Four Years of Blah, Blah, Blah ~

A big THANK YOU to all my dear blog friends! Some of you have been listening to me blather on for four years.  Four years ago I posted for the first time.  You can read about it here.  I really am not "chatty" in person, but here on the blog I can ramble on and on and on :)

In honor of four years, I will be giving away four of my spoon necklaces.  Here is a sampling of what I have to offer.


I do have them for you non-hookers, too, and I can always do a woof or a meow.


If you already have a necklace, you can enter to win a stamped handle.  They can be a necklace, be made in to a scissor fob, or used as a charm.


Here is my necklace.  I'll also send some beads to add however you wish.


Entering is simple.  Leave a comment on this post or drop me an email with give-away in the subject line.  I will draw the names on Tuesday.  

Thank you again, dear friends, for your kindness, support and friendship.  Some of you I have had the privilege of meeting in person and some I will never meet, but you are all very dear to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  As I said in my first post, what counts is the journey, not the destination.  

Pug hugs : )
Lauren

  8. Good grief, really? Four years? How time flys. Now I'm wondering how long I've had my blog but think it took me a long time to 'get into the groove'so you've got me beat with blogging time I'm sure.

    Would love to be in the mix for one of those Wonderful Hooker Handles for a scissor fob. Congrats on your 4 year.

I would, however, like to order from you...one of those spoon handles that says "Hooker" to hang on my necklace. Give Ellie a kiss for me...

  22. I just celebrated my second year on my blog; can't believe how time flies. Happy four years to you!! Between you and Notforgotten Farm I could not resist giving hooking another try. To be really honest your post of ALL your wool scattered about really sank the hook in me. It was wool envy at first sight. Thank you for sharing your stories, projects and other musings

  30. Lauren,
    Difficult to believe you have been bringing us into your world for four years!! I think you deserve some kind of diploma for that. Have loved every minute I have spent with you and your babies. Your work with pug rescue is inspiring!
    One of your necklaces would have a loving home with me in Tallahassee.
