and the winner is...

Hello!

F. and I just got back from our mini-holiday in the Appenine Hills,

and although life in the countryside 
was really relaxing & utterly invigorating,

(and it was wonderful -as usual- to spend some time with F.'s family)

I'm very pleased to be back

so I can announce the winner of the HAPPY HOOP GIVEAWAY!

*

But before I set the drums to roll,

I want to thank ALL of you who have left a message 

for a chance at winning one of my happy hoops!

It was really sweet to read about all the things that make you happy

and at times I felt truly inspired by the fact that many of you 

mentioned how little things had made your day a happy one...

That is always such an important lesson to learn! 

Thank you!!!

*

So... that brings us to the big moment... 

and to conclude this happy event 
in a completely fair and impartial way,

I used a Random Number Generator 

who decided the winning number was....

***drumroll***

NUMBER 7

which means that the Happy Hoop 

will go to ELENA from Barcelona!

*

Congratulations Elena!!!

& 

Once again, a really BIG thank you to all of you!

*

Well,... that's it for now!

So, I wish you all a happy sunday 

and I'll be back tomorrow with some monday inspirations... 

*

And since I haven't had the time yet to download 

any of my countryside photographs,

I'll leave you with a little selection
