I know this is gonna sound weird, after I'd done the draw I felt really very sad and quite 'down' that not everyone could be a winner. And also, it was interesting that in the end I didn't need to split any of the prizes (say between a stamp and a die set or whatever) and no-one won two prizes. Sometimes that Random number thingy spooks me a bit!
So all I need now please is your addresses so I can post the goodies off to you. Rather than highlight whose addresses I already have can I please ask, for this once, that regardless, you do drop me an email (my address is on the RHS sidebar) with your address and also confirming that I haven't got in a muddle and you really do want the prize you won. It'll make sure I don't make any errors and also means I don't have to hunt for 16 addresses stored in three different places in emails and on my laptop. If you put WINNER in the email subject line then I'll be able to spot them quickly too.
Thanks girls - and a huge thank you to everyone for joining in the fun! It did end up beong more work than I'd thought here - but who said that spreading a little bit of sunshine has to be like a stroll in the park?
Talking of strolls in the park - day by day I'm more mobile despite the trotter still swelling and the pain is much more bearable too. I have a hospital appointment on Wednesday morning and hope we perhaps can then plan a way forward to stop this happening again. Tee, hee - I might have to wear a pair of Len's Padders slippers to hospital - or perhaps flip flops if it's dry weather. Still can't get a shoe on that foot, sigh.
Anyone remember Goofy and his huge feet?
Di (and Parsnip of course)

I think that's a great plan, Di--wear those boats--haha! Congrats to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the lucky winners! Enjoy! Thank you Di for all the fun and work you have put into this and for the chance to win the fab giveaways too! I am glad your foot is improving - take care! xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your health is on the way to return normal. Good luck for the hospital appointment!
Ooh I won the jolly drunken trees yay! :-)
ReplyDeleteAww you poor thing I get huge extremely painful elephant feet every summer and most of the year but I don't have to wear shoes lol actually I still used to get that before my ME got really severe but not quite so bad so just wore loose shoes
Big hugs and kisses will mail you now xxx
Congrats to all the winners and THANK you for all the love and effort you put into your playground! Of course I remember Goofy - fondly so! I am glad to read you are getting a bit better! Hopefully with some diet and medication you won't have to go through this again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners! Thank you for putting on this Herculean effort to bring sunshine to the Playground and the lives of so many, Miss Di!! I'm very pleased to hear that you are doing much better and I hope your doctor visit on Wednesday is productive! You know, Goofy (Len) shoes are a great idea, but you also have the option to get one of those rubber naked feet with huge toes that clowns used to wear! Or was that just my Uncle Frenzie? Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAh dear Miss you've worked your fingers to the bone again helping the playground to much joy and happiness. Thank YOU!!!
ReplyDeletePray some spreads your way too, in respect to less Goofy like feet etc. :)
Glad you're feeling more chipper long may it continue, and indeed a plan of attack for future is very very wise.
Been there done that once is quite enough.
Huge congrats to all our dear playmates and their wonderfully generous prizes too,
Hugs and prayers,
Shaz in Oz.x
Congrats to all and to you too Di for hosting such a magnificent challenge! I'm with Darnell, some rubber feet would be so much fun to wear! I'm only 5'2 but feel I have hobbit feet, got a good grip on the ground lol! Hope you are better soon, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteAwww Di, I remember Goofy well, and I'm so sorry your footie is still swollen so much. Gosh, I hope they can soon get this under control so you can enjoy life as you're used to!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this huge giveaway, and I'm feeling quite fortunate to see my name among the winners! Congrats to everyone and thanks for your generosity always! ((hugs))

Well done to all the lucky winners and bless you Di for all the effort this has taken you. You certainly do bring a ray of sunshine to the blogging world.

ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations to all the winners and well done Miss for all your time and trouble. Should I really be calling you Sasquatch, also known as Big Foot!!
ReplyDeleteKath xx
Congrats to all the winners and Miss Di just to let you know it's nice to win a prize but that's not why most of us come here, it's for the sense of friendship, hugs, parties behind the bike sheds, and finally but more importantly it's because you are here. Wished we all lived nearer to each other although that might cause some issues for the males if we are all manically crafting, sharing, encouraging shopping lol, and all that! Hope you get some more help for that foot and buggers off soon, it's not fair you are like that huni.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs from all of us and a big thank you too for all your hard work and getting us together Karen xx (p.s. my toe is swollen so that I can't wear a shoe either lol)!
Thank you for my win Di, and congrats to all the other winners : )
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners, this was such a fun challenge and I was surprised and honored to see my card featured as a new player and your lovely write up, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteGlad there's some improvement with the foot, Di! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for the enormous generosity from you, Di. Can't say I am unhappy to see my name as one of the winners. I'll drop you an e-mail asap. Congrats to all my fellow lucky-gal-winners!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Eemeli
Congratulations to all the lucky winners!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Di for organising all of the snippets fun!
