FogCity Dweller is...
Sit back, relax and join me in a piece of cake...mmmmm, cake!
I never thought when I started this blog 5 years ago...that many people would read it. It was a way to really chronicle my dating adventures...being a single girl in a crazy city and allow me to look back on it. And looking back on it...I was a crazy serial dater. Wow...seriously...I was nuts!
Now, there are more stitching stories than dating stories. You hear a lot about me, my city adventures and the ups and downs of my relationship with *the boy*. And *a lot* about stitching! I am thankful for the friendships that I have made through this little blog with folks from all around the world. Thank you to everyone for stopping by my little part of blogland and sharing in the good times and the bad. I can never feel lonely knowing I have so many friends and readers out there who care and offer me support. This was not what I thought the outcome of my blogging efforts would be but I am glad. I'm also happy to stumble upon new to me blogs and meet new readers. Please don't be shy to comment! I hope to make more friendships in the
blogging years to come.
I've got party favors to distribute! I'm a little delayed though...remember I said I would be late to my own party? Yea. I wanted to have things finished so I can show you what the party favors would be but uh, I'm late. On May 1st, I will do a draw for two party favor packages. The grand prize will be a stitched gift from me with a few goodies I'll come up with during stash diving. The runner up prize will be the pattern and remains of the kit I used to make the item for the grand prize plus other little goodies(no stitched gift). If you like surprises, you can sign up now by commenting on this post. Be sure you actually say you are signing up for party favors because I don't want to be guessing. You don't need to do anything special...no posting on your blog. All I ask is that you become a follower if you aren't already and that you put your email in your comment if you don't have one in your profile. Easy Peasy!
For those who don't like surprises, I may put up a sneak peek over the weekend...provided I get my act together!
Thank you for celebrating me turning five! Who da thunk it?!
Until next time...
