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 love your blog too! I tried out your fruit pizza yesterday. I added nectarines and black cherries. It was sinfully delicious!

Oh Paulette, I'm so happy that you're blogging! I've always loved your designs, stitched several and via your blog, I discovered a fantastically witty woman with a fantastic family. Your posts always make me smile and admire you as a person - bringing up three amazingly charming girls requires a lot of wisdom and warmth!!
Smiles from the Polish girl ;-) who's spending summer in Norway.

Hello,
Just want to say...
I read your blog all the time, really enjoy it.
Butttttt, I just enjoyed a piece of your peach cobbler recipe with cream on it & it was delicious.
I am thinking about trying this recipe with black raspberries.
Keep up the good work with your blog and your design work.

Happy Blogoversary!
I have enjoyed your blog so much, and have saved all your freebies (I stitched the Christmas Emmanual, but gave it away before getting a pic - now I want to stitch it again for myself!)
You also were the inspiration for me to read the Twilight series - I just had to find out what you loved about Edward!
Again, congrats on your blogoversary. May you have many happy returns!
