09.23.2005 :: Tickled Sky Blue!
Wasn't that fun? I hope you have been visiting other people's blogs to see a bit of their world. I hoped to link everyone but I'm afraid I won't be able to. Be sure to visit yesterday's comments and go sky surfing!
Sky. I have seen the sky above dear friends and new friends, sky from neighboring towns in Massachusetts and from far away places like Barcelona, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong and everything in between. I have seen sunny skies, cloudy, rainy days. Sunsets. Sunrises. Pinks, golds, blues and grays. The sky is vast, as is this world. But the past few days, it's seemed a bit smaller with all the warmth and friendship being extended.
May your sky always be beautiful.
I have TRIED to comment to each of you, but I am not successful yet. I will visit you if I have not yet.
The winners?
Lorna's Laces, Gold hill (sorry, Norma) Wannietta Send me your address Wannietta!
And...
The winner of the Lorna's Laces, Vera yarn?
Cheryl! It's her birthday on Sunday! How appropriate!
Note about picking winners: I assigned each email a random number and then went to THIS random number generator. Totally random. How on earth could I have picked one winner out of those lovely sky photos?
Thanks to all for making me feel loved.
Right back at ya!

Sandy, I have loved your sky photos since I first stumbled on your blog a year or two ago. I feel so privileged to share my love of the heavens with so many people of the world. Thanks for doing this again this year.

I'm such a goose! Here I am waxing poetic about a picture I forgot to post:) It is up now--just so you can see a bit of our lovely skyline. Of course mine does have a few cook's heads in it.

Sandy, It was your contest that brought me to your blog for the first time. Now it's on my favorites list. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what our blog friends see in their little section of the world each day. Congrats to the lucky winners.

Congrats winners!
Sandy I really enjoyed seeing everyone's pics. I've decided to included more of 'my place' on my blog because of this contest. I've added another sky pic from this morning that couldn't be more different to yesterday - it's very misty today! Thanks for your lovely comment about my pics.

What a fun contest! Thanks! The internet and blog friends have certainly made the world smaller to me! It's amazing. And I'm only posting this ONCE this time. :-).

Now that the contest is over I can post a link LOL My digital cam has been mia for months, but I wanted to share one of the gorgeous sunrises we get here in charleston. http://people.musc.edu/~mitchejm/Links.html
I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed seeing all the different blues in the sky :) congratulations to the winners!

What a blast! I even added a few sites I found from your comments to my daily reads. Grats of course to the winners as well :-)

Great contest. I'm still going through the blogs, first to see the sky photos, but also to check out the WIPs.
Posted by: Marlene on 09.23.2005 AT 09:39 PM
OH! That's bogus. This contest was RIGGED, I tell ya. Rigged! I tried extra hard and even stuffed the ballot box. It's NOT FAIR. *stomps feet* I'm never going to play again!
Okay, that's over. Dang. Congratulations to the winners, and congratulations Sandy for a winner of a contest. Margene's right: you deserve all the love.

Sandy,
What a lovely contest and yes, it was delightful the way you handled it and it was fun looking at everyone's skies.

Great contest!! Thanks for hosting it! :)

Thanks so much Sandy - you rock! I agree with your other readers, this was a great way to surf through other blogs - I had a great time. And it was nice to take a real moment to look at and appreciate the view(s) above. I have recently discovered LL up here in the Great White North and do not have the Gold Hill colourway so this is very exciting.

What a wonderful way for me to have discovered so many knitting blogs! Absolutely fabulous.
P.S. Have you ever been to Hampton Beach? We live an hour away and I never seem to get there often enough.

It HAS been fun :-))). We are headed out for dinner, but when I come home, Gold Hill is going to be ordered once again.......thank you for making me remember just how much I enjoyed those socks!
Keep smiling and have a great weekend!

It was a fun idea, I had lots of fun visiting so many new places and seeing all the beautiful pictures. :-)

I'm late, I know and I'm sorry. But, it was so neat to see all the sky pictures I just had to go outside and take one here at work. Doesn't the cloud look like a guy with a banana nose tilting his head back and laughing?
