300 Follower give away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone - before I really get into my post, has anyone else been noticing an abundance of no-reply bloggers lately?  It's seems to be happening on a frequent basis and for some reason quite randomly - on addresses that I know for a fact were not no reply bloggers previously -
It must be a google problem because there's just far too many right now.
And I have tried to go to each and every site to let people know - but it's soooo time consuming - and often the problem seems to remain.................so from now on if you don't hear back from me - ( after having taken time out of your day to drop me a line ) you'll see my reply on my post itself.  Please know that I so appreciate the comments - they make my heart happy - but I just don't have the time to look you up and let you know ( we also run another business - and blogging is time consuming ) 
So - if you do not hear back from me - it's not because I'm rude ( I'm so many other things believe me - but RUDE? no way - that wouldn't be one of them, lol ) I truly appreciate every single one of you - you all make me smile ( sometimes on days when I need to smile badly )

TO FIX NO-REPLY BLOGGER
1) GO TO YOUR DASHBOARD
2) GO TO EDIT PROFILE
3) CLICK ON THE BOX THAT READS " SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS"
4) MOST IMPORTANT - SAVE PROFILE

That's not screaming btw - that's just to make it easier lol - hope this helps!!!

And because I appreciate you sooooooooo much I have another give away to say " thanks " so much - 

I thought this was the cutest thing evah - ( especially since so many diy's use this motif on furniture makeovers - but mostly because you are all " Queen Bees ", right?


Isn't it pretty? ( oh so pretty, and witty and wise? )

And I included one of these in my first give away - but because I love them so much I'm included one again



I had never heard of them until I received one as a " Hostess gift " and fell in love with it so much that last x-mas all the ladies had one ( gift wrapped ) on their plates as a Thanks For Coming gift!
They're " nut " spoons - for germaphobics I suppose LOL - but they look so pretty resting in the bowl.........


and a small ( purse size ) agenda book - Candice Olson is a Canadian designer who does the most inspiring elegant makeovers!  I know her shows also air in some States so some of you may know her - 
this is black and silver - my favorite colors and a great item to have in your purse - I recently added it to mine.  THIS is something I should have in my purse unlike all of THIS - tee hee

I have a few things I'm working on - not quite ready to post about - but some neat makeovers are on their way!

Just drop me a line if you want in on the giveaway - winner will be picked by Random.org next Friday.
I'd love to have you follow me - but it's certainly not a condition - names will be picked from the list
of comments!

And because I'm feeling mushy - and so grateful for the kindness you guys show - these are my parting words for the day - just something I thought up on a whim a long time ago

I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

And if they sound familiar it's because Dolly STOLE them from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XOX
Suzan

Dolly please don't sue me - it's only a little bitty teensy weensy joke - everyone knows that you wrote the song and everyone knows that I'm a pathological liar )

  5. Well, Sunshine, I don't think I'm a no reply person but occasionally Blogger does a number on all of us. Not good!

    I love the nut spoon ~ and yes, Candice Olsen is phenomenal! I won't enter my name as I won last giveaway. So kind of you to do this again.

  9. That line about being a liar reminded me of an old Campion mystery where he said to be 'an habitual and congenital liar.' I liked that! :-) I'd love to be in on the Giveaway. I'm a GFC follower and I'm with you on the no-reply bloggers.

  10. Congratulations on 300 followers.. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.. I love that little 'nutspoon'

  11. Suzan, you're a riot ! I don't know if I come across as a no-reply or not, so I always try to leave my email address in the comment. Certainly don't want to miss out on a giveaway ! The blog I have is defunct (and only used when I go on a vacation), but some bloggers find it and reply to me there instead of using the email address. It's nice that they (and you) always take the time to reply to each and every person. I certainly don't expect it, since I know personally that blogging is very time-consuming.

    Please put my name in the hat for the sweet gifts you're offering !

  12. I am not signing up for your giveaway- and NOT because you are a pathological liar but because I have already won several giveaways this year and am beyond embarrassed to have done so. Anyway, some lucky person is gonna get...wellll...lucky! xo Diana

  19. I have been enjoying your blog for a very long time. My husband thought my blog reading a little weird until I read some of your posts to him. He also thinks you are hilarious. Keep up the good work and know that you brighten my day, always.

    Well Kim you just brightened my day considerably - thanks so much for your sweet comment!

  21. You are already over the 300 follower goal, but I'll help with one more:)

    The no-reply's are either from people who have their blogger account set up incorrectly, or from Wordpress bloggers who aren't signed in to a google/blogger account. I agree, it's super annoying, I just want to be able to write you back!

    2. Hi Suzan,

      Sorry, but, my blog is so not put together right. I'll see what needs to be done.

      I love getting email from you as how many times my husband says, "fine". Believe me I know how you feel, especially when we have heard others words from them describing something they see. Example, cars, cars and did I mention cars? LOL

      Have a great weekend Suzan!!

  31. Suzan, thanks for the heads up about how to not be a no reply blogger.

Love the home tours...I am always curious as to the insides of great old homes!!

  32. I almost missed out on entering! Where have I been? (Well, to tell the truth, I was in Montreal visiting family last week-end.)

    I love the bee dishtowel! I love the other items too. Great giveaway.

    I'm so jealous, I've been blogging for 2 years and only have 52 followers. I don't post often enough, that's my problem.

Due to a large amount of spam ( that I'm tired of going back to posts and deleting ) I'll be using comment moderation from now on !!!
Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
to try my damnedest !!!
