I'm very excited today because I've just reached 100 followers! Woo, hoo! I've been keeping an eye on the number for some time now. It was at 95 for quite awhile, then stayed at 99 until yesterday. A big thank you to Janet (jintyoo7) for getting that number from 99 to 100! To celebrate, I'd like to do a giveaway. I've made a card to thank you all. . . .
and I will also be giving away these fun goodies. . . .
The only thing you have to do to enter the contest, is to leave me a comment here on this post and become a follower (if you're not already.) That's it. . . . .so easy! I'll keep the drawing open until Sunday, March 20th, 11:00pm Central Time, and will draw a random winner from all the comments.
I have so many reasons to thank all of you, I don't even know where to start. Without my Flickr and blogging friends, I would have given up a long time ago. Some of you may know that I have never felt very crafty and I still, to this day, make some pretty strange and not so great cards. But with all of your encouragement and kind words, with your friendship and support, I have hung in there and absolutely LOVE this hobby! I am so very grateful for each and every one of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now let's celebrate together! Don't ya just love that number. . . .100?! :)

Congrats for so many followers and thank you for this gorgeous blog candy.
Congrats on getting your first hundred!!!! :) Your card is absolutely amazing! Love it! Thank you also for your kindness!
Belated congrats on reaching 100 followers, Barb! And the card you made is beautiful - I love the way you used that dogwood stamp! I know we tend to be our own worst critics, but you are being WAAAAAY too hard on yourself - you regularly make beautiful cards! (And there isn't a card maker out there who doesn't make a dud occasionally!) Wishing you continued happiness and success with your blogging (says the girl, guiltily, who almost never visits!) and especially with your crafting!
And congrats to lucky Ivy for winning your generous giveaway!
