pillowcase! (That woman is a whiz with the sewing machine! Check her out at 3! A Charm It fits neatly in my purse, which means that I never forget it in the car when I go the the grocery store.  It came thoughtfully wrapped like this...


and I was just touched by her thoughtfulness. (Thanks, again, June! I've used it twice already.) And finally, because this post made Lynn, of For Love or Funny, "howl with laughter," she sent this incredible prize package,


which I will happily wear (see the beautifully made apron?! 
It reads, "Call for Takeout!") and use 
(those towels are hand-stitched! Maybe too pretty to use!)  
She was also kind enough to send the adorable applique
t-shirts for me to put in a raffle at school. 

Also, in my "city" this week, I took a few shots of nature's bounty....

Fresh summer veggies from local gardens...

Gems from Mom's flowerbed...



Hollyhock...



And one of my own flowers...



Cooper had to get in on a game of SORRY...He whined like crazy until we invited him!


And we hate to admit it, but once AGAIN, Kendall was the WINNER! 
(Gotta get that kid to a casino, I swear!)

Hope you had a winning week, too! You can't lose, visiting I am Lotus and Unknown Mami.

  1. I can see why you chose that photo - good one! I really like the game Sorry, but no one likes to play with me. I swear I grew up in a family of game haters and then married one LOL

    This truly is a winner of a post! Congrats :)

  10. Congrats on your giveaway winning. I think YOU are the one who should go to a casino. Wow. What fun this month has been for you. Hubby and I play Sorry and he usually wins. Then I pout but then I still want to play another game.

  11. Tomatoes and cucumber abound here in the south...already to hot for lettuce! We tried to play sorry this week as well...no winners because the toddler I'm watching sat in the middle of the game board... it's been awhile since I've had a toddler in the house...I'd forgotten :)

    You and your daughter absolutely shine in the photo.

  23. Lovely post...and look at you, winning, so much. This year, I couldn't believe it, I won a home server, valued at $545, entering a haiku contest for Intell. I don't even write haiku!! Rhyming verse is my type of poetry. At any rate, I sold it for $400 on Craig's list, a big help with my job loss and subsequent retirement!

    You and your daughter are so beautiful... poor me, with three sons...ah, I shouldn't say that. They are wonderful young men...but I so much wanted ONE girl.

  24. Wow! You are living right-- Congratulations on all the fabulous loot you won. Woo-hoo.

    Happy SIMC,
