Well you know that such joy is always balanced

with a little sadness for that is the way of the world

and

just today we witnessed the passing of our

beloved Bessie, our boss girl pet Angora Goat (1 of 8).

She was the oldest and the wisest of the little flock!

Thank you dear Bessie for bringing so much love,
companionship, joy and beautiful mohair
(which I use to create with!)

into our lives!

We sure will miss you girl!

Do you ever ask yourselves "How would my world now
be without my blog and blogging? I can't tell you 
how much it has changed my life over the last 3 years
or so and I am full of gratitude for that
 so this little Giveaway was just an expression of that.
for the amazing friendships formed, for the inspiration and joy
realized here!!!

Thank you all for enriching my life!
Sending you big hugs,
Suzy
