It’s time to meet February’s winner of my First Friday Freebie.
March is already with us and it did come in like a lamb. That’s the day I finally got to connect with the winner and get the freebie to its destination. Then, as if it couldn’t bear the thought of wasting time, the month turned on us like a lion and today we had snow and a 30 MPH wind. Smuffy and I had places to be and things to do and we are still trying to get warm after being out in it!
Meeting February’s winner will warm your heart –

Congratulations to Liz from Boonville, Missouri.
Liz is pictured here with the “LOVE” home décor sign and as you can see if you look closely at the photo, one of her loves is the Kansas City Chiefs.
As an email subscriber, Liz gets an email when the First Friday Freebie is released. She then commented as directed in the freebie post at midweststoryteller.com
I require this tiny bit of effort each month in order to prevent spam and make sure you’re on your toes and paying attention.
I send freebies anywhere in the continental U. S., so don’t think you’re too far away to enter.
If you’d like to see other past winners and their gifts check it out here on my Freebies! page.

If you’ve don’t receive a confirmation email, please email me at barb@midweststoryteller.com – it seems that from time to time, a subscription will get “stuck”.

What are your plans for March? Are you curled up with your seed catalogs? Are you decorating your home with splashes of spring pastels. Are you getting out on pleasant days for long walks? Somehow, I find even indoor things seem easier when the weather warms a bit. Getting out for that morning trip to the gym doesn’t seem so daunting these days.
