Blog Anniversary Give-away

I am so thankful for all the new friends I have made this past year that I want to give a gift to one of my new friends/followers. It has been quite a surprise to me that I have 45 followers/friends.  When I started this blog I did not expect even one truthfully.   My blog anniversary was the 29th but I just did not get the gift ready on time so I am going to post today and if you are one of my friends/followers and leave a comment I will put your name in for the gift.  I will add any friend/followers name to the drawing that comments until Friday evening at 8:00 P.M. and have hubs draw a name the old fashioned way because I have not tried to learn the number picker thingy yet.  I have found a pretty journal and a box to match that I thought someone might use in their blogging area.  I go through a ton of sticky notes and other pads of paper making notes for my posts and jotting down info I want to remember from other blogger sites, so I have added some of those items to the box.  There are some pretty pink pens to write your notes with and a sticky note cover that I made quite a lot of, a few years ago, and still had a couple left.  I am also adding one of the needle/pin keepers that I have been making for the last few weeks because there are so many creative sewers that come and visit me.  And you never know, I might find something else to add before shipping out to the winner next week.

So again thanks to everyone that visits me and leaves such sweet comments.  For well wishes, prayers  and just fun conversations.  Thanks for all the new recipes that have been shared and the wonderful creative ideas I have found on so many of your sites.  It has been a fun year and I hope to enjoy this next year just as much.
Thanks for stopping by and many blessings to each of you.
