~ this is a silly picture of my mouse and computer, but it represents what I'm especially thankful for today: my blogiversary! (didn't know that was a word? don't feel bad; neither does
dictionary.com or the spell check on this blog; but if you look around the Internet, you'll find it; it won't be long until Webster himself realizes it's a genuine word!)...after two years and 843 posts, I find it difficult to succinctly put into words all that this blog has come to mean to me...but I am GRATEFUL--for it, for this occasionally frustrating computer in this freezer of a room, and for you, the readers...if I could have taken a picture of all of you,
that's what I would have posted for this Simple Sunday :)
In honor of this momentous occasion, I'm going to do a give-away. I haven't done one of these before, but this seems like as good a time as any...so if you're interested in having a package of goodies show up on your doorstep within the next week or two, leave a comment and I'll draw a name out of the hat to find a winner! :)

Congrats on your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering a giveaway, that's really nice of you and a neat way to celebrate.
Well of course I'm in! Happy blogiversary!

Happy Anniversary!! I really like the new blue background.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been really great to catch up with you guys on this blog from time to time and imagine my surprise when this morning I find that you're giving a giveaway?!? no way! Seriously though, where would we be without the internet and all of its wonders? I for one would be lost, especially this winter with all of our sickness! Being stuck in the house for a whole week is daunting...
ReplyDeleteSo....thanks davene! ;)
Happy Blogiversary! (oh yup, there's the little red squiggly line under the word! :-) ) I love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteDoing a giveaway has caused me to come out of my "lurking" closet... Count me in!
ReplyDelete(And yes, I'm Sally's sister...)
Happy Blogiversary! It has been wonderful to read about your family. I am grateful that you are so willing to open up your life like this to us.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! Happy Blogiversary! I really enjoy reading your thoughts, Davene. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I enjoy reading your blog and appreciate your encouraging thoughts.
ReplyDeletewow! over 800 posts - i am in AWE!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you started blogging, it's been fun getting to know you. It's funny how even though it's over the web, you really get to become friends with folks. The other day I had a question about something Hebraic and I thought, "Oh, I'll call Davene later and ask her about it." Then I realized-- "Ph, wait Davene is a blog friend-- I've never even heard her voice and I don't have her phone #!" It just goes to show how close you can become with your blogging buddies!
ReplyDelete843 posts?!?!?! Wow. That is amazing. Happy blog-iversary!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of posts in two years! Wow! Do you have callouses on your fingers from typing (just kidding!)? I love reading your blog. You can put my name in the hat for your drawing. I wonder if any of my other sisters will show up here...I know at least one other one reads your blog.
ReplyDeleteTo the woman who started it all for me. (blogging, that is).
ReplyDelete*To you, my friend*
very exciting about a giveaway -- and I also feel that way about the 'blogosphere'.
ReplyDeleteSo what do I get if "I" win?
ReplyDeletePardon me: I should have made it clear that NO IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS are eligible to win!!!
ReplyDeleteBesides, you wouldn't like the prize anyway...after all, you don't like chocolate, do you? ;)
Thanks for the encouragement on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteDid I see you say chocolate?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWell by all means, count me in!
Happy Anniversary- I had to laugh at "2 years, 800+ posts" I'm at 2 years, 205 posts.
Tootles!
Davene, Did you mention chocolate?! I am the worlds biggest chocoholic! I also happen to be one of Sally's sisters. So by all means count me in!!!! Julia
ReplyDeleteI saw chocolate and thought THAT sounds like something I want to win. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!
Wow, Happy Anniversary on the blog! I'm nearing the one-year mark. It's a fantastic way to make new friends. So glad you're one of them, Davene!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Davene! I must say that your blog has been a welcome stress reliever for me! I love to go through it and catch up and read all the things happening in your lives. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeletewoohoo! congrats! i realized my 1 yr. blogiversary either already happened or is coming up.....but i'm a bad blogger, so it's not as exciting. anyway, i like chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteI am not eligible for the giveaway...my hubby asked me not to give out our home address, bummer! But I did want to say congratulations on your blogiversary! :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
