HELP ME CELEBRATE MY BLOG'S FIRST BIRTHDAY.

Help me to celebrate my one year Anniversary by joining my blog and enter my giveaway. Actually the anniversary went unnoticed for two months. How time flies when you're having fun. Better late than ever.

I've never had a Giveaway before and I don't know how to add these fancy buttons to my blog and I don't have extra time to figure it out right now but I'm going ahead with it anyway.

I appreciate that not everyone want to partake in giveaways and that is perfectly fine with me. I still hope that my followers will come by my blog just the same and leave comments.

Since I didn't had time to make anything special for this giveaway I went through my recycled wool and put a small package together.  My wool was rolled up so I'll have to steam it flat to take the creases out of it. So hookers and wool lovers out there if you want to have a chance at this little token of my appreciation, please leave me a comment telling me that you want to take part in this giveaway. My husband will draw the lucky name on October 15, 2011 so make sure that you give me your name and an email so I can contact you to get your mailing address.  Giveaway opened to residents Canada and United States only. New Followers welcome.

Good Luck everyone.  JB

Of Petals and Wool: On the first day

How could I have forgotten my own poor blog's birthday.. Ho, yhi,yhi... What a bad blog mother I've been... There's no excuse. My blog was one year and two months old on Sunday.
On Monday August 2nd, 2010 after much groaning and kicking, my little blog Of Petals and Wool was born as naked as a new born baby and feeling pretty small and alone in this big world of Blogger.

Sorry little blog, I'll make it up to you by having a give away but don't worry I won't give you away. Just give me a couple of days to sort this out.

This was the birth announcement and like Genesis, the subsequent posts were named accordingly, The Second Day, The Third Day etc.

ON THE FIRST DAY

Today my blog was born. I finally just did it, Thanks Deb. Finding a name was a bit of a challenge but with persistence I came up with a name that was available on blogspot. Of Petals and Wool is about two of my passions, oh, I have many more passions than I have time to indulge but for the sake of a name it will suffice. My flower gardens with its millions of petals and my rug hooking are the main ones at the moment.




At the present, I'm only getting familiar with navigating my new blog and hopefully I will be more comfortable as I discover its little secrets.

It's almost time to go check on my new born bull calf and feed the other calves and do my barn chores.
