Today marks the first anniversary of my blog here at Typepad, and I want to let each of you know how much fun I've had getting to know you, and how I've enjoyed every one of your comments. It's so nice to know I'm not talking to myself (for a change), and I want you to know how much I appreciate each of you. I also thank those of you who simply read my ramblings and choose not to comment - I'm so happy you take the time to visit me, and I hope you continue to do so.
To celebrate my blogiversary, I'm inviting you all to leave a comment for me (or email me if you can't leave a comment) under this post, and you'll be entered into a drawing to win 5 Plum Street Samplers charts of your choosing. I'll randomly select one winner tomorrow (Monday), and will announce it then. If no one comments, I'll just pay my kids to tell me that they read my blog faithfully, and they can rummage through the Plum Street charts to their hearts' content.
If you'd like your name entered twice, simply post about this drawing on your blog, and email me with your blog's url. The only rules are that they have to be charts that have already been released, and you must be at least 1 year old to win. :)
Thank you again, and enjoy this freebie:
I just want to say how much I like reading your blog & also thanks for the lovely freebie charts. I have just printed the new one as it's ideal for a small gift for my friends.

Great chart! I'm going to stitch it right away. Thanks.
I never win (because I never play) but in this case, I just can't resist. Enter me twice, I'll write a message on my blog. No three times: I'll leave a message on my French blog too.
Oh, and may be I'll create a couple of blogs this afternoon too... Lol!
Longue vie à Plum Street Samplers! (could be translated by God Bless Plum Street Samplers).
Hugs,
Lili

Hi Paulette. Though I'm fairly new around here I must say I do love your blog and totally understand what you mean about not feeling like you're talking to yourself. And I too am not much of a winner when it comes to drawings but this week I've entered a couple hoping it's my turn to get lucky. If not, I'm still lucky enough to have my computer to see who does get lucky and all the lovely designs and stitches.
Thanks for sharing,
Tammy
