And the winner is…

February 8th, 2008

Congratulations Lisa of Dorky Homemade Quilts! It’s going to be tough to mail the needlebook… I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY would much rather hand deliver it!

Meet KiwiGirl… the newest member of the HZ staff. KiwiGirl was born from the super duper talented hands of my sweet peep gal pal Louise of Prairie Mouse. Isn’t she adorable! Seriously adorable! I could just squeeze her - wait… I DO! It’s a typical rainy dark Oregon day, so my photos are dark and funky - even though KiwiGirl lights up the room. KiwiGirl used a random number generator at random.org. First number on the list… #1!

KiwiGirl came to me for Christmas from Louise. Talk about loud squeals when I retrieved my mail! But I waited until Christmas morning to free her from her darling gift wrap. It was difficult… but so worth the wait! Mimi is a teeny weeny bit jealous, so KiwiGirl sits right by computer near me. She’s pretty good with the mouse too (I think Lisa will agree). I don’t know if Mimi’s worried KiwiGirl will steal PA Bob’s heart… or that because KiwiGirl has the dexterity to use the mouse.

Thank you everyone for playing along and Sharon the love for Sharon!

    Oh yes, I’d love to hand deliver that one too!
    KiwiGirl is the cutest. At the rate your staff is growing you’ll have to relocate to larger premises soon. :-)



  2. The fabulous Thimbleanna allegedly said:

    Congratulations to Lisa! As adorable as KiwiGirl is, you tell Mimi that she doesn’t need to be jealous. After all, has KiwiGirl been fondled by Hurley???? Have a great weekend!



  3. The fabulous Jackie allegedly said:

    Congrats to Lisa!! I love Kiwi girl. I think I would have been squealing too!! She was very smart to use the random number generator…you’ve hired a keeper!



  4. The fabulous sharon allegedly said:

    Congratluations to the lucky winner. Love that new little girl in your family. She is freakin adorable!!!!!



  5. The fabulous Arlette allegedly said:

    Hi! KiwiGirl is just too cute! Looks like she has a tan from her last vacation in Hawaii! It’s funny, because alot of my relatives had nicknames just like her. There’s CharlieBoy, ChuckieBoy, EddieBoy, GeriGirl and so many more. That’s so island! LOL
    Anyway, I haven’t stopped by your blog since Mimi took her world-wide trip (which I totally loved) and it looks like I sure missed alot. I’ve got to park the okole and visit for a while.
    Aloha!



  6. The fabulous Paula allegedly said:

    Congrats Lisa! I heart KiwiGirl, too. You better keep a close eye on her next time I’m anywhere near your too-die-for craft room. KiwiGirl would love to come and visit at my house and Mimi has already said that she will help make that happen. (She is a bit jealous. It’s always hard when Mama gets a new toy!)



  7. The fabulous cindy allegedly said:

    Oh My, she’s adorable. And sounds talented! :) Poor Mimi, you’d better do a little something special for her. You know that “middle child” thing. :)



  8. The fabulous louise allegedly said:

    oh i’m blushing, and so proud. my heart skipped a beat when i saw her there! i’m glad to hear that she is behaving herself and singing for her supper!

    munk is sitting here with me readying himself for his passport photo. miss p is allowing him to go with me!

  9. The fabulous Doe allegedly said:

    Hmmp!!That KiwiGirl thinks she’s all that with her pinkish-rosy cheeks, cute ducky dress with polka dot collar, red stripe stockings and big ol’ shoes! Well, let me tell you something…She’s FREAKIN’ ADORABLE!!!!



  10. The fabulous Doe allegedly said:

    Opps! Forgot to congratulate the winner.

    Congrats Lisa!!!!!



  11. The fabulous Wendy allegedly said:

    KiwiGirl looks like she is a big help with blogging. I love her rosy cheeks and pig tails.
    Congrats to the winner Lisa…she is a very lucky ducky.



  12. The fabulous Mary Anne Drury allegedly said:

    Belated congrats to Lisa !! …. and that KiwiGirl sure is a looker !!! You’ll just have to lay down the law to her, Mimi and PA Bob that there just cannot be any inter office dating !



  13. The fabulous ellen crimi-trent allegedly said:
