It's My Blogiversary!

In honor of my blog anniversary... which is tomorrow, I thought I would have a little giveaway.

Although I had wanted to have the magazine, Where Women Create, my "personal shopper" was unable to locate the newest edition... so for the giveaway

there will be the latest edition of Artful Blogger, two hand towels made from French General toweling with yo yo's (inspired by Jill) out of the Rural Jardin group. I also wanted to add those 3 sweet little thread spools tied with measuring tape twill.

I also had a little logo button designed by Lauren from Designer Blogs. She is the same person who designed the Year of Schnibbles button for Sherri & me.

I have really enjoyed my first year of blogging. I love this community and am really happy to be a part of it and all the sharing of ideas and inspiration. I had been on the sidelines of blogland for a year or more before I decided to jump in. I am so glad I did.

I am really happy to have my blogging friends in my life. Seriously!

I have only met one blogger, the wonderful Miss Julie/Jaybird in person... but I really hope there will be a chance to meet more of you someday!

If you are one of those on the sidelines still - please think about joining in. You will love it! One more thing, Jodie at Everything Vintage just celebrated her blogiversary this week also and she wrote a wonderful post about starting a blog... Starting a New Blog 101.

Great inspiration over there!

So here's the scoop:

if you want to enter the giveaway...

for one entry

* leave a comment telling me your favorite experience blogging on this post
*become a follower for another chance to win (if you already are a follower just let me know), leave me a second comment to let me know.

*if you want to add my new little button to your sidebar, do that and come back and tell me and I will put your name into the giveaway 3 more times!
that's 5 chances to win total!

But that's not all!

Edited: It would be nice if you posted about the giveaway...

for one more bonus point!

oh yeah, oh yeah, I will keep the giveaway drawing open until next Thursday the 22nd, which is Earth Day, which is appropriate for me. I will announce the winner next Friday!

Does that sound okay?

Now, just so I can be on the good side of Julie and the Hexagon-a-long I wanted to show you my strips are done and my triangles are cut!

I am using Hello Betty jelly roll for this... it took some doing, but I cut into it.



Here is one possible option for the triangles.


And for my Jelly Roll Sampler group I have completed Block #3! Ok, I haven't posted these on flikr yet. I have a new computer and have had to start all over with loading programs and all of that.
Not a whole lot of progress this week with my projects and I haven't even started my Schnibbles... so, you know what my plans are going to be for the weekend!
