200th Post and A Giveaway

Somewhere along the way during the last couple of weeks I reached my 200th post. Unbelievable isn't it. It seems my 100th post giveaway and (Jennifer's 100 cupcake extravaganza) were only a few short months ago. Truthfully, where does the time go!?!

200 posts is a big deal and I think it calls for a celebration...a giveaway celebration!

But I'm going to do something different this time. I'm going to offer the giveaway to my followers. Soooo, if you've signed up to follow this blog, consider yourself entered. If not, there's still plenty of time to sign up as a follower.

I'm thinkin' a box of Christmas goodies would be a nice way to show my appreciation to you...my friends.

Courtney will be home from college at the end of the week so I'll have her pick a winner Friday night, that way we can have it in the mail Saturday morning bright and early. Hopefully it will reach you by Christmas! Courtney really got into the giveaway last time so I'm sure she'll be game.

Linda, oh Linda, thank you so much for the cupcake ornament! I love it so much!
I just did a post about it, you gotta read the whole story. It's a Christmas miracle!!! O.K., that may be a bit exaggerated...but still.

Lil' Sis, oh Lil' Sis, remember me? Come on, pick me! I'll do something really fun if I win the mysterious 200th post giveaway! You name it, and I'll do it.

Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!

I can't believe the time has flown by so fast. It does feel like yesterday that you did your 100 & Jenn did the 100 cupcakes..
I so wanted to see Courtney before Christmas & do something with her.. I really want to meet her. Are you going to bring her back? Lunch again?
I have something for you that I need to get out, but I haven't been anywhere near the post office. I'm a slacker friend. Sorry!

Dear Linda,
It has taken me so long after our vist with you to catch up. Hope that you are well and ready for the holiday this year. We sure had fun at Thanksgiving also! thanks so much for coaching me on the blogg and other helps. I am trying to incorporate one new thing each week...as my time is so limited with working also.
Hope that you stay in contact also through the year. would love to hear back from you sometime..
my email is..bettejo@4fast.net
will get my blogg better next year and hopefully will get mine up to date soon. You were such an encouragement to me.
Mack was very touched to spend the time with everyone also and especially enjoyed getting to know Jake alittle. He talks about how sweet he is all the time.
Happy Holidays, Bette JO

CONGRATULATIONS!
It is funny it was your 100th post that was my first blog (other than 'lene's) to ever read. She told me about what you did and then the cupcake surprise that followed.
I then knew I wanted to be part of the blogging world. Little did I know what amazing ladies and new friends I would meet along the way.
