I found your blog through Hannah Kincade. Congratulations on your awesome follower count. Your prizes are amazing...love those beautiful journals.
Congrats on the followership! Pretty darn impressive for less than a year of blogging :) You have fantastic taste in prizes, too. I added the contest to my sidebar.
I did want to write you something, but my poetry is dark usually and I'm too long-winded for 50 words. Even my comments can't be shorter than two paragraphs, lol!
Congratulations on reaching over 200 followers! I remember you before you had a blog! LOL...
We were just in Minneapolis...I wonder if we were close enough to get a coffee with you?
Have a good one, Sarah!
Alex - i like to give the goods
Elle - thanks!
Julie - thanks! and thanks for stopping by!
Angela - HA! no worries about the writing of things. It's only a small portion of points for the drawing
Sharon - Ha! Crazy, right? And if you were anywhere in either city or the suburbs, chances are you would have been close enough (unless you were in one of those souther burbs)
don't...don't you still owe me some sort of kitsune hat from a previous contest...?
and...a commission...?
yes yes. though i had forgotten about the hat
Congrats on 200+ That's awesome.
And thanks for the contest with gorgeous prizes. :)
Those journals sure look purty. If I don't win, I might have to travel the Renaissance Festival circuit looking for one of my own.
And hey, congratulations on surging past 200 followers! It'll be years before I reach such lofty numbers, but that hasn't stopped me from having a contest of my own. (You should enter.)
Oooh, beautiful prizes! Congrats on the followers!
Congrats on the followers! I'm obsessed with the Renaissance so I really hope I win. :)
Hannah Kincade sent me here and OMG! White Bear Lake? I have an aunt that lives on White Bear--Roxy Hodgson. She took me and my parents on a tour in her boat last summer. It's beautiful.
Cool Contest. Must start brainstorming.
ha! well in all fairness i had forgotten about the hat as well, until the new contest
Congratulations on the 200 (207) followers. That must be an awesome feeling.

Elana - thanks!
Nicole - I am obsessed to, and this guy has such awesome journals
Tamara - Hah! Small world. And good luck when you enter

Nicole - Yay! Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the drawing!
I'm in! I'm in! I'm going for 2nd place! And this is the first contest I've ever participated in, because generally I am FAR too cool for such endeavors. (Cool / lazy / self-centered... there's such a fine line really.)
Congrats on your 200 plus followers! It's a great achievement! :)
