100,000 hits and January Final Friday Giveaway

Hi all! WooHoo - I just passed my 100,000 blog hits! With that, I thought it would be a great time to announce January's Final Friday giveaway! For those of you who've visited my blog before, you may be familiar with the Freebie Friday giveaways I did last year in 2009. Well, this year, I thought I'd change it up a bit and do one giveaway each month, where I would announce the winner on the LAST Friday of each month. How does that sound? Since I just hit the 100,000 milestone, I'm gonna throw in one of the brand new Sale-a-bration stamp sets! Here's a look at what you could win:
*Scallop Border Punch
*Good Neighbors Stamp Set
Now, in order to play, all you need to do is leave me a comment on this post by midnight Pacific Time on Wednesday, Jan 27th. You have to leave me an email address in the post or a blog URL where I can leave a comment (not just your blogger profile). If there is no way I can get in touch with you from your post, I'm gonna have to pick another winner at random until I have a winner that has all the info. Is that cool? For those of you that are uncomfortable with leaving an email in a post, you can write your info like this: yourname at emailaccount dot com. Hope that helps. The winner will be announced on my blog on Friday, January 29th!

You can leave me a comment about anything, or you can answer this question: What is one thing you want to do in 2010? Mine is to run a marathon. I have yet to register for one, but I am leaning towards doing either the Orange County Marathon or Palos Verdes Marathon, which are both in May. It's a tough schedule to get marathon ready by then, so I really need to be good about training. As a matter of fact, I need to get ready to go out for a 6 mile run this afternoon! I look forward to reading your comments and finding out more about you! Thanks for playing and thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for sharing all your great projects! I plan to downsize and organize in 2010 -- we're moving this summer and that will make packing/unpacking a little easier.

HI Rose!

I hope to sky dive. But I'll only have about 5 months to attempt it since I'll be pregnant until the end of July. I tried 2x in 2009 and it got canceled both times due to weather. Do you think it's a sign? If it is, I'd like to try trapeze instead. :)

2010 is the year I'm dedicating to getting my business (optometric care for elderly and disabled) started. I will start it as a part-time venture and then expand it to full-time as I grow. It will be a lot of work, but so worth it in the end.
As always, I love your blog.
