Whoah… today is my FIVE YEAR blog anniversary! I’m seriously stunned that its been that long since I started this on a whim when we lived in Tennessee and I was longing to connect to like-minded folks. I don’t really have much to say that I haven’t said before on my anniversary posts.. but I do want to say thank you again to all of the folks who read and comment. I’ve met some really awesome friends through this blog and I wouldn’t trade y’all for anything!

So, as you may have expected.. I’m going to have a contest. I wasn’t sure how to go about this because I really don’t have any store bought yarn to give away (the usual contest prize here in knit-blog-land) but I’ve decided that the winner of the contest will receive a “goody bag” of things. It might be chocolate, tea, incense, handspun yarn, or soaps… it will also contain something hand made by me but not necessarily knitted. If you win you can tell me of any allergies or hates (you know.. “the smell of flowers makes me barf” or “I hate yellow” would be helpful) so that I can tailor the gift package. Think of it as a Mousie grab-bag… try your luck. Ask around.. I think I put together rather good giftie bags.

So… what do you have to do? Simple. Leave a comment on this post and tell me something. Your favorite quote? Favorite memory? Thing you are thankful for? Anything you want to tell me. The only content rule is that it has to be something “nice” – nothing mean or nasty please. The only other rule is that this contest is ONLY open to people who have actually read my blog before. I’m not saying you have to ever have left a comment.. but please be honest and only enter if you actually are a blog reader (though I’m willing to make an exception for those folks who I talk to on Ravelry.. just leave your Rav name in your comment). I’m going to leave this contest open until Tuesday night at midnight and I’ll choose a winner via the magic random machine (or a drawing in a hat.. depending on how many folks enter).

नमस्ते (Namaste’)
