One of the main reasons I started a blog was because of my 2 main hobbies - Repurposing old/vintage jewelry, and 1/12 scale miniatures (dolls houses, etc). Then I started blogging about my "junkin" adventures, small "redos" around my home, etc., etc., and then it grew from there..
When I first started out, I thought I was the "new kid" on the block, but soon realized that many of you "bloggers" out there started during the same time frame that I did - lots of good company out there . Was there something in the water? :-)
Thanks to everyone who has visited, those who left a comment (love them - even the one that said I had to much time on my hands) :-), those who joined as a "Reader" (follower), and to those that come and go silently.
ANYWAY: When I started out , I decided to do a giveaway when I hit 50 posts. That happened so fast, it slipped past me. Does that mean I talk to much? :)
OK - I will do a giveaway when I hit 100 posts - well I let that one slip by also.
How about 100 followers - missed that one !
Anniversary - 1 yr. 11/18/09 - To much going on.
HOW ABOUT 155 POSTS !?!?
TODAY IS THE DAY ! ! ! In June(?), I did some early Christmas shopping at Cupid's Charm http://cupidscharm.blogspot.com/, and decided to giveaway one of the items I purchased from Joy. Her jewelry is absolutely beautiful!! It is a vintage postcard image necklace, designed with Swarovski crystals & pearl, and Mother of Pearl heart bead (info. on card she included with the necklace). Sorry about the blurred pictures - rain and dreary all day, so no bright natural light.
A few other things will keep it company while in route to the winner! Remember the Bradford Edition Angels I found at a yardsale last Spring - I am including a couple of them. How about the pretty bookmark I got a super deal on at HL, WS lobster shaped spreaders, Southern Recipes book I bought on a trip (never opened it so can't vouch for the recipes) :-), Wine bottle replacement cork, wine motif coasters. Need a beach motif note pad and sticky notes?
Who knows what else may take the trip also.

Wow - all of you bloggers are so generous! Just found your blog from Thoughts from over the Rainbow thru several others - anyway it's been a journey that has been wonderful.
I'm in Florida and really liked your tiered centerpiece with faux starfish - have a perfect place on the lanai for something like that.
Glenda -- I lurked a long time too, before I took the plunge! You have a wonderful give-a-way -- please count me in too! I'm getting ready to sign up to follow -- so count me twice please!
I went by the site and loved the broken china necklaces. they are gorgeous!!
Your give away if lovely....count me in.
I too took my time before becoming a blogger and now I enjoy it..... well, most of the time.
Christmas blessings to you and your family.
Wow and congrats !
I think when I do a giveaway (maybe for my 1 year - yeah, not till March...)

Hugs and Congrats !

Hi Glenda, Thanks for visiting me!! and congratulations on your milestones with your blog. I'm impressed!! I know what you mean about wondering if anyone really reads or cares. I guess we all feel like that sometimes. I would love a chance to win the charm necklace--they are so beautiful!! Also, I love what you did with the bird cage, I guess I had missed that you were a miniaturist!! Isn't it so much fun? Getting ready for our mini club party here next week and gift exchange. Have a great day!! Linda
Hi Glenda!

I am a follower. I though I had been all along, but when I clicked it asked if I wanted to follow. I dont know how I missed. You've been such a good friend to me and my blog, I am very appreciative of that. BLOGGER DO ROCK!
HUGS!
I remember being completely AMAZED when the first person -- meaning, stranger -- commented on my blog. I thought, "good grief, someone other than ME read it!"
Even my kids weren't reading it! Then Cindy of Applestone Cottage encouraged me to get in on a blog party... and wow, I got more comments. The blog world is just an amazing connective community -- and btw I have NO idea what number blog I posted today, so you are ahead of me there, at least you know!
Lovely giveaway, too!
