Post 300

Well, I have been blogging now for almost 2 years. I just hit post 300. That's hard to believe. That is a lot of ramblings :)!! I decided since I have enjoyed blogging so much and have met such great friends, that I would have a little give-away.

Here is the loot. A pillow, a chalkboard for love notes(I will include some chalk), a framed hand-stitchery, a dish towel and some magnets for the fridge.
I love this saying from Abe Lincoln.

Where you have read that before? :) For those of you who have just found my blog, I end each post with that saying. I say it each morning to my girls as they head out the door for school. I thought it would be a good way to end a post each time, too.

It's sort of a little February gathering. I will take comments--no need for you to post about it on your blog. Just say Hi here! I will draw a name on January 19th. Thanks for being my friends. Some of you have been around for all 300 posts and are still here. Thanks a bunch. It has been a pleasure for me to get to know you. It really has. Have a super day!!


Be Nice to People,
Julie

Julie, I have been blessed by you with each of your posts... your ending with 'be nice to people' has reminded me of that one simple basic thing that I can do every day to share of myself. So thank you!
Have a wonderful day... we're soggy and wet here in B.C., but I'm finishing off the January mitten block anyway - at least IT looks like winter!
Hugs, Kimberly

Awesome job on the 300 posts!
I found your "be nice to people" phrase,a comfort. It's nice to know that such a simple phrase is still helping our lives be better and helping us be better people!
I too have a phrase that I have used whenever our children have walked out the door into the world.. we always say, " Return with Honor" . We want them to remember who they are and what they stand for. Thanks ever so much for being a terrific blogging friend. Have the best day!

Congradulations!!! I hope I will be able to hit 200 before I go on my mission. But I will leave sometime in November of this year, so I will have to hassel. I don't know what I will do with my blog when I leave. Maybe turn it over to my sister?
