Better Late Than Never, Right?

I'm so sorry that I'm so late on doing my give-a-way announcement. We have been so busy lately and everything has been getting away from me. 

This morning I wrote out the five pep's names who commented on little pieces of paper and put them in bowl.

And the winner is............

Congratulations Sarah from On the Rhoads of Life

This is an amazing coincidence because today is actually Sarah's birthday. So Sarah happy birthday again and leave your email address in a comment, so I can contact you for your address. I promise I will be quicker mailing your treats to you than I was doing the drawing. 

Mrs. Potter, 101th post, MY First Giveaway

Yesterday I got my screened in porch all summerfied. I planted a ton of pink begonias and assorted colored impatients in all container pots. I also cleaned of the inch think film of pollen still lingering on everything in there. These are some shots I took of porch and all the flowers. Notice the hand painted pots around the ledge from my post "She's Crafty" post. They may come back up later in this post.

So I thought I had timed everything out to make this my 100th post, but I made a mistake somewhere along the way. Therefore I 'm celebrating my 101th post instead of my 100th. I don't want to be like everyone else anyway.

Yay my 101th post! I've really enjoyed blogging so far. I hope I keep up with it over the summer when my life usually gets a little busier. I'm glad to have a kind of record of what is going on in my life that I'll be able to look back on. 

Thanks to everyone who has been reading my blog so far. Thanks for putting up with my poor grammar, punctuation, and a few misspelled words that manage to get by spellcheck. Thanks for your comments, and making me feel like my life is a bit more interesting than it actually is.

And finally, thanks for letting me into your lives through your blogs. I've really enjoyed getting to know some really cool girls through this whole blog thing. Some from all over the country, and some right here in my own backyard.

To show my thanks, and celebrate my 1-0-1 blog,  I'm doing my first giveaway.

Back when I painted my replacement flower pot, I decided to paint a larger one to give to one of my readers. Here's a photo of the pot one of will be receiving:

I will also be including a few little surprise goodies along with original-CarrieBeth-hand-painted-flower-pot and personal note from me. It's not a super extravagant giveaway, but hell as many post as I've done in this short time, I'm going to be hitting too many milestones to be making my giveaways too extravagant this soon.

To play along in the giveaway just leave a comment over the next week under this post. Next Wednesday I'll do drawing, and post who's name I pull. Whoever wins will have to leave there email address in a comment for that post, so I can contact you for your street address. If your uncomfortable doing that please don't enter for the drawing.

I'm so excited about this, so please comment to win. Don't let me down readers!
