Happy New Year 2009!

Wow ...
Happy, Happy New Year dear friends!

How about let's start the New Year off with a fun little give-a-way???


The other day when we were at Wintergreen Resort, Bett and I visited a few of the boutiques. This sweet little Vera Bradley ID/Change Purse caught my eye and I knew I had to get one of them for myself!

Well ... guess what? I got a second one to share via a little bloggy give-a-way.

Happy New Year Missy!!! Oh I love Vera Bradley and think that litle ID/Change Purse is adorable.

So here is my comment about how I found you!!! Drum roll please...I know you in real life...not just the blog world!!! That's right...we're real flesh and blood friends and I started blogging because of you. Originally you mentioned in an email to me that you had a blog after you moved from sunny Florida to Virginia so reading it was a way to catch up with what was going on in your life there. I guess you oculd say I was a "lurker" because I never left a comment or even considered starting my own blog. Then I think it was at your baby shower down here in Florida that I mentioned something about reading it and knowing something and you asked..."why don't you leave a comment?" So I did and then I got brave and decided to start my own blog and the rest shall we say is "history" because I'm still at it. I must say I have met the most wonderful people through the internet and blogs!

For my second entry...I'm already a follower...that little Boston Terrier icon is me!

And for my 3rd entry...not sure if you'll count this because my blog is private...but I will post about your giveaway on it later today!

Hope this isn't too long...are there extra points for that???

Happy New Year!!! Love, Andi

Judi said...

Missy I found you through Wendy's Blog. I am not sure how she found you?? She will have to let us know. I do enjoy finding out what you have to say everyday. And see pictures of that cute Griffin!!!

Judi said...

Hi Missy! It's finally me,
Beth Anne, commenting on your blog. It ridiculous that is has taken me so long to leave a comment. I believe I first learned of your blog, maybe the second time I met you. You shared your card with me at story time. And I've enjoyed reading your blog weekly ever since. Miss seeing you, so maybe this is a new way for us to keep in touch more. :) Happy New Year to you and yours!

What a great way to start the new year! I found your blog from you, I think I even had to have you e-mail me the address! I am new to leaving comments, and have yet to choose an identity in Google/Blogget. One step at a time! Hope you had a good first day of 2009.

What fun! Who doesn't love Vera Bradley? Her factory, in Ft. Wayne, is less than 40 miles from our home. All the shops carry her wares.
I've found several items at yard sales, for a dollar, well worn, much loved...but still usable.
To win a NEW piece would be divine!

Anonymous said...

I found your blog thru the email/newsletter I get from you. Years ago I purchased a punchart bear and pumpkins piece from you. Have enjoyed looking at your stuff ever since. Someday I'll get back to scrapbooking! Thanks for entering me for the VB purse.

Cassandra said...

Hi Missy - Of course I found your blog through your beautiful paper piecings! And...I started blogging because of you! (not that I'm such a great blogger right now!)

Sue said...

Considering I won the last give a way, I doubt that I would win twice in a row! But...I'd like to try! lol
I know my daughter, Laura, would love to have the little purse, she loves Vera Bradley.

I really don't remember how I found your blog, I think it was through your old website...I've been following it since BEFORE Griffin was born! Wow...long time lol
