Spread your wings and find a new home. A quick giveaway to you my friends. Yes another. Unplanned, but I want to offer a little gift of gratitude for your support. I stained the bird with walnut dye because he was a bit too clean-cut for me. He measures 4 1/2" square without the fringe.
I will draw a name Saturday evening at 8pm EST.

Carole is doing well except for the pain. The surgery took longer because they had to replace a questionable lead from the first implantation before adding the new third lead, change the generator/transformer in the unit, and this all took place before the node ablation. Somehow, they burned her chest with an instrument but she is not allowed to use any medication on it because it is too close to the incision. No driving for 3 weeks and wearing a sling on the surgery side for the same length of time.
If you would like Jingle Bird, leave your name, initials if no-reply, on this post.
Thank you all again!

I would love to have Jingle Bird, even though this give-away is totally unnecessary. I'm just glad you're sister came through OK. I hope her pain subsides quickly.
I admire your positive attitude and generosity in the face of all the craziness in your life. I love jingle-bird and would love for him to come live with me. claudia
Love your stitching,so would like to be in the draw for give away. Hope that the healing keeps continuing. Merry Christmas and happy Stitching.
Glad your sister's surgery went well. Love your little Jingle Bird. Take care and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year!
"Miss Carole" is one tough "cookie". She's been through soooo much. I hope she'll be feeling better everyday.
Oh, how, I would love to have "Jingle bird" fly to my home. Thank you for your generosity.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers, no matter what.
Charlotte in Va.
Thanks for the chance to win your Jingle Bird. I love him.
Merry Christmas!!!
Continued prayers and healing thoughts for Carole.
I would love to have a chance to win this sweet pillow. Thanks for the opportunity!
I read your blog everyday, but don't offer many comments, so I am a little apprehensive about joining in when there's such a wonderful give-away. On the other hand, I love your Jingle Bird, so I gotta try! Although I don't personally know you or your sister, I'm glad to read that Carole is doing well.... don't forget to take care of yourself!
You're amazing - all you've had going on there and still wanting to share Jingle Bird. Please include me in your drawing; I know he'd be happy in my home :) Blessings to you and Carole!
I hope your sister gets stronger every day!
Marly
I hope Carole continues to improve and can be home for Christmas. Too bad she received a burn from an instrument... Prayers will continue.
I trust you will be able to wind down a bit and get a restful night's sleep.
It is very thoughtful of you to offer a giveaway, with all that you are juggling right now. Thank you!
Busy Hands...Happy Heart
Patricia
Marly,
Glad things are still going well at the hospital.
Don't apologize for your menomoods; your sharing them makes the rest of us on that road laugh at ourselves too. The best medicine, as they say.
I love your Jingle Bird; I looked through my freebie patterns to see if I had it, but I guess it's not a freebie. I rarely buy cross stitch because my meno-eyes have too much trouble doing it.
I would love to be included in your drawing for Jingle Bird.
Happy, happy Christmas. ...jan
Would love to win this little guy. I love your creations and blog.
Iley
Wishing Carole a speedy recovery! Love Jingle Bird and seeing your fun finishing ideas.
You added the jingle bells back on Jingle Bird! Love him!
Don't forget to take care of yourself while you are taking care of Carole.
Praying for her ongoing healing and recovery! Be sure and take some time for you now!
The Jingle Bird is beautiful. I loved him when you first posted. He would look splendid in my collection.
Wonderful news! Hope you are able to relax and enjoy the season. Hope Carole's pain will be less each day...and her recovery quick.
Love the birdie...please throw my name in the hat.
Robyn
Marly, Thank you for the update on your sister. You both have been in our thoughts and prayers. We're so glad to hear that Carole's surgery went well except for the burn and the pain. We're keeping you both in our prayers. Merry Christmas. SAH
I know you must be worn slap out, mentally AND physically. I'm so glad that Carole is doing better and hopefully you can relax a bit now. :)
Sending hugs from Texas. :)
I hope Carole feels less pain soon. I would love to be entered into the giveaway. Your are very generous. Merry Christmas! Cathie
glad to hear that she is doing well and I am sending positive thoughts that the pain goes quickly for her ...((hugs)) to you too :) love mouse xxxxx
Having the procedure behind you is such a good thing. The anxiety of these is overwhelming at times, without the menopausal enhancements. Prayers are answered in God's time and I think you may have been privy to that. Your generosity of Jingle Bird is evidence of your kindness. He is wonderful.
so very happy to hear of good results ~ you have all been through so much.
Dove chocolate is known for relieving many symptoms of menopause ~ {I can vouch for that} well, except for weight gain. yeah, doesn't help anything in that department!
wishing you Peace,

I will keep sending prayers your way for both you and your sister. Jingle Bird would be very welcome in my home!
So glad that your sister and you came through the whole ordeal well. Still offering up prayers that her healing will be swift and sure.
Glad to hear that things are going well for your sister... Sorry about the burn and the pain she is in, but hopefully that will subside soon. I'm sure it's a huge relief to have the surgery over.
Sooo pleased about Carol's surgery and that she is doing well. Will continue to keep you both in my prayers. Yes, Jingle bird is great with a little grubbiness.
I would be honored to have one of your creations...
Peace to all,
Barb
Every time I read your post I swear we are in some cosmic way. Scary I know.
I am so glad to hear your sister is doing well. I would love to welcome Jingle Bird to my home.
Christmas Blessings.
