More of that "CORNY" stuff and a contest!

Here are just a few more highlights of the Corn Wagon Family Reunion (Shop Hop). Get ready to laugh! My twin sister Verna(Mary Ann) was in charge of the games. Oh boy, does she love games. Anytime someone yelled out game she was always the first one there.
What the heck is Char doing? She thinks she needs her feet on two numbers for the game! Char is a very good customer and an ex employee of the shop. It was good to see her, she has moved to Australia for two years but gets to visit the states every 3 months and we are so glad the shop hop was while she was home for her first visit.

We had so much fun over the weekend, we even had the little ones rolloing on the floor. What a cutie!
Now look who popped into say hi on Saturday. It's none other than my dear, sweet husband Stuart(Claude Melvin). This was totally unexpected as was the day before. Now doesn't that make you laugh? It did me, and everyone else that was in the shop that day. What would I do without my "Melvin"? I mean Stuart.
And look who just happened to pop in about the same time as Stuart did. It's our daughter Kira and I don't know what she thought, only that her Dad was a bit crazy that day. Am I really married to this guy? Oh my gosh, I can't quit laughing as I am writing this blog. You should meet my handsome sometime. I promise to make him mind his manners when your around!
More family(customers) we hadn't seen for quite sometime. It seems Verna was the welcoming committee all by her lomesome and she did a mighty fine job at it. What a hoot she is!
And look Grandma Gert(Kristen) is modeling another new dress. My she's a fancy dresser and that figure, how does she do it? I am dying to tell you her secret but I made a promise I wouldn't tell everyone. She likes "yarn" though!
Here are the card wallets that I made to sell during the shop hop. Here's a little contest for all that are reading this. If you can guess how many of these little babies I made you could be the winner of one yourself. Leave your guess in with your comment. I will give it a week from today and then I will pick not one but two winners. Everyone that has one of these just loves it, I think you would too! Some of these had already sold before I took the picture so there were more. Good luck and thanks for laughing along with me as I shared our experiences of our first Corn Wagon Family reunion.

I have to say, I think Melvin out did the whole family. lol. And since I know him so well because he is part of our real family, this doesn't surprise me. I'll bet Kira thought he was crazy.
Oh, and I would really like a wallet, so just tell me how many you made? Ok, knowing you, I will say 70.

I'm thinking 58. Everything you make looks so cute. Everytime I see a new bag, I'm thinking I need to make one. Just bought the pattern for my favorite bag. Ready to make it. Keep the cute ideas coming.

Shannon! I can't stand it when I don't get on to my blog as often as I should. Your last few posts have been so entertaining! I love your pictures of Shop Hop. You are all so creative!
I'm coming down for your sale on the 7th. We are staying overnight near by, just so we can get up at 6:00 in the morning! I can't wait.
I don't know if it's too late to guess how many card holders you made, but I'm guessing 100. They are darling!
I have to get the pattern for the little pouches you made. Is it available?
Take care cute thing!

Hai Shannon, Yvonne tipped me about the card wallets you made. They look really lovely. All that beautifull colors. I guess you made 62 pieces of it. That's my age and I feel that's the right number. If I'am not a winner Yvonne tries to get the pattern. I love to follow your blog.
Love Rennie http://rennie-stitchinbitch.blogspot.com
