The winner of my “Project F.A.R.M.: Clothespin Queen” giveaway is: Brenda Wheeler, who said:

“That bag is as cute as can be! A little trick I learned to keep blue jeans from fading so fast is to hang them wrong side out. Also, I to undo the button and zipper. It doesn’t take so long for the placket around the zipper to dry and it also lets air around the pockets. Another thing I do is to only put the clothespin on socks from the top and through only one layer of fabric. I have found that thick work socks dry faster and it doesn’t seem to stretch the tops. I have been hanging my clothes out for at least 43 years now. Love the smell, and they last so much longer. Thanks for all the previous tips, ladies.”

The winner of my “Milk Cow Kitchen, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for a free copy of my Milk Cow Kitchen book) is: Nikki Hurlbut, who left this comment in response to “Tell me the name of your milk cow (even if it’s still only a fantasy) …”

The winner of my “Do Unto Animals, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for a free copy of Tracey Stewart’s book, Do Unto Animals) is Denise, who left this comment in response to “Tell me about your favorite pet animal (real or imaginary) …”

“I just lost my favorite girl on the 9th of this month. Her name was Shelbyanne and she was a sweet little Boston terrier. I had her for 13 years. Would love to be entered for this. I’m an avid animal lover and would love to learn all I can.”

The TWO winners of my “Annie Sloan, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for free copies of Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint Workbook) are:

Jona Newcomb, who left this comment in response to “Tell me what your favorite color of lipstick is and at what age you think you first painted your lips …”

“My favorite color lipstick is fuchsia! I love a pop of color. I was about 12 years old when I discovered lip gloss, but once I found lipstick I never looked back. I’d love to win this book. I’ve been contemplating redoing my kitchen cabinets and would love to learn more about this fabulous paint.”

AND

Carrie, who commented:

“My first lipstick experiment was when I was 9 – my Mom’s. She always wore beautiful pinks and coral shades that suited her coloring. Alas, barely-there neutrals in shades of rose and mauve suit me best, though most days I think Blistex and Carmex are what I tend to apply.”

The winner of my “Farmgirl Sisterhood, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for a free, one-year membership to the Farmgirl Sisterhood) is Rachele, who left this comment in response to “Tell me how MaryJanesFarm connects you to other women …”

“My aunt subscribed me to this magazine and I got my first issue this month. I think I might have read it 4-5 times now and I keep finding new interesting things. I’m a country girl in the city. When I read about the Farmgirl Sisterhood, I instantly got excited and so desperately want to be a part of this group! I would love to learn from other women and grow as a person. Someday, I would love to have my own garden (city garden) and I absolutely love animals and have dreamed of having chickens. I have 2 boys who I think would love and grow from this as well. I can’t wait for the next issue and I hope I win!!”

The winner of my “Moo-n Over Main Street, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for a free copy of my children’s book, Moo-n Over Main Street Metropolis) is Shannon Hudson, who left this comment in response to “Tell me what your favorite dairy product is …”

“Cheese!!! I absolutely love cheese … and all types of cheese! I think that is what I am looking forward to the most when I have my own dairy animals – learning to make cheese!”

———

The winner of my “ChillOver Powder, Hearts a-Flutter” giveaway (for a free sample of my ChillOver Powder) is Jeri Hart, who left this comment in response to “Tell me about the most memorable gelatin dessert you’ve ever eaten (good or bad) …”

“Love your magazine!!!! Anyway, my favorite gelatin dessert was a wonderful layered desert that contained cherry or raspberry jello, sour cream, pineapple, gelatin and whipped cream. I was given the recipe in 1990 … I hadn’t made it in 10 years, and when my kids asked about it, I pulled it out of the old 3×5 box and it was too faded to read … Couldn’t read all ingredients or the measure amounts. Would love to try your new ChillOver Powder in your pineapple , pretzel & cream dream recipe in the Feb/March issue of MaryJanesFarm!”

Congratulations, winners!!!
