A Rarity

Here's something unique and exciting!

I won another giveaway (or two)! Let me show you the goods.

~*~

I won the July Giveaway from Jo in NZ
She has a blog called
"No Matter Where I go...
I Always Meet Myself There!"

The prize???

This fabulous hand stitched fabric post card!

Isn't it cool?

Look at the awesome stamped postmark
on the other side. She actually wrote on it.
Thank you, Jo in NZ!

I thought I'd post this in honor of
Postcard Friendship Friday!

Welcome PFF'ers!

Next, I'd like to share the stitch chart I won
from Marjorie of
Moonsilk Stitches!

It's a nice pattern. It's stitched acorns.
I love acorns!

Thank you, Marjorie!

She even slipped in this bonus book
on teaching crafts.
It has a section on ethics in teaching
crafts. I thought that was kind of cool.
It talks about not gossiping about your students.
I rather like that. I've never gossiped about my
students, but did my best to create
an emotionally safe environment for learning.
I hope they felt it.

Sometimes I think about ethics in blogging.
I think similar things apply. I am not
attracted to blogs that put down others or
say negative things about their bloggy "neighbors".
I've even seen some blogs that "blast" someone
publically when maybe there was private issue
only shared in email. I think that's a big no-no.

On the other hand, it's always a pleasure to visit
blogs that send sweet shout outs about their
friend's blogs or blogs they admire.
It makes me feel safe visiting there!

Thank you for visiting and allowing me the privilege of sharing some of my week with you! It is always a pleasure to share here in bloggerland. I hope you say "hello" before you run off to visit more of your bloggy neighbors here in the bloggerhood!
