Gasp!! Can you hear me shrieking?? I got an email first thing this morning from Scribbit saying that my story Competition in the Closet won this months’ write away contest. Thank you so much to the judge at Ice Cream Diaries who chose my post as the winner, to Scribbit for hosting the monthly contest, and to Payless ShoeSource for the $50 gift certificate and a pair of their new friendship shoes!!
I’d like to extend a warm welcome to those visiting from Scribbit’s link. I am blogging anonymously as Story Girl from hot, sticky Florida. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a three-year-old girl (Little Miss Sunshine) and a year and a half old boy (T-Rex) and have been married to The Narrator for eleven years. We live 1200 miles from the rest of our family, having moved to Florida from the North five years ago. I’m a seamstress and scrapbooker, God-follower, and story lover. I have a brief intro under My Story. To get a feel for who I am, you can also check out these stories:

And now, seriously, I am off to Payless to see if they have any tap shoes, which is another story forthcoming!

Thanks, Heather! I will certainly post pictures of the shoes. I’m trying to think of something creative to do with the friendship shoes they are sending me too.
