Winner!

I was fortunate enough to be one of the winners of 

Laura's Giveaway   over at "Rhodes Creations"! I won one of her custom made

towels. She had 5 winners for her towels and we could pick a towel of our choice.

I was especially excited, because of the spelling of my name, I can never find anything with my

name on it. My name is spelled Lecia, but pronounced Lisa. (My mom made up the spelling).

  So of course I had Laura make me a towel that says, "Lecia's Kitchen" I told her that I wanted a towel,

with a chicken on it. And at the top could she put a checken setting on a bowl.

What do you think, PERFECT!  I love it!! Thank you Laura, I love my towel. Thank you for hosting

such a wonderful giveaway! check out Laura's blog

she makes embrodered towels, aprons, handbags, blankets just to name a few.
