... of this Blog,
This is the one thousandth post I've put up on my blog ... that's 1000 posts! Truly an unbelievable number which I certainly could not envisage when I started out almost 4 years ago, on 28th September 2010. I've no idea how many words that amounts to or even the number of photos published ... whatever, it's a huge amount and I can't tell you what fun it has been and no doubt will continue to be :)
Many of you have been here almost from the word go so to celebrate this momentous occasion and to thank you for all your visits and comments over the last four years I'm offering a wee giveaway.
However, if the winner is a sewer, knitter, crocheter or gardener and would prefer it, I have an alternative in mind ...
So, what do you have to do to win? Simply be a reader of this blog and leave a comment on this post. Hopefully, if I can work out how, I'll make this a sticky post and you have until the end of this month, 31 October to add your comment. I will then collate them all in the old-fashioned but tried and true method of putting them all in a hat and ask the EM to do the honours :) The winner's name will be published as soon as possible after that date.
Many thanks in advance for your participation.
Edited Note #2: Sandy at the Craft Barn has very kindly donated a £10 voucher for me to giveaway, how lovely is that! This means that I will now be making a second draw and the EM will be working overtime :)
Good Luck!

Oh well done Elizabeth on 1000 plus posts! That's so sweet of you to do a giveaway - I'd love to go in the hat please :)

Hi Elizabeth,
you are a very generous lady.
So congratulations on your 1000 post, and may we see many, many more such delightful ones in the future.
I mean of course your work and not the vouchers that are on offer.
The sticky post is quite easy to do.
You just change the date every day on your post you want to be sticky, by just going in an editing it every day.
I hope that makes sense.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
One thousand blogposts... now that is worth celebrating!!! Blogging has changed my life (almost 6 years ago now - but 'only' 677 blogposts.. you are more frequent in posting then?) I would not want to miss the nice, only crafting community anymore... hope you will stay crafting and blogging for a long time Elizabeth! (oh, ps, for the give-away... I don't know 'The craft barn' and if they ship to Holland, but I think Amazon ships to the Netherlands... so if I might win I prefer the Amazon voucher...keeping my fingers crossed.

Congratulations on your mammoth 1000 posts. That is a lot of typing! I'm only a little way behind you too. Would love to be added to your pot. that is really kind of the The Craft Barn to donate an extra voucher. hugs Mrs A.
Many congrats Elizabeth,wow 1000, well done! ;)Viv xx
1000! That's excellent. Nice job Elizabeth. :-)
Just an observation - to make a post a sticky one you don't need to change the date daily as the lovely Jenny said. Once you publish the post and it has appeared on your blog you can change the date to however far ahead you want it to remain 'sticky'. Then just forget about it :)
Hugs
Di xx
