I Do Believe in Faeries, I Do, I Do

There have been many sightings of the Fairy Hobmother around blogland.  She's been flitting around granting wishes here, there, and everywhere.  The thing about fairy tales is that they're so hard to believe, but I'm here to tell you that this one is true.

The Fairy Hobmother had visited Debbie over at Debbiedoos Blogging and Blabbing.  I had left a wish in the comments for an upturn in the economy.  Her magic wand wasn't big enough for that kind of a wish, but she was able to *poof* me an Amazon gift card!  How amazing is that.

If you'd like a chance to have the Fairy Hobmother stop by, just share a wish in my comments.

Giveaway Winner!

Thanks everyone for entering the giveaway!  I wanted to make this a truly random choice so I went to Random.org and used their Integer Generator, and it spit out a winner.

Who says the first comment never wins?

Congratulations Carrie!  Let me know what word or name you'd like me to create out of Picture Letters.

Thanks for poppin in and don't forget to come back Thursday for my monthly Before Blogging Party.  Learn more about that here.  I'll be back later today with a yummy cocktail recipe(it would be unseemly to pour it before noon.)

My First Giveaway

My house is pretty much buried under laundry as I try to recover from last week's vacation and the weather has suddenly turned steamy leading to lots of pool use and 3 million towels left in clumps all over both the outside and inside of the house.

You can imagine my giddy surprise when I finally sat down last night and discovered that I had hit the 200 mark for followers!  Super exciting.  I appreciate each and every reader this blog has, and I love reading the comments that you leave for me.  To celebrate this milestone, I'd like to host a giveaway.  I spent all night thinking about what I could offer up, and remembered how many of you really enjoyed my "Family" Picture Letter Art.

So I'm offering up a custom piece of Picture Letter Art + a surprise gift.  The winner will be able to pick any word or name, and I'll create the artwork for them.  This is a follower milestone giveaway so  it's open to followers, old or new.  Just leave a comment to be entered.

For a second entry, post about this giveaway, and let me know that you did in a comment.  This giveaway will be open til midnight on the 18th.
