Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbey!–And a Give Away

 

Last night I squealed like a little girly, “202 Followers”! My hubby said, “Guess I’m going to have to take you to Red Lobster again.”

That was the reward he told me he would give me when I reached 100 followers.

This was back a few months ago when I first started visiting other blogs and linking up.

My actual first link up was with Marty at “A Stroll thru Life”.  It was a bit comical.  Really didn’t know what I was doing. Boy have things changed! lol!

I really love the coconut shrimp at Red Lobster.  Love the crab and lobster too.   What’s a girl to do?  It’s way too hard to choose  Usually I order the shrimp, hubby orders crab and we share.  That way we get the best of two worlds.

Now to some, 200 followers is a mere drop in the bucket. Not to say that they don’t love their over 1000 followers. I say, “The more the merrier”!  To me, it means the world!  I have made so many wonderful blogging friends!   Every time I see a new follower I think, “potential new friend”.  Love everything you all have to share! I know that it’s not really about the numbers, but I would be lying if I said my face didn’t light up every time I  see a new follower.

So, that means, (drumroll please) another give away.  I usually make something for my give aways, but because it’s such a busy time right now I am going to give an apron that my cousin, Betty made.  She loves making them and always has one on hand.

I added the flower on the pocket to give it a bit of pizazz!  Thinking maybe a bit of vintage lace too.

If you are the winner and would rather have a Christmas apron I’m sure we could swap it out. 

Now if over 200 followers wasn’t exciting enough.  Guess what else?  I am a WINNER!  Yes, I won the darling metal sign.  The give away was on Kris at Lake Shore Cottage Blog.  It was donated by Ramsign.

Thanks so much Kris and Tezz from Ramsign!

I absolutely love this and never dreamed that I might win.  I had a hard time choosing the number.  Finally I decided on #7.  It’s my lucky #, the month I was born, and most importantly, the # of members in my immediate family.  Hubby, I, and 5 children.  I  want to just use it as a display piece.  Sometimes on the mantel.  Later, I want to do my craft room in black and white.  Wouldn’t it be a cute piece?  I LOVE anything that has a number on it.  What do you think?  would you have chose a different #?  I thought of  the year we were married, year we moved into our new home, and house #.

Now what to do to enter my give-away.

Hang around, I’m going to tell you. (Had to throw in a bit of Halloween)
