WINNER...Truth or Spoof

Well Thank You Girlz all for playing along with me in my silly little game. There were 23 entries and your comments warmed my heart and your answers were funny. I wrote all the names and the number of which you commented on little circles and put them in one of the tiny teapots and Punkin Darlin oh so gently reached in and drew one out!

And.................
Congratulations Terry from Terry's Treasures whose name he drew, so Terry will be receiving a very nice box of goodies and she also is a quilter so she will love the Crazy Quilt book. Terry, please contact me by email and give me your address.
And.............
Now to answer some of your comments. I was a Car hop and Waitress as a teenager at the drive-in/diner my parents owned. I went directly into Business College after high school and while attending school was trained by our family dentist as a Dental Assistant but he ran me off due to his darkroom antics! I worked as a Social Service Designee at a skilled nursing facility for a time and worked as a Telephone Operator when my girls were young and oops! almost forgot that while in high school I worked Saturdays at a ladies dress shop called Lerner's and got to "model" the new fashions while working. I've been a Merchandise Buyer of educational materials in retail and my late husband and I were Caretakers for a hunting club in northern California and also lived with a wealthy family for a short time as tutor/nanny for their children and were their personal cooks. I've tried my hand at house painting and went to beauty school and became a Hair Stylist when the kids were in their teens. My daughter, Lori has a tax office in Hot Springs, Arkansas and also a cable TV show. I go up there during tax season to work in her office and today I write from home the TV copy for all the restaurant sponsors on her show. At my retirement time, I finished my "professional career" as Secretary for the Cathedral of which we are Parishioners here in Shreveport.
Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I forget anything? Oh yes and I am a huge fan of John Grisham, reading everything he writes as soon as it's out and watch crime and courtroom TV like crazy, but Never no Never have I been a PARALEGAL. And one person guessed that. And because there was only one who came up with the correct Spoof, I have a "Runner-up Pressie" for her.

Deborah of Vintage Soul, please contact me so I can arrange to send you something.
I wish you had all won a gift but I sure won because I made lots of new friends from playing this giveaway game and hope you'll keep coming back to visit, because I know I will continue to see what you're doing. Feels like we're Sisters now:)
See ya tomorrow!

LET'S PLAY A GIVEAWAY GAME

Hi Everyone!
I had an idea during the night when I was supposed to be sleeping.. shhhh! And I think it's gonna be fun.
Because I've worked for 50 years! Yep I truly have and because I like to write stories that make folks wonder "now what is Truth or what might be a little Spoof" I've decided to combine the two and have a GIVEAWAY!

I will list 15 jobs I've held (actually 14) for various lengths of time during my life and only ONE will be a spoof.

All you have to do is read my list and comment on it telling me which job you think I'm Spoofing about.
The Game begins now ... today and will be open until the end of day on Monday Aug. 31. I will randomly choose an entry and post the winner on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
And BTW.....you DO NOT have to have the right answer to win!

Now here's what the Giveway Box will contain and it's a pretty good sized box, huh?
First of all is this Crazy Quilting Book just loaded with gorgeous eye candy and whether you quilt or not, you will love owning this book and can use these techniques in your art work in so many amazing ways.
Some images here showing you what you'll see inside the book

And the second book is for all who like to journal or maybe you've been a wee bit intimidated about beginning. Never fear, 'tis easy peasy and soooo rewarding. This book guides you on a spiritual journey of "journaling".
Contents of the book for a sneek peek!

And a little glimpse at what you'll find. Lots of artists coming together to share in their work.

PLUS............ depending on your individual interests I will cram the box full of goodies like supplies and little hand-dids. So tell all your readers and c'mon over to play Truth or Spoof.

1. Telephone Operator
2. Waitress
3. Dental Assistant
4. Domestic Diva to California Family
5. Retail Sales Model
