| Sunflower Blowing Kisses or Stifling A Giggle? Flowers Are So Expressive! |
Thanks to all of you who left comments on my post for the giveaway! I wrote all the names out on slips of paper and put them into a bowl. (Such a pleasure to write out your names and to think fondly of each one of you. I sent all of you a special blessing, I hope you felt some positive vibes!)
And the winner is..........
FUNDY BLUE, STANDING INTO DANGER!!!
(Louise, send me an email with your full name and address. I don't have to have your address for the gift-card, but I wanted to send you a note too!)
But wait, I had so much fun doing that, that I drew ANOTHER name! For this prize, it will just be a LITTLE SOMETHING, but the second name is.....
Tracey from BREATHING ENGLISH AIR!
(So, Tracey, please send me your address in an email also!)
If you get the chance, please take a look at their blogs. Tell them Georgia Girl With An English Heart sent you! I have a couple of paintings for you. The first one is by Ravilious and is a painting of the lighthouse at Beachy Head, in Eastbourne, England. The second one is by Monet and is of the Houses of Parliament in London-my son has this on a poster! Must have something on this blog to do with England sometimes!
Thanks to all who left comments on my last post about Stone Mountain...I need to tell you that the newscast was in connection to Stone Mountain being used for KKK meetings and the reporter said that RACISM had taken root there! So unfair to think of Stone Mountain in that way. I think we should know our history but we should celebrate what we have that is beautiful. Racism is real and serious and I am not making light of it but to forever connect it to Stone Mountain seems unfair. Those men in hoods meeting on the mountain should not stain the mountain, so to speak. I'll let you know if we hear anything back from the news reporter. Even if we do not, we had to take up for Stone Mountain, something that cannot speak for itself!
Thanks again for reading and commenting on my blog. I really appreciate every one of you. Hope you have a great weekend and in the USA, have a safe and happy Labor Day! Must go now, we are going to...you guessed it, STONE MOUNTAIN!
Love,
Kay
Congratulations to the two winners!

Check out those two blogs if you get the chance, they are such funny intelligent women, you know, just like us! HA! :-)
DeleteCongrats to the winners! Love that giggling sunflower.
ReplyDeleteSince I giggle a lot, I really liked that sunflower, then I thought maybe it also looked like it was blowing a kiss and then, I knew I wanted to have it on this post announcing the giveaway winner!
DeleteCongratulations to the lucky winners!!! I do love the sunflower too. I'm sorry that your beautiful mountain needs to be associated with something so ugly. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you associate Stone Mountain with natural beauty, I think that is how it should be for everyone!
DeleteGoodness what a lovely surprise! Thank you so much, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all enjoying your long weekend.
Oh, I hope you will like what I am sending to you! It will only be something small, but I hope you will like it.

Lovely art! It's too bad about the negativity associated with that mountain, but your blog helps to publicize its beauty.
ReplyDeleteStone Mountain is visited by so many people, but I hope that one day, it will be appreciated for its great natural beauty, and not just a place to jog and ride a bike.
DeleteLove the giggling sunflower and the Ravilious picture. x
ReplyDeleteI am so silly, I make even the flowers giggle!
DeleteVery happy that you like the Ravilious picture too, I love his paintings of Sussex, I am fairly familiar with that area, the only part of England that I know.
Thanks to your blog, I am learning more of it! xx
Hi Kay! It's exciting to win your giveaway! Thank you! The picture of the sunflower is so cute! I am amazed at some of the things I hear on newscasts. There are plenty of places stained by racism, and not just in the US. Your Stone Mountain is beautiful, and racism began long before meetings on Stone Mountain. It has existed throughout human history unfortunately. I see the clean rain falling on the mountain and washing the ugliness away. I love rocks, and I love your posts about Stone and Arabia mountains. Have a great week! x
ReplyDeleteHappy that you won!
DeleteI agree with you so much, and I love the imagery of the rain washing away the racism. If only it could wash it away from everywhere and for all time.
I love rocks too and am just as fascinated by the rock on Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain and Panola Mountain as I am with the wildflowers.
You should see me on an English beach with all the pebbles, I spend a lot of time looking at them! xx
Back again, Kay! I'm having trouble with your email link on your profile at my end ~ that will be a subject for an Apple training session! My email address is mlouisebarbour@gmail.com ~ Can you please send me your email address there? Thanks! L
ReplyDeleteOkay, will do so now. Hope you have a great week too! :-)
Deletewhat a lovely sunflower!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment on my blog x
Thank you! You have a lovely blog!
DeleteScroll down to the bottom of my blog and you will see some forget-me-nots from England! The photo was taken in my mother-in-law's garden, and those flowers are just so precious to me!
