"Ha!�� That's funny!! �� I freakin' LOVE�� all these chicks!! �� Their funny, caring, crazy as heck, sweet, beautiful,they love God, and their family,they are reading this email�� right now.......... & I love them all!!"

And dear friends - I am going to do something you might think is a bit weird - which is not unusual for Chatty. Just ask my family...

I'm going to send each and every one of you who left a comment, are one of my followers, AND who did not win - a very tiny gift in the mail - a consolation prize! Believe it or not I am.

So if you played, follow me, and did not win - send me your address. Yes really! I ALREADY HAVE THE GIFTS. Now they are not BIG gifts, but I think they are cute ones.

SO THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU - OLD CHATTY ONLY HAS WINNERS AS FOLLOWERS!
So thank you to my Vitamin F's! And I mean this - you guys are my friends.

Now if I missed anyone who left a comment who played - let me know - I make mistakes. I tried to be careful that is why this is so late.
And if I spelled your name incorrectly I'm sorry.
And my email address is skcz@comcast.net .
So send me your snail mail address. I mean it.
And give me a week or two to get this all done.

Hope you all had fun and thanks for being my friends - you guys are the world's greatest.

My favorite movie is - It's A Wonderful Life - and do you remember what Clarence told him in the end - "No man is a failure who has friends."

I recently saw a quote that said, "The best thing you can have is a friend. The best thing you can be is a friend."

You, my dear, have it both ways. What a sweet idea to give a gift to everyone.

Have a wonderful day.

Love,
Patti

Sharon said...

OK, I happened to notice that Debbie won another giveaway on another blog. Now she's won here, too?? (I think she's rigging the results, just sayin')

As much as it disappoints me to have missed out on the *chick* glasses, I think it's VERY nice of you to give all of us something. As if your lovely blog, and wonderful personality weren't enough!
