I had so much fun with this give-away!!! Back in the day, we used to send out RAKs to each other. I had not sent a RAK in ages. It really feels good to pack up this prize and be sending it out to one of my scrappy friends. And this one is going to Michigan - home to those fabulous Detroit Red Wings!! haha!

Super psyched for you, Pam!!!!! :) :) :)

I'll leave you all with some quotes that I find inspiring ~

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.
{Brother David Steindl-Rast}

~~~~~
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
{William Arthur Ward}
~~~~~
You cannot be grateful and bitter.
You cannot be grateful and unhappy.
You cannot be grateful and without hope.
You cannot be grateful and unloving.
So just be grateful.

Thanks to all who had fun with me during this give-away. I am grateful for every one of you!! {Note - the original post states I would run it for 2 weeks, but we're getting closer to the holidays and I didn't want to wait any longer.}
