Holy Cow... Heartfelt Giveaway! Almost 100 Folllowers!

HOLY COW! I just realized I have almost 100 followers?! I can't believe it!!! WOW! To show my appreciation ... I am going to have a "Heartfelt Giveaway" !


I am so happy that you all have chosen to be a friend and follower of mine. You have made my short blogging life very EXCITING to say the least! At first I wasn't sure if I would even have a follower... so this has been quite a fun shocker for me! During this time of blogging I felt I have made some outstanding friendships along the way. And now it is time for me to show you how much this has meant to me!


My gift of appreciation will be two heart shaped tins. Yes... there is chocolate in one of them for all of you chocolate lovers out there. It is the small one. The large tin is a mystery tin full of treasures and I can only tell you that it will be something that every quilter would love!

Let's get started here with the outline for the "Heartfelt Giveaway!" First of all... if you are already a follower of mine as of February 14th... then you will be awarded 2 chances to win for leaving a comment. The 2 points are my way of saying "Thank You" for being a sweet friend and a follower so far.

The new friends that become followers on my side bar after this will be awarded 1 chance to win for leaving a comment. That will be my way of saying "Thanks" for becoming my new friend!

Should you decide to tell others of this "Heartfelt Giveaway" by posting about it on your blog you will be given an additional 2 chances to win. Please be sure to leave me another comment letting me know that you have done this so that you can receive your 2 additional points.

Now ... I am leaving on Wednesday for a retreat. For that reason, I will be ending the drawing on Sunday, February 21st. I will notify you of the winner on Monday, Feb 22nd.

Please make sure that I can contact you by email or by responding to your comment. If there is not a way for me to get a hold of you I will have to pick another winner.

This is going to be fun! I want to wish you all "Good Luck" and thank you again for being my friend and making my blogging world so great.
