Happy Bloggoversary To Me! (and a giveaway, of course)


(Sing this to the tune of Happy Birthday:)

Happy bloggoversary to me,
Happy bloggoversary to meee,
Happy bloggo-VER-sary dear meeee-eeeeeee,
Happy bloggoversary to me!

Hip hip hooray! It's exactly one year since I started this blog. One whole year, who'd have thunk it? And it seems very appropriate that I should return to the blogosphere after such a long Christmas break, for this very auspicious occasion. Happy bloggoversary to me!

This might ordinarily be a perfect time to muse over the past 12 months, sifting for jewels, searching for patterns, examining the dry dusty remains of the last 365 days. Theorising. Postulating. Resolving. A lot of blogs are doing just that at this time of year.

However, I have absolutely NO desire to do that here today. None at all. Not one iota of desire. Desire, I don't even know who you are - get away from me before I call the cops.

It's because 2009 was truly a rubbish year, for all sorts of reasons. Oh, there were definitely highlights, and I will sift, search and examine those in due course. But I have no wish to recap the rubbish reasons here, so you will just have to take my word for it. 2010 will be better, I'm sure, simply by virtue of not being 2009. Let us hope it's so.

I have lots of things to talk about over the next few days ... far too many to fit into this single post. Plus, then they would get in the way of the GIVEAWAY-GIVEAWAY-GIVEAWAY which I must include in honour of my bloggoversary. Christmas might be over but the gifts are still coming!

Once again, it's a super surprise (could this be because I haven't quite figured out what the prize will be? Again?  Hm .... methinks it could). It could be many things:
  • it could be fabric, or a pattern, or both
  • it could be a Hoot
  • it could be a Catticus
  • it could be a tote bag
  • or pencilroll
  • or cushion
  • or unexpected knitted item
So you'll just have to enter to find out!

The rules are simple - if you're already a follower, I love you. You just need to leave a comment here letting me know what you like best about my blog and you're in the draw. If you're not a follower, join up and leave a comment letting me know what you like best about my blog, and I will love you and put you in the draw. Blog about my giveaway on your own blog, and you get two entries (just make sure to put a link in your comment so I can see it).

I'll draw this randomly in 10 days time - the 15th of January - and I will post ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! So come on, let me know what you really think!
