100 Posts - its a 100 hour long Party!

Hello!!!

Welcome to my 100 posts party with prizes to boot!

It took me ages to think of something fun to do to celebrate reaching 100 posts, apart from popping the obligatory champagne cork that is!

So without further ado, lets get into it, shall we???


Its a "its nice to meet you, lets get to know each other a bit better" kind of party.

A party that is going to run for 100 hours and at the end of the 100 hours I will announce the prize winners.

As a way to get to know each better, I thought it would be fun if we showed where we blog from.

Here is where I blog from, my little cream bureau in a corner of the dining room.


I love sitting here tapping away at the computer surrounded by my pretties.



The second part of the party is to answer the following 10 questions about yourself, I made it 10 as I thought 100 might be too much!

Ok, so here are my answers to the 10 questions.
  1. Relationship: Married to Babes for 10 years
  2. Children: The Princess age 5, Tom (Koren Homestay Son) age 18.
  3. Pets: Coco the cat (named after Coco Chanel)
  4. Age: 42 but I am very immature for my age!
  5. Star Sign: Libra
  6. Fave Food: Sushi
  7. Fave Drink: Champagne
  8. House Decor Style: Vintage Clutter!
  9. Collections: Roses, Cherubs, Vintage Linens, Vintage Evening Bags
  10. How Did You Get Into Blogging: I accidentally stumbled across a blog while searching for something to do with Cath Kidston and spent months lurking around blogs before taking the plunge.
Because its my party, I am going to give away some prizes.

This gorgeous make up bag is the main prize, to enter to win all you have to do is link up to the party and post on your blog. I will do a random draw at the end of the 100 hours.


I am also going to give away one of these paper doll dresses which will be drawn randomly from the leave a comment section of this post.


And just to mix it up even more, if you are the 10th person to link and join the party then you get a paper doll dress and if by some chance the links reach 100, I'll throw in another gorgeous prize for that 100th person.


Please join the party so that we can get to know you better. All you have to do is click on Mister Linky below to join up.

Michele said...

Congratulations on your 100th post! I found your blog through Notes From An Evil Overlord's blog. I love your idea for a celebration party!! I don't have a blog, but I thought I'd answer your get to know you questions anyway.

Relationship: single

Children: none yet

Pets: Chopper, my little furbaby that I've had for 19 years. She lives with my parents because my apartment doesn't allow pets.

Age: 38

Star Sign: Sagitarious

Fave Food: pizza and cereal (not at the same meal!)

Fave Drink: Crystal Light Lemonade

House Decor Style: Living room is currently beachy, but no where near as beachy and cottagey as I'd like. I'm doing my bedroom in a shabby chic pink and white and cremes style. My bathroom is blue and white shabby chic.

Collections: angels, birds, birdhouses, shells

How Did You Get Into Blogging: I was a 4th grade school teacher and was injured on the job. It let to a chronic pain condition called RSDS, the most painful of all pain conditions. There is currently no cure. I was rated 100% disabled and spent the next year almost completely bedridden. When I was finally able to sit up again for any length of time, I bought a laptop so I could use it in my bed. I discovered scrapbooking message boards first, then got invited into a private online group. When one of them started blogging, it was the first time I'd heard about it. I even had my own blog called Butterfly Whispers for an extremely brief time. I may start one again soon. So, I started loving scrapbooking blogs and just recently discovered these cottage blogs. I'm hooked!!!

I hope it was okay that I answered these questions here since I don't have an active blog. I look forward to reading yours and getting to know you better.

Again, happy 100th post!!!!!

Michele
