What a contrast to last week when I was having a major meltdown.
We had a great weekend. Hollis and Paul came home on Friday and
took Lehmer and I out to dinner. It was a very unnecessary thing
for them to do, but they insisted on thanking us for helping them get
their home ready to sell and for babysitting their dog, Zeus while
the house is on the market. We didn't do anything special -
just what most parents do to help their kids.

We had a delicious dinner at a new restaurant called The Bavarian
Chef. This restaurant has been in business for years in another town.
Thankfully, for Fredericksburg, they decided to open here. Oh, my, what
a meal. I have never seen so much food. About half of everyones'
meal came home in doggy bags. On Saturday Hollis hosted a jewelry party at my house. We had a
great turnout and had a really nice time. Lots of goodies to eat and
drink. The jewelry was stunning from a company called Stella & Dot.
Business wise, Hollis helped me set up an Etsy shop and I got that
infamous Paypal account straightened out. I had a great response to
my "Boo Tyme" Project Pack. All gone - thank you very much!!
Today I reached 100 "followers", in fact, I think I am at 102. I am
so excited and grateful that so many stitchers have found me and
want to be a "follower". I am delighted to do my first "give away". Just
leave a comment on this entry and I will randomly pick a winner
on Thursday evening.

Here is a sneak peak of my 2010 Sampler Ornament -
"Many Happy Stitches"

Hey Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad things have smoothed out for you. Sometimes you just have to walk away from something that isn't going right and come back to it the next day.
I hope the rest of your week is great

ReplyDeleteI don't "follow" blogs through blogger, instead I just add them to my rss reader (I use Google Reader), so your blog shows up there when you update. :) What I'm saying is that who knows how many more than 102 people you have following who are not followers through Blogger. :D
Glad to hear that you had a good weekend Sandra. The good times certainly DO outweigh the bad! I would love to be included in your giveaway (thank you) Your "sneak peek" looks great, can't wait to add it to my collection!

I'm glad this week is going better for you. I've just finished stitching your little Boo freebie offered last week and I love it! The sneak peek of your new ornament looks very tempting too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm like Berit, I don't use Blogger follower (because I blog using WordPress), so I "follow" blogs using Google Reader, as I'm sure many others do. You will definitely have many more than 102 followers if you take both into account :) I'd love to be entered into your giveaway please!
