Celebrations

It's that time of year again!

Saturday, 2/11, is my sixth blogging anniversary - but more importantly, it's Penny's THIRD birthday! Hard to believe "Slick" is three already. Yep, that's her nickname - along with "Punk" and whatever else seems to fit at the moment.

No pictures this morning. She would have none of that!

This will be a quick give-away. Drawing will be held at 6:00'ish p.m. California time tomorrow night, Saturday 2/11.

Just leave a comment and you'll be entered into the drawing. Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you.

Oh, yeah -- I almost forgot!

The give-away will be $60 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop! Yep, you read that right. 6-0. Cuz that's how old I am....... I didn't think anyone would want a $3 gift certificate to celebrate Penny's age!

  50. Happy B-Day, Penny and congratulations, Vicky, on six years of blogging. As for you being the big 6-0, I'll hit that number on my birthday in May. Hey, 60 is the new 40, right? Yeah, I don't think so either. 60 means getting older, but hey, a gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop could make me FEEL younger. I look and drool, mostly.

    ReplyDelete
  51. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENNY! My doxies will be 7-Molly and 5-Max in June. Hard to believe they're getting that old! We have nicknames for them too, Molly is also sissy, can't remember why, but she does answer to it, and we call Max, maxer! Love those pooches! Congrats on your blogging too, I love to read your blog.
