I cannot begin to thank you enough, 989 qualifying entries, over 1,000 lovely comments left, full of the sweetest wishes. You have all been so very kind to help me celebrate in this way.
(Please note: as promised, FRIENDS is now spelled properly)
Your comments have been like daily hugs and have provided me with so many smiles, the best way to start each day. For anyone who did not follow my blog before the giveaway, this has been a very big year for me. Not only have I celebrated my big birthday in July, but my oldest son turned 21 this summer and my youngest (there's only 2 of them) graduated high school this spring and went off to college a couple of weeks ago. I have never been phased by a number before, not 30 or 40 or even 49, but 50 was hitting hard. This giveaway was another of my "lemonade out of lemons" projects that seems to have worked wonders.
So, today I am 50 years plus 51 day old and I am done counting!
I have some exciting things happening in my creative life, so please pop in from time to time to say hi.
...and what you have all been waiting for...
The Winner Of My Big Birthday Bash Giveaway Is...
Deb
that Garage Sale Gal
Congratulations Deb and again thanks so much to all of you sweet, sweet ladies!
enJOY Your Blessings,
Kimberly

Oh my I thought it was a countdown to your b-day not 50 days after your b-day - silly me.
Congrats to Deb! She'll have so much fun playing with all of your lovely treasures.
Have a wonderful week!

Congrats to the lucky duck winner! Enjoy your 50's my dear. These are the years that it is all about YOU! And only 15 more years until you can get that lovely government check every month! lol
Thanks for such a fun party!
Congratulations to Deb and thank you so much for the fun!
A big CONGRATS to Deb and also to you for your 50+ 51 day Birthday! I've so enjoyed stopping by and I'll be popping back in to see what your up to. Thanks for a fun time!
hugs Lynn
Lucky ol' Deb! - many congratulations to her! Like all the ladies above say, it's been a pleasure to pop by your lovely blog each day - I shall quite miss not having a look at what's going in the basket. '0' birthdays are a bit tricky aren't they? I found the big 4-0 a bit of a bummer, but I've got over that now (it took a few years!). Anyway, your lemonade out of lemons was a great idea and fun for us all. Thanks, Chick. I'll always be back to see what you're up to. xxx
I think your giveaway items were so much fun the way that you kept adding to the pot. I kept coming back to see what you were going to add next. And now I will keep coming back to see what you are up to. Congratulations Deb!

Congrats to Deb!!! woohoo!
Congrats Deb! Have fun with all the lovely items!!!
And thanks Kimberly for hosting this fun event!!! I'll still be coming by to see the beautiful things that you create! I took the idea from you and am having a giveaway on my blog counting the days up to my birthday. Not with an item a day, but just a post a day. I didn't have time to plan it. Maybe next year, or for my blogoversary.
Blessings,
Christine
Congratulations Deb! It's an awesome basket of goodies!! Thank-you Kimberly and Happy 50th and 51 days, it's been a very special time. I hope there's no more Lemons in you life and if there is just blow them a rasberry!!
Hugs
Jo
How fun, and big congratulations to Deb!
But what is it about fifty, I wonder? Hard one for me, too, even if it was a long time ago! (Eek. Did I say that?!)
Happy Birthday!!! I have enjoyed your countdown! Congrats to Deb!!! She will be in heaven with all the goodies! Thank you for offering such a great giveaway!
Hugs, Lisa
Happy Birthday, Kimberly! And -- congrats to Deb! :)
