Over 100 Followers Giveaway!

I have been posting on my Blessings From Our Nest Blog since March of 2010.  My profile says that I have been blogging since some time in 2008 because I set this blog up as a part of a training at work.  That is where my interest in reading blogs began.  A couple of years later I decided to blog to help motivate me to get projects done and try new things.  Well, here I am seven months later and I am thoroughly enjoying blogging.  The trick is to find a balance because I could spend way too much time in the world of blogging and neglect my purpose for blogging.

I have a reason for all this rambling,  I want to have a giveaway for all my blogging friends and those who read my blog.
I have over 100 followers now and decided I should have a
"Over 100 Followers Giveaway!"

Here is my plan.
We will be visiting with our daughter and her family in Wisconsin and I will not be blogging again until October 5th.
This is what I decide to giveaway.

One of my handmade tote bags.




I am showing a couple of examples of the over 25 bags I have made like these.  The winner of the random drawing will receive a bag made special for them by me.  You will be able to tell me what color or two color combination you would like and I will pick some fabric and make it for your right away and send it out.

The only requirement is that you must leave a comment on this post by midnight October 4th.
I will pick a winner on October 5th and notify the winner.
If you don't have a blog and I don't know you personally you must leave an email address so that I can contact you.
I am so looking forward to visiting Wisconsin.
Have a great week!

  25. Hi Sherry
    Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a kind comment...
    Congratulations on 100! Blogging can take over, it is very time consuming and their is a balance one has to maintain. I have been away for several months now and missed it but life gets busy. It is fun to be back.
    Many Blessings and safe travels

  28. It's after the 4th, so it's safe to leave another comment :0)

    I am updating the number of people in the holiday ornament exchange...and how many they would like to sign up for. On your original comment you said 4 or 5. Let me know if that changes!

    I have an ornament exchange tab at the top of the blog that lists all the members.
    Hugs!!
