How long?

I started blogging four years ago.

My working life had come to a forced end, I was learning to deal with the reality of my limitations health wise, and you know what?  I was lonely.  Going from a job you absolutely love to suddenly staying at home on your own every day kinda sucks!  I was so relieved to rediscover my passion for sewing and crafting, and so excited to discover a whole online community who were as nuts (about it) as I am!

I found Blogs, I found flickr (sadly missed) and later Instagram, and its all so much fun.  I took part in Quilt alongs, Charm Swaps, I hosted my own Charm Swap, my own Quilt-along, I did an assortment of mini quilt and pillow swaps, the Finish-along, I really got stuck in!

(Tissues out) Quite honestly, my life has been made so much the richer for it all.  For all of you.

Thank you.  

In the back of my head I was always going to see if it lasted 5 years before I did the whole "lets celebrate" jazz hands, but really, the fact that I'm still managing to pop in the odd blog this year astounds me!  I mean, wowza.  Motherhood.  Did not think that was coming at all....  And here we are.  You cheer me on through it all, and I want you to know it's truly appreciated!

So, I've been plotting and planning, and I've come up with this.

The FOUR YEARS / FOUR DAY GIVEAWAY!  

Come back tomorrow for day one...
