the Winner is….

Congrats, Susan!

You will receive this handmade gift!

A batik tissue box featuring Orange Carp.

(Carp are good luck, BTW.) If you are interested in seeing pics of the batik process click HERE.

Thank you to all who bought the book AND who wrote a review. We are up to 45 now! Just 5 more and Amazon will start recommending the book. So, if you haven’t written one (Sorry to CARP ;o) but I promise you it literally takes three minutes) please consider helping me out and posting a review.

Also, I have been featured in The Tullahoma News. Click HERE to take a peek. And I was recently a guest on Carol Cork’s blog “Rakes and Rascals.”

Now that my son has been deposited at College, I will be concentrating on my apartment renovation in upper Manhattan (still so much to do!) And getting back to finishing the second book in the Reluctant Hearts series which features Nora Havermere and an American Hero, Farren Cavanaugh.

Stay tuned for more Trash to Treasure, more give-a-ways, and updates on my apartment progress. (The Lipstick on a Pig Project)

Thanks again to all! I know everyone is so busy but I would be so grateful if you would please take two ticks and write a review. :o)
