~ Give - Away ~

(Just a little update ( 6/4/09 ) You have until 3pm eastern time on June 5th to enter )
Happy One year anniversary
of Blogging to me :) ...I can't believe it's been one year since I found this wonderful world of blogging! What better way to celebrate it , than with all of you incredible bloggers who stop by for visits and offer your friendship and inspiration to me on a weekly basis! I feel so blessed to have found this unique venture into a place that gives me such an outlet for creativity , and to be able to share journeys with all of you too! So ...I'm hosting a give away to show my appreciation and gratitude! Thank you sooooo much , to all of you! I wish I could pop a gift into every one's mail box at once , because each and every person I've met , has somehow touched me in one way or another...

The Give Away consists of: A beautiful basket with an image of art work by Diane Knotts. A pink toile china plate ( yes, lol, I bought two of these knowing I'd be having a give away and kept one for myself ) a Cynthia's Cottage handmade Country Living image sign, Blue and white smaller china plate with red gingham bow for hanging, a sweet Vintage Apron from the 50's, and a handmade table cloth made of linen ( or table scarf ) embroidered in a fabulous red with a hint of black. Size: 33" x 33"....perfectly Vintage too :) All ready to get packaged up and delivered to the lucky winners doorstep!

The only rules for the Give -away are... that you leave a comment and tell me your favorite part about blogging. If you mention the give-away on your blog I'll enter you 2 x. If you do a post on it with a picture from this post, I'll enter you 3 x. Anyone can enter and have a chance to win all the goodies... If you don't have a blog, just be sure to leave your email address in the comment so I can contact you if you win! I'll be drawing the names from the random generator on June 5th! Good luck to everyone!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! and thanks again for all your sweet comments on my previous post! I am so blessed to be connected to such wonderful woman and such creativity! I've had a busy few weeks, ( computer crashes, work, family , and getting ready for my middle Son's graduation ) but I look so forward to stopping by your blogs and catching up!

Thank you so much for helping to make this first year one fabulously fun , creative and inspirational journey !!

Wishing you luck , and many blessings!

Much Love,

~ Cynthia ~

Wow, what a great giveaway! I would love a chance to win. I've been blogging 4 years (just celebrated) and love that it's my own little corner of the world to blab, laugh and show off my little creations. In the process, I've made a few friends and learned a lot from other fellow bloggers.

I'm finally getting around to commenting! You're getting such a great response - congrats!

I love blogging because (hmm... seems like a third grade summer vacation paper that we had to write)it gives me the chance to express myself. It's an on-line diary that I get to share with many friends (old and new). I was hooked after my post and then someone left a comment - wooo hoo!
Blogging has really extended my friends to include a great group of compassionate, loving people.

I'm going off to do a post with photo to encourage others to stop by your lovely blog.BTW - I just became a follower:)

Enjoy your day and thanks for the wonderful opportunity!

What a beautiful blog you have! That's one of the things I love best about blogging, all at once you can be directed to someone and a whole new creative and fantastic little world opens up to you. I think that is what our blogs are, our own creative outlet that expresses parts of ourselves we might not otherwise get to share. Your giveaway looks like a very generous prize! I hope I'm the lucky winner. However, I don't envy you sifting through all the comments, 240, WOW! Good for you! I will be back soon to see what other treasures your blog holds. Have a great night!

Hi Cynthia! Please enter me in this giveaway drawing! I'm crossing my fingers to win such a beautiful set of prizes, and I thank you for offering it! What I love most about blogging?... Well I'm fairly new at it, having only just started in February of this year; but it allows me to meet people who love the same things I do. I don't meet a great many crocheters and artists of all types in "real life" so to speak, but when I come to "Blogland", there are a good many of them I can visit, communicate, and share ideas with almost everyday!.. and I LOVE that!

Kimberly said...

Well have to leave comments every where for you cause I know you deserve nice things about you. I love your blog, and everything it represents all the stories, and all the beauties. It gives me ideas about certain things I like to do in my own little shabby, victorian apartment. Thank you Cyn for all that you do.
Bless You,
