Happy Blogoversary to Me!!!

Two years already??? Where has the time gone? I've posted a little over 180 posts in those 2 years, so I'm averaging a post every 4 days. Not too shabby. And I've met so many nice people and seen so many beautifully stitched and finished projects. Ya know, I don't have Facebook or Myspace pages, and don't really care to...but I don't know if it would be the same without my cross-stitch blogging friends. Thanks for a great 2 years.


Now, what would a Blogoversary be without a giveaway? Well, I don't know what. So, I'm having one...or shall we say, two?
The first one occurred to me because I found the pattern in Friendship Crossing, the LNS in Corvallis, OR. (This was the first LNS I ever came across.) Remembering how I liked the idea of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pattern, I am also offering up this pattern as a traveling pattern. It is Waxing Moon "My Needle and My Floss". I ask whomever gets this to stitch it, sign it, and then offer it up to other stitchers. (I don't remember who should get the credit for this idea, but if I did, I would credit them. Now if you wind up winning this pattern, I am also including a handmade beaded scissor fob in colors of your choosing.
The second giveaway is another beaded scissor fob in colors of your choosing. That way, if you don't want the pattern, you can at least enter into the drawing for a fob.
So, to enter, please leave a comment on this post between now and midnight, February 14, 2009. Please specify which drawing you're entering, leave me a way to contact you, and specify your favorite colors.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Stitching!!

Happy blogoversary to you!!! I will have mine first one in November - and while I do have a facebook, I have found keeping a blog, reading other blogs and writing comments has fullfilled me more than facebook. It means so much more to find others who have a passion for needlework and to feel like you are a part of their lives as well.
Please enter me in the 2 drawings (but I love the one with the pattern as I would love to stitch and then offer it up next November).

I love blues!

Happy blogaversary to you and us, Sonda!! Please do enter my name in your drawing for the chart and fob - I'm a blue girl. :)

Annemarie said...

Hi Sonda,
Would you believe I only just found your blog? Happy belated Blogoversary to you!
How lovely that you're doing another Sisterhood. The first one was started by Harmien, by the way, but I noticed she kept schtum about it in her comment :o)
Could you enter my name in the drawing for the travelling pattern? Thanks!!

Crazee4books said...

Hi Sonda,

Happy Blogoversary!! It's been
wonderful getting to know you
through your blog during the
past year that I've been visiting.

I'll pass on the pattern give
away for the moment since I've
got four projects on the go at
the moment and wouldn't be able
to focus on another. But I'll
add my name to the draw for the
second fob please. Colour
choice if I won would be pinks
and blues please. Leave me a
comment on my blog if I win.

By the way, your finish of My
Needle and My Floss, They
Comfort Me is lovely. The
saying on this design is oh so
true. Stitching and reading
both relax me and ease stress.

The Lizzie Kate Be Mine Valentine
is another pretty and fun finish.
I think I have this one in my
stash too. Should get it out and
stitch it in honour of the day.

I guess you're really hitting the
books hard these days. Don't envy
you having to learn all those
drugs, their names and doses etc.
It would fry my brain big time to
attempt anything like that.

Cheers!!

Happy bolgoversary Sonda! (even if I am too late to enter your drawing) I love the idea of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pattern"

Kathy said...

Congrats on your Blogoversary. Two years that is good. I will have 2 years in later in the spring. Stitching friends are the best. Who needs MySpace or Facebook.

Hope school is going well for you.
