Such fun this week as the comments for the Summer Stash-tacular Giveaway have been rolling in day after day... Many thanks to old friends, new friends and those new stopping by, for all your wonderful comments on the Giveaway post and newer posts from this week too. Pink Purl is such a fun place in huge part thanks to all of you. Thank you for your friendship!

Congrats to our lovely winners! And thank you to everyone for playing along! I look forward to sending off these gift goodies next week. If you've not met these beautiful blogging friends of mine before, please do stop by and say hello.
Where I come from, in the USA, tomorrow, Saturday, is the 4th of July--Independence Day. I would just like to take a moment here to wish all my family, friends and everyone back home a terrific weekend with your celebrations! (The photo shows one of a set of neat old-fashioned American flag coasters that we use a lot--a little taste of home for me.) Dear Husband and I will be having a quiet picnic for two... but we may be taking it indoors, for rain is forecast part of this weekend. (I'll not complain though, for it may relieve us from the very high heat temperatures we've been having for 2+ weeks now.) I'll be away from the computer this weekend to have some fun and quality time with Dear Husband and our Charlie. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend whatever you do, wherever you go! See you next week! :o)
Congrats to the lucky winners and Happy Independence Day to you, too! :)

Lucky winners! I'm frankly relieved that I didn't get the charm packet ~ I don't have to ponder what to do with them and feel guilty as they sit looking at me as my other stash does! LOL! Happy 4th to you too!

Happy Fourth to you as well, Tracy! If we were expecting rain tomorrow, I wouldn't complain either :-D

Hi Tracy
Thanks so much for your lovely give away! I'm excited to be a winner of those pretty trims. Congratulations to all the other winners.
We'll be having a quiet Independence Day, too, this year watching the fireworks on TV. They will have the show in the Hudson River this year instead of the East River, as it is the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery.
Hugs, Pat

Congratulations to your winners. Those are lovely gifts!
We have had nothing but rain and cool weather all summer long. The sun is shining today though, a welcomed sight!
I hope you enjoy your weekend!
take care,
Dawn

Hope you enjoyed your 4th of July picnic! well done to your winners.

Congrats to the winners of your wonderful giveaway. Hey there should be a condition in place for M.Kate in order for her to claim her prize. You should insist that she posts pics of her creations because she has been so reluctant to do so and I'm nosey and want to see samples of her sewing projects! ;D
Hope you had a lovely weekend. One with not too much rain, but still cool enough to be enjoyable :)
Posted by: Tracy | July 05, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Congrats to the winners. I hope you had a great 4th July Tracy.

Congrats to all your lucky stash winners! They are in for a real treat! I hope you enjoy the tennis today. We are in a mad rush of getting things packed up and Jess sorted at her holiday home and then I spoke to Terry and she specifically asked me to come see her today so I think we better do that as well. I hope she is ok. I love you sweet friend. Speak when I get home! xxoo

What lovely treasures to your winners! Congratulations to them!
And a happy 4th to you, and hopes that your picnic was a joy, indoors or out!

Congratulations to all the winners!!! That bundle of trim is gorgeous, I'm so jealous of the person who won that. :)

Hi Tracy. I just wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Fourth of July.
I'm glad the two of you are taking time to enjoy life.
