2,000th Post Giveaway

I've finally arrived at my 2,000th posts.  When I began blogging in 2012 I didn't realize I'd still be blogging 10 years later, and I definitely didn't think about a milestone of 2,000 posts.

It often seems like blogging has run its course in today's busy society with newer and quicker  communication platforms replacing it.  Like several other blogging friends, I've been tempted to stop, but it's become a journal of sorts and an invaluable reference resource while working on Shutterfly albums, etc.  I've referred back to it many times.

I think I have a couple of followers who have been with me from the beginning and one in particular has always been so faithful leaving a comment [yes, that's you, Joy!].  

I have met many wonderful people through my blog, and that is another good reason to keep writing.  So if you've been with me a long time or a little while, you have my heartfelt gratitude. Your support is greatly appreciated.

As I approached this 2,000th post I began thinking about a meaningful giveaway that would be connected to my blog, and I came up with the idea of a writing or stationery basket.

So here's what's in the basket...  A Hallmark desk set [tablet, pen, and notecards]

A magnetic refrigerator notepad and a teapot rubber stamp and ink pad.  Back in the day, craft stores had an abundance of tea-themed stamps, but the selection today is almost nil, so I went online and ordered one from an Etsy vendor.

And lastly, I went through all my posts and selected a few pictures to have made into blank notecards.  The basket will contain 8 notecards and envelopes.

To enter the giveaway leave a comment sometime between now and Friday, April 1st [no joke!]  ;-)  Names will be put in a basket and I'll draw a winner on Saturday and post it on my blog when I get home from work.  Regrettably, due to the high cost of postage this giveaway is limited to US residents only.  Good luck!
