blogiversary...

well it all began a year ago on a hot and sultry Monday evening in June. A year on and it is now a hot and sultry Tuesday evening and the adventure continues. Who would have thought I would stick at something for this long? Not me I am not good at sticking with things.

I haven't posted as much as I thought I would do in those initial heady days of my blogging honeymoon. I certainly read more blogs now than I did back then and I believe I have gained a lot of confidence in my sewing and crafting exploits thanks to the support and advice these blogs offer. But hey that's enough of that, I don't want this to get all preachy or award ceremony acceptance speech-like.

I do plan to archive this year though and I am thinking a Blurb book could be the way to go. It is great you can just suck your blog in and then it can be printed in either paper or hardback formats. However, I would like to play around with the formatting a bit and I need to find a way of including the comments. At the moment they don't show up on the pages and heck the comments are as important as the actual post so they need to be there.

So to mark this occasion I thought I would offer up a little prize to the person whose name is drawn out of a receptical to be decided upon. But what could be the prize? How about a bag similar to this one.I made it for a friend of my son. It is her birthday today and the gift has been given so I am safe to show pictures now. The lining is gorgeously green and spotty and has a nice large pocket inside.I also made a couple of complimenting badges, just for good measure.
So how to enter. I thought of doing just names in the hat but have now decided to add a little element of contest so how about a question? So why not email me or leave a comment answering the question .... how many legs does Jack have? I'll put all the correct answers in the proverbial hat and pull out a winner on Monday.

Here's to another year!
