I'm so pleased that in less than two months I've 50 people following my blog ... and, here I was afraid that nobody would ever read anything I was interested in writing or seeing photos of things I wanted to share with others!
So, in honor of my 50th 'follower,' I'm having a giveaway! That's right folks - there really is such thing as a free lunch! - or free paper arts, anyway!
I realize that I have Beverly's Pink Saturdays to thank for so many of you finding me, so I decided that it would be entirely appropriate to offer one of my featured Pink Saturday items as my giveaway.
So, I'm going to send off this vintage style tussie-mussie/display cone to the lucky (or I hope they think they're lucky) winner of the ubiquitous random generator.
All I ask is that you post the giveaway on your blog and link back to me, and leave a message here. If you don't have a blog, I like you, too - so just write something that will make me forgive you for not being a blogger. :-)
So, there you have it! My first every blog giveaway! The winner will be chosen March 10th (one week from today). I'm not going to set a certain time, so I won't worry about being late or early. It will be sometime after I awake on Tuesday and before I retire!
And, most importantly, thank you all so much for your interest, your inspiration, your encouragement, and for sharing your work with the rest of us!

Tristan, I came over to your blog from my friend Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. I saw your pink the first time you joined Pink Saturday. I was intrigued by your art work ability and today I tuned in to your U-tube quilt show. Beautiful work and it is nice to meet you.
I would be so pleased to be entered in your give-a-way. I'll be thrilled to have something you created. I hope I am lucky.
See you again soon...Jeanne
I won't be so gauche as to beg, sweetpea; I'm just telling you to please put my name in the proverbial hat for the drawing and wish me luck, honey. THOSE are the colors I love - flamboyant pinks, greens, fuchsia and just GORGEOUS!!!
xoxo,
Connie

Congrats on your 50th follower. I'm doing a giveaway for a similar reason soon. Love the tussie-mussie (although I had forgotten what that word meant until I came over from Beverly's to take a look :O). Changing subjects, my husband is from Woodbridge (not one of the rich folks though). His sister use to work at Yale.

I do offer my congratulations, as well, for your 50 followers....and know well of why they return.
Hope your weekend is a beautiful one.
Love the Tussie Mussie, and the music.
