My 100th Post Giveaway and I'm Baaaack!


Wow, quite a title to live up to! Yes it is my 100th post! I have spent way too much time on this computer don't you think?! Actually having no computer for the last week wasn't that bad :). I did miss all of you though! I am being very cautious right now, our computer was very infected, had to be completely overhauled, thankfully I had saved all of the important things before I took it in. I can't thank little Richard enough ( I don't know if he was little but he sounded that way!). He seriously called me as I was walking into the church for my mother in law's wedding and asked me what I needed saved off of the laptop, my life IS always THAT crazy! Anyhow, it is home and I am happy to have it, I have lots of work to get caught up on. So I am not sure how much blogging I am going to be doing from now on, it really does take up precious time with my family, tonight is Mark's last night on midnights for 3 months and I usually blog while he is working at night. I can't wait to have him home to cuddle with on these chilly nights! The kids are excited too! Yes my mother in law Phyllis and Lon were married yesterday, very nice simple ceremony and a nice dinner at home with our family. Like Mark said it is the start of a new era. I will post pictures in a few days when I get to them.

So down to business, it is my 100th post and I have a few items that I am giving away as a way of saying thank you to all of you for sticking with me for this long! I know alot of people who do this on their 100th post and I thought it would be fun! My sister was making these frames and I begged her to make one for my give away, it is precious! I also had her make a matching fairy wand for the tutu that I made also. I will post my how to make a tutu later. So you know what you have to do, leave me a comment or email me to enter, I will be drawing the name on Sunday, that gives you a week to contact me. I will have my little dark haired assistant help me pull a name out of her Matilda Jane hat ( I thought it was only appropriate). All items will go to one lucky winner! PS this is my 100th post, I have kept a few private!

The giveaways are beautiful, but I am not entering since I don't have a daughter to enjoy the items. But one very lucky lady will have some beautiful items thanks to your generosity.

Did you see your little surprise?

Just came across your blog. I am getting Danielle to redesign my blog and she asked me to look at some of her work. We also have an angel from Hubei. She was adopted July 06. Your little girl is beautiful.

Stefanie said...

Ohhh!! I want to be entered :) Don't know who would get the tutu if we did win, the girls might go fist-to-cuffs over it ;)
Love the giveaway idea, I've never seen that before! Not only do we get to read your posts and see all your beautiful pics, someone actually WINS something? SWEET!

Hi Leslie,

You've inspired me...I think I am very close (198) to my 200th post. So, I think a giveaway is in order too.

These are absolutely beautiful items to give away.

I will miss you and Myah (and Dayton and Mark too) so much if you take a break. I undersatnd though. The posts don't take that much time (for me) but keeping up with others is time consuming. I am going to try to slow down too with the blogging. I just do it as my scrapbook and I don't want to not record any family event:)

Hope the wedding went well. I was thinking of you all. Glad your computer is back. I was without mine for a while and almost lost everything too a little while ago.

Okay...now pick me;)
