And the Winner is....

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter my giveaway. I really enjoyed visiting everyone's blog and reading all the wonderful quotes you shared! There is so much to love about autumn and so many ways to express all that is fun, beautiful and bittersweet about the season. I put all the entries in a Open Office Document

cut each entry into strips and Cookie added her rub of approval for the process

 and this morning DH drew the winning slip 

  which belongs to  

Hilachas, my blogging friend from West Texas. I had no idea what Hilachas, her blog title meant, but as she explains "Hilachas is the Spanish word for those little loose threads that fall all over the floor and sewing area as you finish sewing and snip the tail end of the thread off the sewn area." I know I've left plenty of those behind in the past. Congratulations Hilachas!  I will probably do a winter time giveaway after the holidays, so stay in touch!
