6 MONTH BLOGIVERSARY! and a GIVEAWAY!

I can't quite believe that it has been six months since I typed my very first post...with quite a bit of trepidation, I might add!  There have been a lot of ups and downs through the past six months, but I have weathered them well and have tried hard to live the peaceful, fulfilled, creative life I want... in spite of them! 

So, in celebration I am giving away a little something...a small zippered pouch...one of my very FIRST crafty endeavors after retirement.


If you would like a chance to own it, please leave a comment with suggestions on making my blog more engaging, enriching or enjoyable, -OR- suggestions on what items I should craft for Etsy, -OR-both!  Just remember, my blogging and crafting are both dependent on a very limited, sometimes very uncooperative body, lol.

I will try to use a random number generator to pick a winner...but if I can't figure it out (remember I'm not real computer savy!) I will just put numbers in a bowl and pull one out!  I will pick the new owner on March 17th.

Have a great day!  Oh, and please keep your fingers crossed tightly for me...I'm heading off now to an MRI in the high field (read SMALL) machine.  Given my claustrophobia I am NOT looking forward to the procedure, but hopefully a good dose of Ativan will keep me from freaking out!

RESULTS:  It is 1:04 AM on  3/17/13 and the winner is comment #1.  Congratulations, Jackie!  Please email me your address and I will get this out to you right away.   Oh, and I guess I forgot to change the time on my camera when we "sprang forward"...but I don't know why the date is wrong!  I thought I had the AM and PM correct, but apparently not, lol.  Electronics and I just don't see eye to eye!  Grrrrrrrrr........

  1. I can't really think of one way you could make your blog more engaging. You have pictures and share your life with the rest of us. You do an awesome job.

    God bless.

  2. Congrats on your first six months! Here's to many more! I'm a new blogger too and it's daunting to get started but I'm enjoying it so much! Karen at Sew Darn Crafty has been so inspiring!
    Hope the MRI goes well, keep up the great work!

  3. Espero que u MRI haya sido tranquila se que puede ser difícil.
    Me suscribí a su blog porque me parece inspirador .
    Su bolsa preciosa pero no me ponga en su regalo .Los costos del envió allí donde termina América del Sur son prohibitivos.
    Dios la bendiga.
