When I first started blogging, I can remember being beside myself with joy when I had my very first follower!! Wow! Someone actually took the time to read what I wrote and liked it!! Gradually, that list continued to grow and each time someone joined, I still had that same feeling of unbelief and wonder!!
Now as I have actually reached 203 followers, it is time again to say Thank You, and as a way of showing my appreciation for all your sweet comments, encouraging words and interest in my little world, I would like to share one of my handmade creations with one of you!! It will be a Velvet Pear Pinkeep, made using a wonderful Stacy Nash pattern!
The Pear is made using some lovely vintage cotton velvet, and has been firmly mounted to a distressed glass candlestick. I have featherstitched all three sides, and have added a variety of pins and a small emery strawberry as well! It is topped with a brown wool stem and will be signed and dated by me!
In order to participate for ONE chance please do BOTH of the following:

I will close it on Aug. 16th at 10pm Pacific time and will announce the winner on the 17th! I wish each of you the best of luck and thank you for entering!!

I have to honestly say that when I first started this blogging adventure, I NEVER would have expected to reach this milestone and am STILL amazed every day with your interest and support!! I so wish I could be a better blogger, posting more and always having wonderful and interesting things to say and to share, but alas, I have to just be content with BEING ME, and after all, that is WHO you are following, right?
I wish I could give each one of you a gift, but since that is not possible, please know that I am sending you my Heartfelt Thanks!! All of you are important, and make blogging so meaningful…from the newest ones…a BIG WELCOME, to the earliest ones….my humblest gratitude!
Wishing you a Joyous Day, my friends~~
