New Year, #100, and a Giveaway!

2010... wow!  New Year,  New Decade.  And, this is my 100th post!  I can't believe that I have kept this up for this long.  I think it is just because I am constantly inspired by the whole bloggy-verse.  I have had such a great time getting to know many of you.  So, to celebrate my 100th post, I want to do a little giveaway.  And, to make me feel less guilty, I am going to giveaway 2 prizes.  I picked the 2 with the most character for you guys.  So here they are:



A Fulton Seamless Grain Sack pillow




A Cincinnati Seamless Grain Sack pillow




Here is the back of the Cincinnati... how is that for character?

So,  here is how I would like you to enter:

*leave me a comment and tell me that you want to win.  You don't have to be a follower, but if you become one (or are one already) just let me know and I will put your name in twice.  If you don't have a blog, no problem... just put your email in the comment so I can get in touch with you.

*If you blog about it or Tweet, I will put your name in 3 times... did I ever mention that I Tweet?  Only occasionally though.... I can't ever seem to remember to do it.

I will draw the winner next Wednesday to give everyone time to enter.

And, I will be back soon to discuss resolutions and projects and changes.

Happy New Year and thank you for reading!   I really, truly appreciate it!

  1. Those pillows are great!!! I really like the 1st one the best! I have several places where it could go! I make pillows (among other things) out of recycled coffee bean bags, I love that vintage look! I am also a follower!
