We Have a Winner or Two!

I have really enjoyed all of the blogging this month. I DID IT! I blogged for 31 days straight (that was almost more than my entire blogging career total) Whoo hoooo...

First of all, I would really like to thank everyone for coming by the blog. I really appreciate you taking the time to check in and leave comments on my ramblings. I try to answer when I get a chance, but am not always able to reply in a timely manner. I do read each and every one and want you to know that it means so much that you hear me and have a response to something I've thrown out into the universe.

Blogtoberfest was a lot of fun, many thanks to Tinniegirl and Curlypops for all of the hard work they did to get this organized. The best part for me (besides being a ziggy piggy with prizes) was getting to meet so many great people online. I am thrilled to welcome several new followers to the blog whom I hope will stick around and see what we're up to next (giveaway alert, giveaway alert). I have also discovered many bloggers who share some of the same wide range of interests and opinions that I do. It's fun finding kindred spirits hundreds if not thousands of miles away. It's a big old small world folks.

I decided to pick two winners because 1) I have been so darn lucky on all of these giveaways this month and 2) because it's my blog and I feel like it! Drumroll please.......

Our two winners are: Leathra and Mother Moon's Message

Congratulations ladies! Please send me your mailing addresses and I will get your goodies out to you this week.

Thank you all for participating and keep it dialed in here for a new giveaway announcement in the very near future!

Happy Halloween - Giveaway Drawing Tonight!

Ghouls, goblins, and ghosts will abound...as well as he whose head is lost, all orange and round!

For our mystery treat, perform the right trick. Enter here and be darn quick.

The winner's name will become crystal clear, once the midnight hour has gone and drawn near..

A message like this is what you seek, when your inbox come morning you take a quick peek.

Good Luck and Happy Haunting....

MoonCat Farms Marketplace

MoonCat Farms Marketplace finally has something in it! I got off my rear and found some time to list some of the note cards that I've made from some of my photographs. The three shown above are the first up. I will be adding more over the next few days. All of them are also available as prints. My Etsy shop also has a couple of the flower pincushion/sachets that I made.
I would love to hear what you think!

29 Posts in a Row!! - Blogtoberfest

Can you believe it? I am almost there! A whole month of blogging, EVERY single day...

If you've been with me very long, you'll know that I've been a rather sporadic/spastic/not very regular blogger. Even though I've had a bajillion things on my plate this month, I am so glad I decided to participate in this event known as Blogtoberfest. It has really made me do some thinking and planning for my blog and what I'd like to do with it.

The big bonus for me has been meeting so many new people from all over the world. Some very lovely people have discovered my little old blog and I have discovered several "new t0 me" blogs that I am really, really enjoying. I have also been entering drawings left & right (usually in the wee hours of the morning when the house is quiet).

Because of all of this late night wandering, I've won a couple of drawings - Woo Hoo! Some really cool prizes are coming my way. I will post about them in the next week or so when I can get photos of all my lovely prizes. (Yes, I've been a real piggy with the goodies. But, I will be sharing the blog love and luck with another drawing or two of my own here very soon! Stay tuned...)

I won these little beauties from myevaforeva . Aren't they cute? She offers a great tutorial on how to make these lovelies as well as many other great projects. Check it out!

In the meantime, it's not too late to participate and maybe win yourself some prizes while discovering some great blogs. You can find a list of drawings being held in conjunction with Blogtoberfest at Curlypops (as well as a lot of fun on her site).

Wednesday Whinny - Sunday Sailor

I talk a lot about the ranch and all of our horses, but I tend to be lax about showing you our beauties. Today I would like to introduce you to Sunday Sailor, our Paint Stallion. He is the daddy to the majority of the great horses we use - Cinderfella, my mare Cindy, Pete, and Missy (photos to come, I promise).

We are very proud of the big guy (as is my usual, I have an alternative name for him: Booger, which he does answer to!) He is now a big 18 years old and still going strong. We breed several outside (not our own) mares to him every year. He throws such gorgeous babies. Fortunately they all seem to get his sweet disposition as well as his good looks. Many of them have also inherited his abilities. He's very athletic and a great cow horse. We use him to work cattle, sort, team pen, rope, and just ride for pleasure. He's my big sweetie!
