to everyone that commented on my OWOH giveaway, but especially for those who showed concern for my health.
I got my diagnosis on January 30th and have been processsing the fact that I do have Fibromyalgia. I did the routine blood work and x-rays to rule out anything else, but from what I know about the condition from friends who have it, it wasn't too much of a surprise. It is nice to know that I'm not as crazy as I was feeling. Now I can get the help I need and move on with my life and hopefully get back into creating my art on a somewhat more regular basis. The last 6+ months have been hard with the job change and the fibro flareups becoming more frequent and intense, but I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
Anyway, thank you all for making this year's event an amazing one for me. I never thought I would receive so many comments on my giveaway, especially since I hadn't even made my prize yet. One journal is completed, but I haven't been able to take pictures of it yet because my camera is on the fritz and I have yet to make a second one, so the 2nd and possibly third prizes will be something that I already made and most likely something that you've seen in my journal.
Thanks to all 400 of you wonderful people!!

Best of luck to you. How difficult, but how good to finally know. Sending positive thoughts and a prayer your way.
My best wishes to you. It is good that you finally have a diagnosis. The not knowing can be just as bad as the pain sometimes. I hope your treatments lead you to a positive and pain-free life of art and beauty.
I hope everything goes better for you! I wanted to let you know you won the "Things to Do Pack" on my OWOH giveaway. Please let me know where to send it as soon as you can.
