Happy Easter and We Have a Winner

Happy Easter! It is a lovely, sunshiny day here in southern California! I hope you have all had a lovely day so far! Here is a lovely Easter Graphic I have gotten from some lovely blogger somewhere and if you can refresh my memory as to where feel free to do so! I've been enjoying a small amount of dark chocolate and bunny shaped goodies. How has your Easter been? Later I'm going to a sweet friend's for Easter dinner!



Well the moment has come to reveal the winner to the blog giveaway to the "Learn to Tat" book, shuttle and 10 yards of size 10 Manuela green thread!
I went to Random.org and I was given #113 below~ out of 149 comments!
So after much contorting of one's head and body to figure out just who was comment # 113 because it was counted forwards and backward not once, not twice but thrice! It was concluded that Crazy Mom Tats was comment #113! Here is comment #113 below:


So, congratulations to Crazy Mom Tats! Thank you to all 149 comments that came to wish me a happy 2nd blogoversary! It was fun celebrating with you and most of all it is fun celebrating tatting with you and hearing what all of you had to say! Some of you shared some stories about seeing tatting for the first time or what tatting means to you. Others having been tatting for a long time! Some of you have this book already and others want this book so badly! Be sure to stop by her blog and congratulate her! Crazy Mom, I believe you may already have my comment on your blog by now so be sure to send me your contact information and I'll send your your goodies! :)
Also Happy Easter! This is a season of hope and renewal and I am grateful that my Redeemer lives! What a beautiful time of year! Be sure to say hello! Comments are always welcome here at TattingChic

Happy 2nd Blogoversary to Me (and You!)

They say it's your blogoversary! It's my blogoversary too now!

Oh, it's just my blogoversary...unless it just so happens that it's yours too! BUT it doesn't mean that we can't all celebrate together now can we? See I have really enjoyed my two very happy years of blogging. I've made so many wonderful friends down the road!

Now, just because I haven't been blogging the past several weeks doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking about ya'll!!! I've been thinking about you all so much that I've decided that I will have a give away again this blogoversary! This year I am giving away a "Learn To Tat" book (pictured below)! It will include a plastic shuttle and about 10 yards of size 10 green Manuela brand thread from the same ball of thread from last year as well! It's a pretty big ball of thread so there's plenty to go around not to worry!

Rules for this giveaway are that you need to have a blog in order to enter and that you need to comment on this blog post by next Sunday at Noon! So I'm closing the giveaway next Sunday... Yes. I'm picking the winner on Easter Sunday! If you don't comment on this blog post you won't be entered. If you don't have a blog (that I can access from your comment) you won't be entered. You need to have both a blog and have a comment on this blog post in ordered to be entered. Why do I have that rule? I am an online safety girl. I don't want you leaving your email on the comments for any spammer to see! Don't do it! Just comment? Have a blog! We'll figure out a way to communicate if you win! I just need to be able to leave a comment on your blog if you win...get it??? YAY!

I'm seeing an awful lot of "Oh, I've been tatting a while so I don't need this book" or "I have this book so I don't need it". Let me just say, I've been tatting for 30 years and I'm not that bad at that and I would totally tat some patterns out of this book! The fact that I keep giving this book away doesn't mean I don't want it! Also, just because you already have this book does it mean that you don't know someone that couldn't use it? Say, someone that is learning or someone that wants to learn??? Hmmmm???? Maybe??? I'd like to encourage some of you to rethink this! :) Just a thought!

You can spread the news on your blog if you want to about the giveaway and it will give you another chance to win just leave another comment that you did that. That would be awesome. See, I'm not psychic (despite the rumors) so if you do put a blog post on your blog and you don't come back and comment and let me know I won't know to put an extra entry in. Now, those of you that like to come back and comment a million times thinking that I won't catch on to you ...I'm on to you...hee hee hee!

Anyway! Have fun! It's my blogoversary! Happy Easter! Tell your friends! It's a free tatting giveaway! Free stuff! Who doesn't want to share the tatting love? It's like a internet tatting hug!
Yes, and this is open to my international blogging friends.

It's my way of saying thank you so much for the friendships over the years! It doesn't matter if you've come around often or not... come on over and get to know me and my tatting!
Huggles,
♥

XOXO
