October 17, 2006

was the day I started my blog and it has taken me places and to people that I could have never imagined I'd go or meet.  And, of all things, to miss my Blog Anniversary date.  So, you wonder how I missed this very important date, well I'm sure life and work and all that life brings.

Speaking of life, I am so loving Debra's new blog, A Day In The Life.  If you are missing something in your life and have doubts and a million questions about life, check out her posts. You will not leave the same once you read them, she's so full of wisdom from God and with today's hectic life we all need reminders who we serve and who our provider is and who blesses us daily with all things, the Almighty God.  Thanks Debra for listening to God and starting this new blog.

Okay, I know you are wondering, well what will I do to celebrate my Blog Anniversary.  Well I have no clue, but it has to be super super good, right, to make up for missing it.  First, let me tell you what led me down this road.  I had discovered several blogs, like Debbie Dusenbury's and Elizabeth Maxson's and I was hooked.  But I wondered what exactly is a blog and could I create one?  I am pretty good with a computer but had a lot to learn from my very first post, which you can read here.

Now, on to the celebration.  There has to be fireworks to celebrate, don't you think:

If I invite you to my Blog Anniversary Party, will you come?  You don't have to dress up unless you want to, you can come as you are.  So, you ask what are the details of the party and you want to win a prize too!!  I don't blame you, sounds good doesn't it.  Well here are the rules:

**Leave a comment on this post and if you aren't a follower here's your chance to become one.

**If you leave a comment and tell me you are a follower or that you've just signed up to be one, I'll enter your name twice.

**If you do a post on my Anniversary I'll enter your name three times (now here's upping your chance to win)!

**If you just leave me a comment, you'll at least get one chance.  Or as many as you want depending on how many comments you leave me.

Of course there will be refreshments, if you've ever attended any party I've had there's always refreshments, here's proof from the last one I had:

I know you want to know what the prize is, well I'll come up with something good and I promise you you won't want to miss out on winning it.  I'll do a post this weekend on the prize and to up your chance of throwing your name in the hat to win.

So in the mean time, tell me why you started blogging, or what has led you to blogs or are you just a lurker?  I'd really like to know.

And...I'd like to know what you collect?  Here are a few things I like:  tarnished silver, wasp nests, ironston, vintage christmas ornaments, seam binding, globes, flower frogs, trophys, chandeliars, anything with vintage flags on them, pictures of lambs or dogs with children, fish tanks, mirrors with the silver missing, cement urns, apothcary bottles, rosaries and vintage crosses, butter pats, oh the list could go on and on....
