Today's the day!

According to the counter on my blog - Today is THE Day!  My blog is 2 years old today!

Also, this is my 300th POST - does that mean I am very chatty - 300 posts in two years?

Lastly, I have over 300 FOLLOWERS!  (319 to be exact, hello to all my new followers - lovely to have you visit).

What does all this mean?  Now, you all know what it means?   It means it is ......


GIVEAWAY TIME!    HIP HIP HOORAY!


But first I must say a BIG THANK YOU  to all of you, my lovely bloggy friends.  You have enriched my life so much in so many ways, so that I feel that I have been blessed since the day I started blogging.  Bless you all.

Now, onto the GIVEAWAY:

This is the start of what you can win.....


A Love Heart tin to keep your precious little bits and pieces, plus a lovely wooden tag which I bought from Marly at Samplers and Santas and a cute little kitty cat button.


A sweet little pussy cat stitched by me - this will be finished by the time this Giveaway is sent but I haven't decided quite how I want to finish it yet.


 A Penguin Books journal to write your stitchy thoughts in:


... and another journal, a recipe journal to write your fabulous recipes in:



.... and a fabulous book mark. 



This book mark is really clever, see how it works on my book (which is not part of the giveaway).  It stays firmly in place and acts like it is part of the book.




Now, I am going to keep this Giveaway open for a couple of weeks and over that time, I will add to it.  I have some fabbie and some patterns I want to add but I don't have any photos of them yet.  So, keep coming back to check out what I add.

Now,  here are the "rules":

  1. Be a follower - old or new = one entry.
  2. Post about it on your blog (and please come back and tell me about it) = one more entry.
  3. Please be clear that you wish to enter in the draw (I am happy for you to comment and not enter. but please make that clear to me - I can be a bit dense sometimes, so please make it easy for me!)
  4. Have fun!
  5. Closes around the 2nd July.
hugs, 

P.S. Don't forget to enter in the draw to be the next person to stitch a Travelling Pattern, you can read all about it and enter on this post here.

Congrats on the Blogaversary! And the 300th post and over 300 followers too. I find all my milestones come at once too.

You've certainly are chatty, I'd only done about 200 posts at my 2nd blogaversary, it's all good stuff though.

I'd love to be in with a chance to win the prize, such a cute little kitty, I wonder where I've seen it before? LOL. That one would go with my "basket of stuff from other people" themed display, the one where I put everything properly and neatly finished.

Congrats on 2 years and 300 followers! I am new to the blogverse and enjoy looking at everyones lovely projects. It has inspired me to start my own blog and pick up some UFO's. My blog is still new and I don't have any followers yet but I am going to post a link to your blog because I know I'll have some soon (must think positive)

You picked such great things as gifts. The box is lovely. I would very much like to be considered for your drawing. I am adding a link to your blog on my page as soon as I get done typing. Congrats once again.

Please feel free to check out my blog http://whovianstitcher.blogspot.com/ Its small yet but I plan on adding much more this weekend.
