Celebration! 100 posts giveaway!( And some cute books I got today...)

It is my 100th post today...quite fitting, since I had a Brown Owls meeting last night which was what got me started on this whole blogging caper.

I celebrated by going to Kinokuniya and buying myself a couple of things:

Image from here.

The first book was to help me with my English piecing, and the second book was bought because it's cute! It came with a free tote bag to embellish, when I saw that, I was sold!

Anyway, to celebrate my 100th post I'm hosting a giveaway. In the vein of a few that I've seen lately, this is a surprise giveaway! Let's just say that it will be full of cute things that you shall enjoy. It is open to international readers as well, as I'm feeling generous!

*Edit: I forgot to add, as I was so excited...just post a comment on this post and I will include you in the giveaway entries...also, if you post a link back to my blog, you will get a second entry into the giveaway! Fun!*

**The giveaway will be drawn on Monday June 8th as a tie-in with SEWN being launched and their Blog Party. Go check it out, it looks like super fun!

Hi - congratulations on 100th post. I'm very new to blogging - you can see my efforts at ellaandizzy.blogspot.com

Keep the blog going - look forward to reading the 200th post!
