First of all, make sure that you have the music turned on when you read this post. I love this song! Its kind of an oldie but whenever I hear it, I smile and get a happy feeling inside. I'm so excited to be having my very first give-away! I've almost made it to 200 posts! This one is my 198th post! WOW! I have met so many wonderful people out here in blog land and have gotten so many creative ideas for my little cottage! It has been a blast! I've met a few 'special' people here that I feel like are really 'friends' to me. You have encouraged me with your kind words. Especially on days that I didn't even feel like getting out of bed because of the Fibro. So many people don't even try to understand this disorder and most of the time I don't even try to explain it to anyone anymore. (Save that for a different post.) I just want to say thank you for visiting me here on my blog and leaving me such kind comments. It truly means so much to me!
Thanks for everything that you do to make my little piece of this big 'ole world a happy place!

I have that book too and it's really nice! How nice of you to have a giveaway! I really love Yankee candles!
What a great giveaway Lee Laurie. I agree with everything you say about blogging. I never knew that it would become so rewarding...I wish I could meet everyone that I have gotten to know thru blogging. As for the fibro...it is all new to me. I don't know much about it yet. My brother is currently being tested for it. Take care and talk to you soon.
200 post. WOW. That is wonderful. Now, please please oh please sign me up!!! I want to WIN! hehe but i'll be happy with whomever wins.
How your dog coming along missLL?
I hope today is better for you my friend. It's a rough spot, I know. HUGS my dear.

Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog today! Your giveaway looks great and I love your blog.

wow ...things to make my taxi smell better hahahah
Oh how nice this giveaway is. I know what you mean about people not understanding fibro. Believe me, being a medical transcriptionist, I know that it is really a rampant syndrome not understood by many of the population - and even some doctors! I hope you had a good day today.
Lee Laurie, blogging has brought so many wonderful 'new' friends into my life ... they hold a very special place in my heart & are deeply treasured ... you were one of the very firsts.
What a bountiful fun giveaway & so many lovely items. TY for accepting my entry.
Hope things are going well for you now. TTFN ~Marydon
Wow, congrats and thank you! I'm not very good at blogging, but I love to read them. :)
I'm following you, btw.

First, I don't know if I would qualify to be in your giveaway. However, congrads on number 200 coming up. I seems like the other day....you were talking about your "button phobia". I feel like we do have some good friends out there....some we have never met.
Wow, happy 200th! I am not even have way there. I know what you mean, you meet the very best people on the blogs. I have only been at it since Feb and I feel I made life long friends. Your blog is beautiful. Martha
Hi,
What a lovely giveaway you are having. I love everything in your package! That book would be fun to read and go through over and over again as the smells from the candle fill the room.
Oh there I go day dreaming again. LOL
I love your blog.
I don't have fibro but I do have cronic neck pain. You are so right, people don't understand what it is like to be in pain all the time. I've had two surgeries and they think I should be pain free now. Wish I was. I just learned to not talk about it any more. It's my life and I had to learn to deal with it.
So I can relate to how you feel and my heart goes out to you.
Hugs,
Joanne
Ok, sign me up, and then come over to my blog and sign up for my first giveaway! I'm going to follow you, and watch what fun things you might be up to!

This is so generous of you. Thank you so much for the opportunity. xoxo
OOh please enter me in your giveaway!! This is my first visit to your blog. I just wanted to say that I was a bridal consultant for over 8yrs. until I lost my job in 2008. Also, I do understand Fibro. My good friend suffers so much from it and I feel so bad for her pain.
Also, my never ending dream is to own my own little cottage. We live in the Great Lakes State and cottages are abundant. However, the financial aspect to obtain on is not..for us, anyway.
I am taking a good look at your blog and will put it on my blog list!
Thanks again. ginny
