Back in July of 2006 I started this blog, I was prompted to do so by my son. I thought, at that time, that I didn't have much to say and wondered what I would ever post about... imagine! Here we are, nearly four and a half years and 9oo posts later, I guess there was plenty to share! Since the conception of this blog I've "met" many incredible, generous, fellow bloggers and our family has been blessed over, and over, and over again! I can never thank you enough for all of your kind comments, support, and friendship along the way. In celebration of abounding blessings and this, my 900th post, I will be hosting a small give-away to one commenter. I will have Mason draw out the lucky name on Monday, all names/comments need to be submitted by midnight Sunday. Good luck, and thanks again for dropping by The Strawberry Patch and sharing in life from my little corner of the world: quilts, projects, ideas, family, precious grandchildren, and a dachshund...one post at a time! I am deeply grateful.
Life is Good!

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more beautiful than photos of babies, children, pets and family. so, I'm wondering...wouldn't that hospital let Hans hop in the bed for the group photo, too?
