Top 10:Why I havn’t Posted.

Stats

I just want to say thank you to all of my readers for your ongoing support. This week I broke a huge milestone for myself. 10,000 hits since last Christmas, (according to WordPress. SiteMeter is a little off.)

Every month, for the past six consecutive months I have broken my monthly hit record. In June there were 2,500 hits. On average almost 100 hits per day. The highest traffic days was a freakish 310. (I just love WordPress’ integrated stats, one of the most rockin’ features!) It came from link through one of those random blog channels. Have you ever been linked to from on of them? The traffic is ridiculous and I have no idea how one’s site actually gets added.

My all-time most popular post is still my gargoyle with over 870 hits. For whatever reason, hardy a day goes by without someone visiting that post.

My wnderful blogging friends, thank you for helping  me break my personal records and thank you for your support.

And The Winner Is….

By random, unbiased, third-party selection aka DH….drum roll please…..cue bugles…

100th Post Giveaway!

Can you believe I made it?! I can’t either! It’s all thanks to the wonderful commenters and readers who kept me going. Now it’s time for me to give back to you.

I made this quilt specially for you all during the beginning of May when the Irises were still blooming. I sat on the front steps , sketched my irises, and then made it into this quilt intended as a giveaway for my dear readers. It was so hard to keep a secret!

The quilt measures approximately 8.25″ wide by 10.5″  long. 20.96 cm x 26.67 cm. It is made from cotton fabric, cotton batting, and nylon interfacing. There is a sleeve on the back for hanging on your wall. I regret that I cannot include a hanging rod.

Here are the rules.

Leave a comment on this post within the next seven days.

Please fill in the email address field so I can contact you if you win.

Next Monday RANDOM.ORG will select a random integer as the winner based on the comment order. (No picking favorites!!)

I will ship the wall hanging by U.S. Priority Mail, within the U.S., or by Priority Mail International to Canada, Europe, or the rest of the world.
