Awesome Tuesday

Wow, about a week ago I won an online giveaway on Quilters Newsletter site. I still have a hard time believing it, I'm elated to have won. The fabrics are just breathtaking beautiful, like something I just want to stare at and not touch, except that it is too exquisite not to touch. And, there is also this awesome 2014 calendar with frame-worthy photos of amazing quilts. I'm a little bit in shock. :)
So thankful !

Thought for Tuesday...

Just checked a lottery ticket I had not checked from last month. I buy one Powerball ticket a month. Well, I am stunned, I won $4.00. How awesome!!!

“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.”  ~Madonna

a woman of courage and strength

I believe we will see a new star in the skies tonight, one that shines brighter than the rest. I admired, loved and adored Elizabeth Edwards so very much. In my opinion, she did not have to leave the earth to live with the stars and become an angel; she was an angel while she walked this earth. She was a woman who fought for those less fortunate, healthcare for all, children, women, and education...you name it she fought for it.

She did not lose. She WON!!

The world will miss her. Most of all, her family will miss her.
