I wonder… I wonder if it would be okay with everyone if instead of using random.org to generate a winner for the Gorgeous Giveaway, we just very unrandomly choose Jane at My Pear Tree House. Jane is a long-time follower of Maxabella loves… and a fun, generous supporter of many of our blogs. And, oh my, she’s going through a really, really tough time right now.
Please let me know via comment if you are okay to forfeit your entry and send all the prizes to Jane. If I get a enough comments saying ‘yes’ then that is what we will do. We’ll send her a care package full of all these lovely handmade presents from all of us in the blogging community.
Thank you Posie Patchwork, Scissors Paper Rock, Mira Narnie, Ivy Designs and Loved for being open to this idea.
Please let us know.

Gifts of Serendipity says
This is a wonderful sentiment Ms Bella.
I’ve just returned from a weekend away and reading through all the posts about and for Jane has left me wondering how I could possibly support her.
It would be terrific to know that your package of loveliness would be a bright light in what will undoubtedly be a hard time for Jane.
Count me in for a resounding YES!!!
