Happy blogoversary to me !!!!!!!!

Yep, someone just turned 2 today !!!! It all started on january 24 th 2007. I always wanted to start a cross stitch diary (even before I knew the blogs existed). It started here. The first person who stopped to leave me a comment was Ana ( I think she never came back though ) . Esteban was a baby : here. My first finished piece on this blog was my Winnie and Lumpy. So it's been two years since I started to share my life with you. I really enjoy writing almost everyday.

Blogs are a great way to make friends online everywhere in the world. You now have became a part of my daily life. I sometimes think of you at different moments of my life. For instance, if I see something about Frank Sinatra, I think about Kendra, snow makes me think (and grin) about Meari. Disneyland? Debbi ! Lanarte? Marie! Holland? Barbara! Weight loss? Dani! Exercise? Faith Ann! Panda? tkdquintmom! and I could go on and on

So, two years. I thought: should I do a giveaway or not? I love giveaways. I think they are fun for the one who does it and the ones who enter. So yes, I'm going to do one but I'm going to open it ONLY to the persons who have commented in the past (my first giveaway not included). Why? Because I want to thank you all. Thank you for bearing with me, thank you for supporting me when I feel down, thank you for cheering me up when I need it the most, thank you for being my friend wherever you are in the world. I really appreciate each of your comments, probably more than you think. I know you all have a busy life and it makes me happy when you stop by to drop me a line. Sometimes, I think "what for? " and then I read your comments and I think my blog and life may interest you and I come back blogging about my stitching and my boring life. I really want this gift to go to someone who really appreciate my blog (and maybe me ?) If I could I'll send a gift to everybody but I can't so please, enter my giveaway if you want to win a gift chosen by me. You have until tuesday to enter !!!

Thanks for letting me know I was not the only one who got divorced without any warnings. Yvonne wrote me I should ask for some kind of support. She's right: we should ALL get stash support (our emotional schock deserves that, right? ) !!! Sandrine was sweet enough to adopt me yesterday so I'm back to 49 followers, isn't she sweet? She is going to have a Mme la Fée SAL in march so I'll give you the link to her blog soon for all the Mme la fée fans around here.

Another petal is coming to life:

Thank again for taking the time to stop by and don't forget to enter my giveaway !!!
