The big 50...opps 500


Yep, it's hard to believe that anyone could miss by that many but I did! What I mean to say is this is my 500th POST!!!!! Can you believe that? I sure can't! I remember my first posting back in August of 2008, I was hesitant, I was shy and look how far I have come.......lol ! I truly love doing this and this celebration is all about thanking all of you for checking in on me, from time to time. You have no idea how much I look forward to your jokes, teases and comments. They make my day. Thank you, everyone.

To celebrate I am having a giveaway......no surprise there, huh? The winner will get to pick out two sets of dishcloths from my etsy shop, (http://www.kpaints.etsy.com)one/ one set will be two dishcloths and the other, three. A set for you and a set for your favorite blogger or ?
All you have to do is leave me a comment about ...What changes have come about in your life because of blogging? It doesn't have to be wordy, just some small change....a new hobby, a new friend, a sore arm from channel surfing...opps wrong screen...you get the drift.
The winner will be chosen on Tuesday the 13th.

  7. Just came upon your blog so I thought I would join in on your give-away and say that I have been blogging since February 2010 and have enjoyed the humour, encouragement and all the lovely, creative photos taken by my blogging friends. It's just plain fun to hear about what's going on around the world. Makes you realize it is a small world. I am your new follower and hope you take a peak at my blog, too. Deb Ottawa, Canada

  9. Oh my, besides a lot of new friends, blogging has given me a chance to exercise my creativity and offers a wealth of ideas from others' blogs. I just love blogging!!! It is so much fun to check in on friends daily. For us in rural areas, it's like a quick visit with a neighbor (which, by the way, I don't have!)

  12. Congrats on your 500th! The changes in my life since I started blogging is how more aware of my world I am. It makes me look for the positives, instead of negatives so when I read it with others, I'd come away with a joyful feeling ..
