Pia wants you to win this!When I first started my blog it was because I wanted a place to write about my Etsy shop, sewing adventures, fabric obsessions and other crafty things. But alas, I got too busy to keep up with the sewing demands my Etsy shop required and had to take time off from my shop. Surprisingly, I kept up with my blog. I think it was mainly because of my hubby. My hubby would often tell me, "I liked your blog post today.." or he would say "I think you should write about this tomorrow..." (see he IS my biggest fan!)
And then eventually my blog evolved to become a place to record everyday moments of happiness that would otherwise go unnoticed in my day to day life.
Unexpectedly, others became interested in my little blog and what I wrote about. Even more unexpectedly, I made friends.
Thank you for sharing your life with me, thank you for allowing me to share my life with you.
So, with utmost gratitude I say "thank you".

Thank you for sharing your life with me, thank you for allowing me to share my life with you.
So, with utmost gratitude I say "thank you".
In appreciation, two lucky bloggy friends will each receive this ruffled necklace I made. And because so many of you take the time to not only read my little blog but take the time to leave comments, the first ten people to leave a comment on this post will each receive a pretty mum hair pin (also made by me).
To enter:
1. You must be a follower (if you aren't a follower already, just click "follow" on the left side of my blog)
2. Leave a comment telling me what you are thankful for (don't forget to leave your email so that I can contact you!)
3. Blog, tweet or facebook about this giveaway for up to three extra entries! (please leave the link here)
3. Blog, tweet or facebook about this giveaway for up to three extra entries! (please leave the link here)
Giveaway will run until Thursday April 1st. Winner(s) will be announced Friday April 2nd.
Good luck and I hope you like my "ruffle"inspired giveaway!

Oh my the necklace is so stunning and so is your little one.
I am grateful for having my health, something we take for granted so often. A friend of mine was diagnosed with MS last year and since hear life has turned upside down. being by her side and watching her go through this, having to giving up on her dreams of having a family and the future has been a heart breaking experience. it has made me realize that we truly take our health for granted...until something happens to us. So every day I am going to be grateful for feeling well when I wake up, for being able to live an active life together with my loved ones.
