Three!

It's my 3rd blogoversary!
Join me in celebrating with a Tootsie Pop!


Photo created using the photo captioner at Lolcats.
Those of you that are too young or from outside the States can click here to understand my use of an owl and the number three. Or you can just click there to see the fun commercial!

To have an even bigger celebration, leave a comment on this post to enter my blogoversary giveaway. I'm going to stitch a special gift for the winner and maybe add in a goody or two or thrrrrree. I'll draw a winner on Sunday, November 14th. I won't stitch the prize until I know who wins so don't expect an immediate picture!
Entries for the giveaway drawing are now closed.
The winner will be announced soon!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

    That is so funny. Everytime I eat a Tootsie Pop (yes I had a chocolate one today) I think the same thing..."how many licks..." . I don't think I made it past three :-) Christie

    Happy 3rd Blogoversary! And I do remember the commercials very well! (showing my age here) I love owls so I love the pic you chose for your blog. :) About that list of blogs...mine isn't there. :( Maybe because I seldom update lately. I'm trying to change that! :)
