1000th Post Giveaway!
Yes, that's right, today's post is my 1000th post! In honor of such a milestone and as a thank you to all of you who have been faithfully reading along, commenting and be so helpful, I will be having a drawing for a giveaway. I thought for quite a while about what to give away, but not everything I thought of would suit a variety of tastes. Not everyone likes vintage patterns or artsy-fartsy stuff, so the next best thing to give away would be something that is one-size-fits-all and is sure to please everyone: fabric!
Not just any old fabric, but gorgeous fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics. I will be giving away a $50.00 gift certificate to be used at Gorgeous Fabrics so that the lucky winner can pick out whatever makes them happy!

Parting Shot: Huh? Did I plant this? I can't even remember. My son had tomatoes and peppers growing in this bed last summer, so I know we didn't have lilies. I think my daughter planted this one and the other two just like it. Which will be just fine, because once they are done blooming, the sunflowers planned for this spot will be tall and blooming, too.

Congratulations and thank you for continuing to inspire and educate me. Your generosity is amazing, but not really when I consider the wealth of knowledge you've shared with all of us. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Wow! That's impressive. Perhaps you can share w/ us when you started. I've been reading your blog for several months now and have thoroughly enjoyed it! Plus found some help via the tutorials.
Congratulations, 1000 posts is a lot. Just looked back to your first posts, how your children have grown! And from the start you've shared so much information. The giveaway is very generous, while you've already been so generous sharing your knowledge and experience over the years. A big thank you for that.

I think a critter planted that lily, too. We have gophers that love to steal daffodil bulbs, but they don't like to eat them, so there are beautifu; daffodils in very odd places!
Enter me in your wonderful give away, please! Love your blog, but usually lurk. I check it every day.
Becky McKee

I always enjoy reading your posts; they are so inspirational. It's great to see a project proceed step-by-step and how you solve the problems you encounter along the way.
With all the activities that you do, it's amazing that you find time to blog at all, much less your 1000th! :-)

Congratulations on reaching this milestone. I've gotta admit envy - I don't know how you keep up the blogging/sewing/being-a-mom/while-doing-everything-else-you-do racket. Very inspiring (though it makes me jealous - haha). Keep up the great multi-tasking!
How generous! And congratulations on hitting 1000 posts!
