WOW 5 Years... A Giveaway to Celebrate!!

I cannot believe it has been five years ago that I started my blog. Many months it was neglected, poor bloggie.  But my first post was five years ago today...
FIRST POST






In honor of my fifth birthday, I am giving away a tote bag that I made....to enter leave a comment on this post and for an extra chance become a follower (if your already a follower, you will get two entries) For an extra entry blog about it and post a comment to leave a link back to your blog...so you have 3 chances to get your name in this drawing...PLEASE tell everyone you know, I am hoping to hit 10,000 visitors, during this celebration week.






*****Disclaimer, I am not a seamstress, I did not follow a pattern for this bag I just made it as I went along. It also is not lined, I broke my last sewing machine needle as I finished the bag. The seams probably arent straight etcc...so if your a seamstress and you win, please dont tell me how much better you could have done on the bag.*********  One other thing the pin on the front is not washable, so dont wash it.  The bag probably is washable but I am not sure about the flower ribbon trim.  Ok...here is a picture of the bag...



Drawing for bag will be Wednesday January 20th


Please remember this site is the only way I will have to contact you if you win, so if your profile is private or your an annonymous commenter, you will need to check back here (or leave a clue where you know me from or your email address in your comment) Open only for US residents, cannot ship internationally...
