100,000 and a Giveaway!

I've been watching my blog statistics carefully for the last couple of days.  I noticed that my all-time pageviews were climbing toward 100,000 and I wanted to do something special as soon as I reached that memorable number.  Today is the Big Day!


I started my blog in April 2011.  That month, I had 1065 pageviews.  Over the past 19 months, my readership has grown steadily to the point that I am now regularly seeing 300-400 pageviews a day.  I am so grateful to all of you who have read my blog and helped me reach this milestone.

To express my appreciation, I'm going to choose one of my followers to receive a $20 gift certificate to scrapbook.com.  If you're not already a follower, scroll to the bottom of the blog and click on the blue "Join This Site" button to be entered in the giveaway.  I'll announce the winner on Christmas Day.  Good luck and thank you all!
