Twelve Years and Two Days Ago ~

My first blog post.  You can find it here.  They (whoever "they" are) say time flies when you are having fun, and the time has flown by.  This is post #1677.  As I have said in the past, that is a lot of blah, blah, blah.  Much has happened in the last twelve years!  I am much older and hopefully a little wiser 😁

In honor of my blogiversary, I am having a little give away.  This is one of the items you will receive . . . a heart necklace made from a piece of an antique welcome mat.  You will get to choose one.  This is one that a hooker might like.  I will add a few other things as well.  Stay tuned.



The little charm says, "I just wanna hook".


As always, entering is easy.  Leave a comment on this post or send me an email with give-away in the subject line.  The winner must contact me within three days.  Please, no sharing on any social media.  (Apologies to my foreign friends.  This is for U.S. residents only.  Shipping costs out of the country are ridiculous.)  A winner will be chosen Sunday evening.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

I can't believe you have had a blog for so many years. Congratulations!
I would love to win a necklace from you, as I am sure others will too.

12 years. WOW! I hope you continue for at least another 12 as so many bloggers have stopped and I sure do miss them. Thanks for the giveaway. I wish I could have a full heart mat to hang in my home. I had the chance to buy one and did not when I saw it at a show and when I went back, it was sold. UGH Janice

Guess my message wasn't saved...anyhoo, I'm not sure how long I've been blogging and just went looking and guess it was documented at 2011. So Lauren you're the trailblazer for me and recall you posting to welcome the 'newbie blogger' to the fold. So thank you.

HAPPY 12TH BLOGIVERSARY, Lauren... Wow, 12 years of blogging is a long time but it seems like only 5 years to me. I have no concept of time as I'm always busy, and that's the story of my life. I'll have 11 years on August 2, 2021. I've enjoyed having you as a blogger friend and wish we lived closer. Your posts are always so interesting.

Your blog has always been a joy to visit and your faithfulness as a blogger friend has been unmatchable... I feel like we are sisters.

I'm looking forward to the next 12 years.

Love and hugs my dear friend.
Julia

Julia may be your sister, but I will always be your (evil) twin LOL. Happy Blogaversary! You are the "veteran" on the block it seems. While I had read/commented on a few blogs prior, my first post was about 10-1/2 years ago (if I do the math properly). I am not sure when it was, exactly, that our paths crossed, but I am so grateful they did. I would be honored to be entered into this special giveaway. That necklace is AHHHMAZING!! Gah! How I love those old mat hearts!!! ~et~

Congratulations!! It is 12 years blogging for me too. I haven't been on too much, but I have met some fabulous people on here and you are one of them. I love the necklace I bought from you when you were at the Holly show a few years back. I hope you are enjoying the day.

Just looked back at my blog. I started almost 10 years ago but posts have been very sporadic…..especially in the past 5 years. Oh well. What a lovely gift. Thanks and Happy Blogiversary.

I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Life Clinic via their website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!
