Grow Your Blog Day and Giveaway


Today is Grow Your Blog!!! day hosted by Vicki at 2 Bags Full.  Visit Vicki's blog here and see the list of bloggers participating.  Many are new to blogging and would appreciate a visit and you are sure to "meet" some interesting and talented people.
I am late at getting my post up.  I spent the day at a Sit and Sew sponsored by Melanie of Fabric Chicks in Coupeville, WA yesterday and had a wonderful time but forgot to complete my post.  I have been blogging since March of 2010.  It has been a great adventure and I have met many wonderful people all over the world through blogging. 

Take a look around and you will learn more about me.  Briefly, I am the mother of six and grandmother to 16.  My husband is a pastor and I work full time for our local library system.  I have always been a lover of books and my job keeps me working with them five days a week.  I love to sew, garden, decorate, crochet, embroider, craft, spending time with family and friends, I could keep going.  In doing all of the things I love I want to put the Lord's will for my life first.

The blogging world has been a blessing to me and I in turn hope to bless someone else.

This is the pincushion I am giving away, just leave a comment if you want to have a chance to win.  

Hand embroidered on one side.


Pieced together on the other side.


 Giveaway ends February 14th.  I will announce the winner on the 15th.

    I'm glad to know you and your blog! I come from Vocky's party ... it's great to know people so far away from me - I live in the north of Italy - and discover many wonderful worlds, and often with very similar interests.

  19. Your pin cushion is so pretty! It gives me all kinds of ideas using vintage linens! I haven't been up to blogging much in the last 6 months. I do miss it but time is hard to come by with family things & working full time. Bloggers are special people & you are one of them!
    Blessings,
    Cindy

I liked you following you on goggle connect and Bloglovin you. hope to see you in the cyber neighborhood I am new to blogging so I don't have a lot posted because I got side tract with GYB party. Kind of felt it was important to have some one read my silly chatter. I can't remember a time I didn't dabble in something creative. I tried a little of everything. But, my new love these days is Card making I just love it.
