The big 500!

That's right, blog buddies, this is my 500th post! I've been waiting for the Thanksgiving hoopla to get over before publishing this post, so that everyone who wants to can have the opportunity to win one of 5 prizes.


Yup, 5 prizes, because 5 is my favorite number!

What are the prizes? I guess you'll have to post a comment and hope you win one so that you can find out!

Please make sure you leave a way for me to contact you in case you're a winner.

Note: Lily asked when the drawing will be. I haven't decided yet!

  4. "Oh Goshes", Diane. 500! Adjectives and exclamations abound. I always enjoy your blog, I'm amazed at your productivity considering your busy lifestyle and the demands on your time.

    You always have time for the people in your life; yet you have time to tat, if not tilt at Windmills!
    On top of that you are a reader, assistant at forums, and all around great gal.

    You know me, I love little "purses"; sign me up, throw me in the pot, toss my hat in the ring,
    I'm all in….and out of words.
