Thank you for being a friend................Giveaways!!!

Thank you for being a friend
Travelled down the road and back again
Your hearts are true - you're my pals and my confidant's

I reached a milestone everybody!!!
I crossed the 1000 followers line on GFC - do not ask me how it happened because I haven't got a clue.
Seriously, that so many of you come by and leave the most incredible comments, overwhelms me more than I can say.

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it will always stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

Last summer - I was over the moon - and I DO mean over the moon, doing a happy dance all over the place because I had crossed the 100 followers line..............this year seemed a complete impossibility and yet here we are,
Do numbers count?
Not really I suppose - I'm not advertising ( other than google ad sense ) I don't have sponsors ( yet, but
I'm seriously considering it now - because there are so many amazing bloggers out there who I would like to offer exposure to )
BUT - even if numbers don't count - there's something incredibly exciting about watching them grow!

And if you threw a party
invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say 
thank you for being a friend

Hmmmmm - how should we celebrate?

How about a week of giveaways?
How does that sound?
How about if I mention in passing that it would be a week of Paris - Themed giveaways - does that
" up the ante " ???

The contributing ladies were just as excited as I was to share in  this and make it possible - which make these gifts even more precious than they already are.

There will be 5 - maybe 6 draws - and I'll be doing each of them separately because I want to properly introduce you to each of them - while I show off what they created. ( I win a prize from each of them by default lol - so
I suppose numbers DO count!!! )

The ONLY criteria I asked of each of them was that the gift be something PARISIAN inspired - because I know how much we all love anything to do with PARIS, right?  ( and because I probably have more nerve
than a toothache ) Stay tuned everyone - it'll be happening soon - at a blog near you !!!

I'm not going to announce who they are until it starts - some are still busy busy busy creating!!!

And when we all get older
with walking canes and hair of grey
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say 
( I'll scream it actually - for all the world to hear )                                                  
Thank you for being a friend............

A thousand thank you's to be precise

Have a wonderful friday all!!!
