I am celebrating my one year of Blogging with a Give Away. I had so much fun picking out these sock yarns, the large skein in the middle is Opal, the two blue ones on the side are Wildefoot and the pair in the front is Red Heart (the Red Heart is really fabulous - it contains aloe, very very comfortable to wear). All of these comprise the first gift.
Gift #2 is some really pretty Berrocco "Zen" yarn and the most gorgeous Colonial Rosewoodknitting needles, I absolutely fell in love with the beauty of these needles. RULES TO WIN
1. Leave a comment and if you don't have a blog, then also email me indicating which comment was yours.
2. If you have a blog and reference this giveaway on it, then that counts as an extra entry (please be so kind as to let me know).
The deadline to enter is June 15. I will be selecting two winners at random and post them on my blog.

Please don't enter me in your draw, because I already have way more stuff than I am likely to use before I die, but I did want to say, "Happy anniversary!"
Happy blogiversary!
Happy Anniversary!
Love your pix of the flowers,
Ingrid
Happy blogiversary, Jean!
I'll see if I can send some readers over here for you. I know it's encouraging to receive Comments.
Jean, happy Blog'Versary! Isn't it great to look back at all you've written, all the pictures you've taken, and the friends you've made along the way? And isn't it wonderful to know that thanks to the advances of technology, we can share our thoughts with like-minded people all around the globe? That at least is ONE positive aspect of progress!
Many many more blogversaries, Jean, and much more of your lovely writing and pictures please.
Hugs from Ireland.
WOW a whole year already - thanks for all of your beautiful photographs and inspiring knitting Jean - Happy Blogiversary to you!
My feeling is also as Dave's...don't enter me, either, as my stash exceeds my life expectancy.
Happy Blogiversary!
Hi Jean
Congratulations on your blogiversary. Please don't enter me in your draw. I haven't knitted in years so I'll let someone else who would use the yarn win.
Hugs, Rhondi
Happy Blog-a-versary, Jean!
How generous of you to share such lovely yarn with your readers!
Happy blogiversary! Isn't it fun? Aren't you glad you started blogging? Very cool!
Jean, what a generous giveaway....I would love to win some sock yarn. Thanks for inviting me to enter.
My dear Jean,
Happy blogiversary to you! Blogging is such a great way to make friends even if we never meet (but hope to!)
I cherish each of my corresponding blog friends and refer to them as my friend from here and there...when telling my hubby about this or that.
I always love your photos and am thrilled to see the odd palm tree...I think you know already..hee! oh and the knits of course.
You have been a great source of support since my new scary yarn shop opening...thanks a million!
Many more...love A.xx
Happy bogiversary! I would love to win sock yarn. I am addicted to knitting socks!
Look at all the people who showed up to wish you a happy anniversary! It seems hard to believe it's been a year already, but you have a blog full of lovely pictures to prove it! Take Care
Hi Jean,
Happy Blogiversary! Don't the years go by so swiftly.... It always amazes me.
I also have a stash that's out of control, so I will opt out of the drawing, but still wanted to send my best wishes!
Congratulations on your blogiversary. Thank you for a year of pretty, relaxing things to look at and ponder.
What generous and beautiful gifts you've selected. I'll put link on my blog hopefully today.
Happy Blogiversary! Isn't blogging fun and addictive? It's neat to look back and see what you've accomplished. I love your writing and the photos too.
Oh I agree, the Red Heart sock yarn is great. I'm making my 2nd pair with the yarn now, razzle dazzle colorway.

Happy Blogiversary!! Please enter me for Prize #1. Love that Wildefoot! Because I just cut-n-pasted my favorite joke for another contest I'm going to share it with you, too. :)
A man goes to New York City on business. He wants to have a real Big City night on the town, so the concierge at his hotel sends him to a bar at the top of the Empire State Building.
He walks in and orders his usual. He’s getting chatty with the bartender, telling him about the conference, etc. Another patron at the bar overhears that he’s from out of town and comes and sits next to him. “Hey, welcome to our little place. This is the best bar in the whole city!”
“Really? What’s so great about it?”
“Oh, it’s amazing! See that picture on the wall? That’s a genuine Picasso.”
The tourist raises an eyebrow. “Hmm.”
The local guy stands up. “Yeah! And that stool there? At the end of the bar? That’s from a real pirate ship!”
“Okaaay.” At this point the businessman is pretty skeptical. He realizes the local has had more than a little to drink.
“But this! This is the best part! Check out this window. Because of the drafts up the side of this building, if you jump out, you fall about twenty feet. Then the wind catches you and brings you right back up!”
“Ah… right.”
“No, really, I’ll show you!” And the man runs over to the window, throws it open, and leaps out. Sure enough, he falls for a few seconds, then stops in mid-air and comes back up. He pulls himself through the window, stands up, and takes a bow. “You gotta do it!”
The traveller is impressed but nervous, so the man says “Look, dude, I’ll do it again.” Sure enough, he jumps out again. Falls about 20 feet, then the wind catches him and he returns to the level of the window. The businessman grabs his arm and pulls him in.
“Holy cow! I gotta try that!” He leaps out… and falls… and falls….
The bartender just shakes his head. “Superman, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk.”
Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you for stopping by my blog via Ellen. We met last month at the Saturday SnB at the Farmer's Market. You have big poodles & I have a mini doxie and an Akita/Chow mix. I have added you to my reader too.

You have a great blog and I enjoy reading it. And how nice of you to send 2 lucky winners a great present on your anniversary. And if I figure out how to do it I will post a mention on my blog. I am kind of a novice at this blogging stuff. Have a great day and thank you again.
