(WOYWW Post below this everyone, sorry!)
It has been for drink in our creek! I had to rescue it one day and had to clamber over rocks and wade into the creek to get it with the help of some Scandinavian tourists, who pushed it in the right direction for me! The special hat was looked after - the Lord cares about little and big things, especially when we take the time to commit them to Him.
Okay, now – big drum roll, please! We have a hat, we have names in that there hat and we will have a draw out of that there hat!
Ta da!! A big congratulations - the winner is:
Glenda Brooks! @ Magpie's Corner
So Glenda please contact me by email (see my profile for link to email).
I drew a spare name too in case Glenda has some of items in it and can post them on someone else.

I drew a spare name too in case Glenda has some of items in it and can post them on someone else.And this draw, for those not in the know, is for a very BIG thank YOU to the wonderful Encouragers, as my blog is one year old.
I was having a little candy as a way of a very BIG thanks to you all!
There is a verse in Proverbs 16:31 in the Bible “The lot is cast into the lap but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.”
Well in this case, it is a hat – but the choice was left up to the all wise One, for His distribution.
Apologies to all who do not win – it is a shame I don’t have prizes for all of you – I would so very dearly love to!
Do you like the hat? It is one from Bhutan and my dear sister brought it back for me. :D

The special hat was looked after - the Lord cares about little and big things, especially when we take the time to commit them to Him. So that explains why I chose it for the draw ( with Monkey and Bear to supervise).
I want to close with a very big thank you to each and every one of you for all your beautifully encouraging words on my candy draw post and over the past year - you live up to your name, you very dear WONDERFUL Encouragers.
Thank you also for the NEW ENCOURAGER'S who have joined since then- and hope and pray you stay around and enjoy it.
May the LORD bless your day wherever you may be,

PS I close with an oil painting by my father (who is 82) of one of our local beaches.

Hi Shaz, Thanks for stopping by. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your father's painting. It is so very typical of the Australian coastal area and especially of the type of beach that I love so much ... trees for shade, a path to the sand, boats in the distance and even an island (or headland?) nearby. Forgive me if I wax lyrical, but I feel like I could just step into that painting and be at home there!
I love your hat, Shaz. what gorgeous colours.
Wow, your father's painting is stunning. Artistic talent must definitely run in your family. How lovely to look at this every day. I would feel like I was on holiday all the time.
Hope you are having a good week.
hugs Lisax
