Celebrate Good Times !

   Well after reviewing my last few posts and noticing how serious they were I 've decided it's time for a little fun! So what are we celebrating you ask??? Why the fact that it's a beautiful day here in the northeast...the air is cool and crisp, you can hear the arrival of fall in the rustle of the leaves, even the birds' seem to be singing a different tune today, so why shouldn't I?
   I am celebrating the joy of 'meeting' so many remarkable women through this little blog of mine. You are all amazing, strong funny, talented women and you share your lives with those of us here in blogland. Some of you shares joys and others share sorrows or worries but you all share and that alone is reason enough to celebrate our sisterhood so here we go...
   I have decided to have a 'Giveaway', there I've said it! I've been wanting to say it but thought I needed a special occasion. Well I haven't reached any magic number of followers, no special number of posts and it's clearly not an anniversary. I'm having one simply because I want to and because I can! I'm almost giddy with excitement over this...can you tell?
   So if you are already a follower of mine you automatically get an entry (for believing in me enough to follow me). If you send someone my way and they post a comment you both get an entry, they have to be sure and tell me who sent them! Sounds easy enough doesn't it?
   So what is this giveaway  for you ask, well it's a surprise (mostly because I haven't really decided yet). Let it just suffice to say I love all things vintage, I love fabric and anything artsy and cute. I'm sure you'll be delighted when you win! I must say this is rather impulsive for me (not typical) and since I can't wait too long I'm going to pick a name by the end of tomorrow so you have to hurry! Let the party begin...

  1. Wow, what a fun, uplifting post! I'm ready to party and enter your giveaway, Diva. How sweet of you to want to give something "just because".
    If we all just stop for a minute and look around us, we all have things to celebrate each and every day. Thank you for taking the time to remind us to do just that.
    Blessings to you!

  2. Since I am a follower I am very excited about being entered in your giveaway! I enjoy reading your updates and agree that joining blogland has been a real joy. My husband and son don't always get my quirky little projects but there are so many people I have "met" with my blog that do. Have fun with your giveaway!

  9. Diva,
    Thank you so much for your idea for doing an Angel painting! I will really try to figure out a painting with that theme, and if it turns out good, I'll send you a print! Thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to comment!

    XOXO Julie

  10. Hi Diva, I absolutely adore the photo at the head of your post today! PERFECT! We are a sisterhood, aren't we?

    I agree with what you said about never looking down without offering a hand up. I can honestly say I live it. I guess I'd have to generalize, about my post yesterday and other quotes,and say there are always exceptions and quantifiers in this life.

  12. What is it they say? "Where have you been all my life!" :) Thank you for your sweet visit to my blog...and for your kind words. I had never heard of Shark products before. I am loving this iron so much and am delighted to know others have had good experiences with that brand.
    I would love to join in your celebration and your generous "giveaway." I also think of doing one...and have not had the nerve to jump in.
    Thank you for the invitation!
