Gentle Friends, come next Friday, May 9th, I'll be celebrating 7 years of Blogging. From that first post until today I would have never imagined that I would have kept up my ongoing blather and yakity yakking for all these years.
...... to celebrate this milestone I'm going to have a Gift-a-Way Drawing. I am still mulling over just what to include, but it will be a box of fun and surprises!!! If you'd like to be Gifted with a surprise box for my 7th Bloagaversary just leave a comment on this Post and you'll be entered. Remember if you can get mail you can win, I can send it anywhere a carrier will tote the package. I'll close the Gift-a-Way drawing at 2:00 pm PST 5/9/14, and announce the winner on Monday May 12th.
There you go sports fans, and I once again thank you for stopping by and for your ongoing kindnesses to me and my little ole Blog!!!
Take care,
edgar

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog this year, when I started hunting cross stitching blogs, I love to read about your life in San Fransisco, it very interesting to an old gal from Iowa, land-bound, cornfields and soybeans here, but no ocean, no Golden Gate bridge. I find your ability to stitch so quickly awesome, compared to my turtle-like pace. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
