Four years ago today Dani talked me into starting up a blog. I had just finished Celtic Banner and she convinced me to share it and go from there.
It has been a wonderful four years! I have met many new stitchers. They are as varied as the grains of wheat. They have laughed with me, cried with me and more importantly stitched and frogged with me.
Thank you one and all for sharing these past four years.
In honor of the blogaversary, I will having a giveway. It will be a gift certificate to Knowledge and Needles.
You know the drill - comment on this post.. You do not have to be a follower - but that would be nice. You don't have to post to your blog or add a button. If I have enabled you in some way, I would love it if you would share but it's not necessary. I will draw a name on the May 23rd.
Good luck everyone.

Congratulations Kathy! I enjoy reading every update to your blog. I love seeing your beautiful stitching, especially the lighthouses as well as reading of your cross country adventures. Here's hoping for many more years of reading and friendshipe.
Happy 4th year of blogging! I love to read your posts and see all your beautiful stitching. You have made me want to try my hand at a Mirabilia design one day. I can't remember if I am a follower but I will go check and see - I should be!
Happy blogoversary!!! I only started my blogspot blog a couple of months ago, but I've found so many friends here. I'd love to be entered in your giveaway!! Thanks for the chance!
Hi Kathy,
Well I must say, you don't look
four years old. Huh?? What's
that??? OOOhhhh!! It's your
BLOG that's four years old!
Silly me.
Happy Blogaversary Kathy!!!
Hope that there will be many
more such celebrations in your
blogging future. And good on
Dani for getting the ball
rolling in the first place.
I've been admiring your many,
many, many (many!!) on going
stitching projects and the
progress that you have been
making on them. What I love
is that each one is so different
from the others both in style
and in their colour palates.
My favourite remains Sampler
de Bouquet which looks stunning
so far. Aren't those blue
flowers beautiful?
Your newest Nutcracker is
so cool!! Love his staff,
his cloak, his tall mitre
hat and his little wooden
shoes. What a great addition
to your collection. The
little Sinterklaas on his
horse is cute as anything
too. What a wonder, generous
gift from Margaret and her DH.
His Nutcracker collection is
bigger then yours??? Is that
possible??
I've been looking in awe and
wonder at that angel you've "volunteered" to stitch for someone. How big is that thing anyways?? Cripes!! All I can
say is better you then me!!!
Cheers!
We have shared all those things you mentioned and more! Here is to many more great years together!
Congratulations Kathy!!! And look at you still blogging!
Please enter me in your draw!!!
love the frogs on the side of your blog.....
would love to be included in your 4th give-away.

Happy blogaversary Kathy! It's been great to get to know you and to do a few exchanges with you.
I have to say that you (along with Dani and Judy) inspired me when it came to Weight Watchers. I joined up over a year ago and lost 15 kg!
Have a great week.

Wow! Four years--you must be one of the cross stitch blogging "pioneers," Kathy :) Seriously--congratulations--I'll bet you're so proud to look back through the years and see all your work so nicely documented along with all your wonderful get-togethers.
Thanks for the chance in your drawing :)
Congratulations on your blog anniversary. I do enjoy vising your blog often. I had never seen a RR before and LOVE the Mirabilia ones that you have done and participated in. Just gorgeous. Some day I would love to do one.
Happy 4th! Even though I see almost all your works beginning, middle and end I enjoy reading your blogs. You have a great way with the written word !

Kathy - Happy blogaversary. It's my way of keeping in touch with what everyone is working on. I'm not computer literate enought to post pictures yet!
Happy Fourth Blogaversary Kathy! Thanks for the gift opportunity!
I've been prettying up my kitchen a bit lately and that includes painting the insides of the cabinets-I am paint-mad, and haven't gotten past the priming! What fun! Though I'm hoping that I shouldn't have gone oil to cover a few of these stains.
Your wips are looking so pretty, and I hope your supplies of Necessary threads will now co-operate and not cause delays! :D
Congratulations. Love reading your blog. Please enter me in your draw.
