It's Blogiversary Day Here at the Den

Hello, Gentle Reader,   welcome to my blogiversary.


Frankly, I'm feeling rather muted today, but maybe a reason to celebrate is what I need.  I have been lolligagging in Blogland since 2006, and I have been lucky enough to meet a great number of really nice folks, so I consider myself quite lucky.

Thank you all for suffering through my silences and not judging me based on the length of my UFO list (mind you, that UFO list is at least 30% your fault!   If you stopped talking about and showing all the cool things you are up to, I would stop needing to join you!)   Honestly though, thank you -- you provide endless inspiration and encouragement, and my life would be poorer for not spending little bits of it with you.

So please help me celebrate my years as the Musing Badger and let this little, sometimes peevish, sometimes giddy badger say thanks to you for all you do for me.  If you leave a comment on this post I will have a drawing for something stashy.  No, I don't know what yet, but it will be better than junk mail -- and that's something, right?  Maybe I should solicit suggestions -- what would excite you most in an envelope:  threads, buttons/charms, beads, fabric, charts, or a varied collection?  Leave your answer to that with your comment on this post and you will be tossed in the hat for a Baderliscious (see, you are making my mood improve already -- you can always tell when I start making up words. --- THANKS!) surprise.

Have a beautiful and stitch happy,
ruth

Happy Blogiversary! Anything in a giveaway is a wonderful thing in my book. I've been a bad blogger myself this year so don't feel bad.

Happy Blogoversary! You are not the only blogger with longer periods between posts these days :)
Any surprise makes a great giveaway. Have a great day!

Happy blogaversary, Ruth!:) these many years in blogging is really a commendable effort.
You are a good blogger. The number of posts doesn't matter much but the way you bring a smile to the readers with your writeups is what I like most:) Keep it up!!
You have recently given me a giveaway gift. Considering that I still stand a chance to enter ;), I would go for anything crafty since you have already ensured that there won't be any junk in it :)

Mii Stitch said...

You should be proud of yourself!! You're a long time blogger!!! :D This is definitely something to celebrate, so big hugs & wishing you a very happy blogiversary ☺
A giveaway is always a treat, so whatever you decide to offer would be a real pleasure to receive for anyone of us. Take care xxx

Terri said...

I prefer threads, fabric, and beads. I am rather picky when it comes to charts. Or a gift card is nice! :-) Of course, stitched gifts are always good, too!

Happy Blogiversary!

Happy blogiversary!! 7 years is a long journy, congratulations! I have been very bad posting in the last 2 years, not enough time to do it, but with blogs like yours, I get inspired, motivated and, many times, make feel better and improve my mood too.

Anything is great, I'm not posting because of your giveaway, I want to celebrate with you, that's all.

I wish you many more years of happy blogging :)

Happy Blogiversary! Sure hope you have a better day......hmmmm about tomorrow? Or Sunday? Those work days are always muted days for me.

Love the WIP list - it has variety and color and it has you to make it get smaller (or maybe even longer).

If you do a stashy giveaway..it will be fantastic because it will be a Ruth Original.

Hugs from PA.

Happy Blogiversary!

You were one of the first people to comment when I started my blog way back when, and I have been reading you since then, too. Even though I no longer cross stitch (ok sometimes) I still like to see what you are making. Now I am into crochet and knitting…have you ever thought about doing those? :)

((hugs)).

Keep the William Tell overture playing in your brain pan as you read: Happy Blogiversary, Happy Blogiversary, Happy Blogiversary, HAAAAAAPy blogiversary! Which project are you working on RIGHT NOW???

Melissa said...

Happy blogoversary!!!! It's amazing that you've been doing this since 2006! I share your sentiments about be able to share bits of your life with the stitchy community here. I always make an escape to blog here when I'm feeling a little blah.

Please enter my into the mix. Anything would be wonderful :)

Janet said...

Happpy blogoversary. How neat that you have been able to keep up for so long. I have wanted to do that but possibly that will be something to do when I retire.

Please enter me in the givaway and thanks for your generosity.

Happy Blogaversary! 7 years is amazing, I've not even reached 3 yet!
I think the nicest thing in a giveaway is a personal note explaining why the sender chose those particular things for a prize.
