Our Eve of Christmas Eve Give-Away!

On this, the eve of Christmas Eve...
in the spirit of giving we wish to
have one more give-away!
Gottfried (Daryle's personal favorite)
whose name means: "God's peace"
will be going to live with the individual
whose name we have 
"picked out of the hat"
from all of the posts entered in
"The Reason for the Season"
 over the past four weeks of Advent.
Gottfried will be living with Rafael and his Mom
from My Tiny Studio... in California!
We couldn't be happier...  Daryle & Katie
