Thanks A Million...Give Away

Blogging has been very special to me for many reasons, but the most important reason is all the wonderful people I've met over the past 2 years. No matter how big your blog is or how many followers you have, sharing ideas and being inspired by one another is the most important thing.

I love when people visit my blog, whether they leave a comment or not. I have a gadget on my blog that counts each and every page visit...and each one is special!

So special, that last night I had my one MILLIONTH visit!! HOO WOO. To celebrate, I wanted to have a little give away.

Leave a comment on this post to enter to win this 24 inch Sterling Silver necklace. I thought that jewelry might be universal to so many people. The necklace is so much prettier in person. Very soft and slinky. It was also purchased in the Sew Many Ways style...a great big BARGAIN! This is an $80.00 necklace that I purchased for $10.00. LOVE IT!!




Here is a close up next to a dime, so you can get a feel for the size.



Thanks a "Million" again for all your comments, kind words and your million visits...they are all truly heart felt.
