Counting Sheep....

4/23/2015

It's a dismal day.  Raining, damp and cool.  I thought it might be fun to offer a little contest. Nothing hard, all you have to do is count the sheep in the pictures.  Who isn't an expert at counting sheep?  I do it every night!  If you see a sheep or a picture of a sheep in this blog, count it. If you get the correct number and leave a comment, I will put your name in a hat and draw for a wool related prize....a surprise that will come in the mail...so make sure you leave your email address so I can contact you for your mailing address.  

I've been collecting sheep for years.  If I see one it's sold!  They are all over the shop, peeking down on us, smiling from inside of a cabinet, they feel very comfortable surrounding by the wool of their cousins! 

I was taking a picture of a few new arrivals (above picture) and thought of having some fun.  Heather was in China and brought back the little red guy on the right.  That's a well traveled sheep!  Linda Ruth brought in the other three.  She finds these little stuffed guys at Frenchies and I have a whole collection of them.  


So count some sheep and leave a comment here on or FB and I'll do a tally at the end of the day and draw the lucky name!

I see 78 also, but three of those are duplicates, I think. What a great idea!!! Whoops, I was going to say 75, but I will stick with 78 cuz the faces are different on the ones I thought were duplicates.
