Today is a day for major Celebration, why you ask . . . Well a few reasons :)
First, we take pictures of our house today to put on the market. And I am actually ready for pictures!! It only took all day Saturday to get to this point :) I don't want to paint again any time soon, I opened over 20 gallons of paint to touch up every inch of our house :) (EDIT . . to clarify, I did not paint 20 gallons worth of space, I just had to open that many gallons to touch up all the painting that I did 2 years ago :)
Second, I reached a major milestone in a huge WIP yesterday!! I will show pictures on Friday as it is not quite ready yet. How is that for cryptic :)
And lastly, and I saved the best for last, We reached 500 followers at Happy Quilting!!! Oh my goodness, I am so excited!!!! I am hoping to get something big in the works over the next few weeks to properly celebrate this massive milestone, but, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate in the meantime :)
And what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway :) What's up for grabs?? How about some amazing Fat Quarters from Riley Blake's new collection Penny Lane!!! I just happen to be in the process of whipping up a little something for Riley Blake's Cutting Corners College, (more on that to come) and I am so excited to share some of this lines amazing goodness!!
So How Do You Enter . . . .
Be a Follower (this is a follower celebration after all) and Leave a Comment!!! That's it . . .Simple Right :)
If you are not a follower already no worries, just simply click on the Follow button either on the left hand column of the blog or on the navigation bar at the top of the blog. After that just leave a comment!!
One Entry per person, Please :) You are welcome to Blog or Twitter about this giveaway, Like me on Facebook, Add me to your Blogroll, ect, ect. ect. It won't get you an extra entry but it will make you and especially me, Very Happy :)
I will end the giveaway on the evening of March 16th and announce a winner March 17th :)
Well that just about covers it - Good Luck and Happy Quilting!!
Congratulations on reaching 500! So glad that I am one of them :-)
