Good Morning!
It's Thursday, and if you're a regular reader of "every little thing" then you know it's my favourite day of the week!
It always amazes me, when I check my blog stats, that hundreds of people can check my blog yet I usually have no idea who does, unless they leave a comment.
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that there are people out there who care about what I have to say (thanks Mom!), especially since this started out as a photography/scrapbooking blog, and although I still chat a fair amount about photography and scrapbooking, and I think the majority of you out there are scrapbookers, you never know!
So, in an effort to get more of you to subscribe to my feed and/or add me to your google reader and come out from lurkdom and simply say hello, I am going to offer a few fun giveaways! Plus, it's been a looooooooooong winter and who doesn't love to receive a bit of happy mail??
Giveaway #1 - The Scrapbooking Giveaway:
Giveaway #2 -The Photography Giveaway:
(a copy of Bryan Peterson's Understanding Digital Photography and the most adorable keychain with working flash and everything! If you don't have this book and you're interested in photography, I highly recommend it; I had bought it as a prize giveaway for a future class but plans changed so lucky you!)
Yes, the keychain really is that cute:
Here's how you can enter:
1. Leave a comment here - anything will do - hey how are you? i read your blog regularly; I never read your blog but always enter giveaways, I'm sick of winter; what's taking you so long to get your bedroom finished, etc. (make sure to tell me which giveaway you'd like to be entered into the draw for: the Scrapbooking Giveaway, the Photography Giveaway, or either!)
2. Subscribe to my blog feed (I was clever and figured out how to add that option to my blog - it's up to the left underneath my picture) and let me know you've done that, and you get a second entry!
3.Lastly, I am hoping to hit a certain number of subscribers in Google Reader, and if and when I do that, I will re-enter everyone in a draw for this:
I really do appreciate each and every one of you who take time out of your busy schedules to stop by 'every little thing'. It's a place for me to share, to record some of the non-stop chatter in my brain, and to reach out; nothing more, nothing less!
I'll draw the winners next week!
Have a fantastic day, ladies (and gentlemen if you're out there!)
I've been a reader and a subscriber in google reader for a while now and love seeing what you add to your blog. I think I've commented before, but it's always good to do so again... HI! :)

Morning Kathy, always enjoy reading your blog, whether it's about scrapping, photography or random stuff, you're a hoot. I had to google "google reader" to figure out what that was, rather cool actually, and I signed up. Either prize would be a bonus, cheers!

Hi Kathy,
I like keeping up with you and the family! I miss you at the barn even after all this time. Hard to believe the girls have grown up so much. And you write very well which makes it enjoyable.

Well, I have been a fan of your photography/scrapbooking (because the 2 go hand in hand!!) way back when I first joined ssz when it first started up with a forum. Your photos always amaze me, as does the love and relationship you have with your family. It's nice to be able to keep up with what you've been doing!! Happy Thursday!

I have always loved your scrapbooking, photography and random lists posts. Your love of your family is heartwarming to read about. We're in renovation mode here as well with our bedroom next on our hit list. I'm curious to see your colour scheme. I'm sure you'll get it done soon. No one is as slow as we are at that sort of thing! lol Be well.

Guilty of being a lurker! I love your blog & your willingness to share your family with us - thank you. I am trying to be a better photographer & simply LOVE the photos you take & you have such willing subjects. Am also a scrapper & mom & love giveaways!
Thanks again from the other side of our wonderful country! :o)

I'll admit to being a lurker.
I found you I think through American Crafts because I loved your scrapping style :)
I just don't always feel comfortable commenting on blogs when I don't really *know* a person.
But I do like to read your blog for photography info, too!
