bldrnrpdx, email me with your shipping information so I can get your prizes out in the mail!!! (And congrats on your recent wedding!) Thanks to everyone that commented and for sharing all your stories!

Stay tuned for pictures from our beach trip!

{One Year Blogiversary GIVEAWAY!}

I can't believe it has been a whole year since I started blogging! I've realized that as I get older, the years go by soooooo fast! Sometimes I'm grateful, and sometimes I'm just trying to keep up. So,.... one year ago I was writing my first blog post, learning about my new camera, remembering Cabo and our wedding,.... oh and painting. :) I have come a long way since then. I am currently writing my 115th blog post, working more and more with my year old camera, remembering South Carolina (and still, our wedding) and continually re-arranging. :) But I am also doing things I never thought I would be if you had asked me a year ago, like being featured in a magazine, Quilting (here, here, here, here, here, here and here too!) becoming God Parents and becoming fur parents (again!).

In celebration of my blogiversary and as a thank you to my loyal readers, one lucky winner will get a cute set of handmade crochet cotton dish cloths and a copy of The Harmony Guides, Basic Crochet Stitches, 250 stitches to crochet. I have recently gotten back into crochet (like I need another hobby) and this giveaway is inspired by the most recent Craft Hope project. I made a ton of these cloths while I was out at the beach and decided that they were so adorable, everyone could use a set.

(please note that the actual cloths in the picture will be mailed out for the current Craft Hope project, but the winner will receive 3 identical cloths)

Leave a comment, let me know what you were up to a year ago, or last weekend,... or yesterday and I will be picking the winner at the end of the day, Wednesday June 30th. (My apologies, but only US readers please,.... still love all my international readers too though).

xoxo

{100th Post Giveaway Winner!}

Hi everyone! I know I said I was going to post the winner of Miss Hannah's books last night, but something came up and I just didn't get to pick a winner. I have used the Random Number Generator to determine this giveaway's winner......

Today is Holli's LUCKY DAY!!!!!! Holli Said:

"I'm revisiting The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. It's been a while since I read it and wanted to read it again before seeing the movie. It's pretty good. I actually looked for the Kristen Hannah books in our local library after reading your posts, but couldn't find any. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Congratulations on a fabulous blog."

Thanks Holli for your sweet comment and for reading my blog! Email me with your address and I will mail out your books asap!

XOXO

{100th Post GIVEAWAY!!}

I definitely can't believe this is my ONE HUNDREDTH post!!! How exciting! Thanks to all my readers for sticking around and following my crazy life :)

I stuck to the Kristin Hannah theme and read yet another of her books. True Colors is about three sisters that grow up with a grouchy mean father and have to overcome many obstacles after one of them follows their heart and goes against their father. It's another good one. Again, not as emotional as Firefly Lane, but it's a good story!

As a thank you to all my readers and a fun 100th POST GIVEAWAY, I will be sending the winner one paperback copy of each KH books I have read recently. Firefly Lane, The Magic Hour and True Colors. Just leave me a comment telling me the last book you read and how it was! I will announce the WINNER in one week! Thursday, April 29, 2010 at the end of the day.

Thanks again! I hope you keep reading! I have a few new art projects to post about soon! :)

XOXO
