My 100th Post . . . and a give~away for you

This is actually my 102nd post but I had too much to share after being away for so long it took several posts to get to this point!

First of all, thank you so much for taking any little time at all to look at my blog, to see what I've made or said ~ you all are the sweetest!

You support each other, encourage each other, lift each other up in prayer, cheer each other on and are truly concerned about the goings on in the lives of your fellow bloggers ~ I feel honored to be among you and am so thankful for all your comments that you leave me!

I love to check your blogs to see what you're doing and maybe I'll read something that will make me smile, bring a tear to my eye or even make me get up and create something ~ I thank you for that.

Well, here's to another 100!!!


And for my little give-away . . . I've gathered some goodies I hope you will like. I'll list them so you'll have an idea:

~ Old sheet music

~ Pages from old books, some french

~ Color copies of my most favorite postcards and images

~ Color copies of some of the sweetest old photographs

~ Aged tags for decorating

~ Several old poker chips to make into something cool

~ Original old bingo cards & number thingies

~ An old wooden thread spool

plus . . . I'll be adding to it during the week for added surprises!!


Just leave a comment on this post and I'll draw a name next Sunday evening, July 15th!

Dawn - these are amazing. I have my fingers crossed about htis drawing. I wanted to come by the shop on Saturday, but the ball schedule would not allow it. Next trip though. I cannot wait to visit with you guys.

If I won these, they would be included in a project for a friends birthday.

Hope you had a great vacation.

Country Cottage Chic said...

What a lot of lovely things!
I'm also a sucker for paper "things" & often buy them up at auction simply because nobody else wants them & they'd get thrown away. I donated a lot of local interest things to our little museum for their displays.

Lena said...

I work with ATCs, altered books, and scrapbooks, so needless to say I adore papers of any kind :)
