I've met some of the nicest, most interesting people thanks, in no small part, to Al Gore and the invention of the Internet - more specifically, blogging. Joining in with Vicki (from 2 Bags Full) and HUNDREDS more (literally) international bloggers, on the GROW YOUR BLOG PARTY. Look around here, and then join me over THERE, for more reading fun, and possibly picking up a new "friend" or two of your own, along the way!
Coinciding with the posting of my free FABRIC POTHOLDER TUTORIAL (click on the link, or find it on my sidebar to the right, there), I'm hosting the "I LOVE a Good Party! Giveaway"...win yourself the set of 4 potholders shown (yep, made by me), and two "rockin'" Valentine cookie cutters.
Entry is simple - LEAVE A COMMENT, on this post. ANYONE CAN ENTER (with the exception of those pesky spammers, that show up daily, from "Louis Vuitton" and "Bear Grylls"...sure, you're Bear Grylls!). NO NEED TO BE A FOLLOWER, NOR A BLOGGER - a simple comment is all you need to enter. If you are not a blogger, please make sure your comment includes an email address, or contact method. Giveaway winner will be drawn February 1st.
Thanks to VICKI for giving us all the chance to stumble upon a new blog or two...or tons! I'm assuming her lovely knitting fingers are gnarled into little fists now, from the sheer amount of names entered on her blog party list. Don't let it be for naught...put that list to good use in some spare moment you might have during your busy day. As for me, I add to my blog on a fairly timely basis..."Travel Tuesday" meandered through Taos, NM this week, and I am usually up to trying my hand at something creative. Thanks for visiting...will be hitting the blog list myself, in hopes of meeting some new friends of my own. Leave your comment for the giveaway below, and Happy Saturday -
PARTY ON, WAYNE...PARTY ON, GARTH!

Hi Tanya. Your blog is so full of interesting things. I believe that a kitchen can never have too many potholders. Never thought about making my own, but I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you get a ton of followers!
What a fun blog post. Glad to meet you :-)

Vicki's "Grow Your Blog Party" is really HUGE! It is fun to see you participated. I am happy that I already found you and your blog. Party on dear...
Very cute!! And thanks for the tutorial...this is such a good idea...come visit me sometime!!
Those look like awesome potholders. I may have to try your pattern.
Wow, what a great giveaway. This has been such a fun blog party. I hope you have lots of new followers. Sea Witch
Tanya, love your breezy style of writing, and please make sure I win those potholders! I'll be visiting you again soon. And thanks for stopping by my little blog in Salida.
Hi, Tanya! Thanks for visiting The Modest Peacock earlier! Happy GYB Day!!! :D Your giveaway is amazing! Hope you have a MARVELOUS weekend and I will see you around the blogosphere soon, my dear!
glad to meet you and what a wonderful giveaway
Enter me too!!! I know, I know I can sew and can make my own but you do such amazing work!! And I love your fabric!!! :O) Love you sis!! Good luck to all entered!!
Thanks for stopping by Bird Lady Blog http://birdladyblog.blogspot.com
Your potholders are very nice. They would be perfect for my daughter who just moved into her very first apartment today. What a wonderful house warming gift they would make!
Lovely giveaway! I had no idea Al Gore had anything to do with the inventions of Internet. Internet has been around since 1960. It was developed by the Defense Research Project Agency and Al was just 12 at that time. The only thing that I put Al Gore together with is the silly movie about global warming. After all he is a politician and likes to claim to many things as his own.
If you could see the condition of my potholders, you'd CHEAT an stop the give-away with my "entry"!
Seriously, thanks for the chance - and good luck with growing your blog :)
Hello Tanya,
What a wonderful way to meet like minded women. So glad that Vicki "Grow Your Blog"has gone to such an effort to showcase so many blogs. Creative and generous...Your work is so creative and inspiring.

Lovely giveaway! I am thinking that you should be hired by the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce...your more recent blog entry is a fabulous intro to the city! I had the good fortune to visit back in high school with my parents, but I would love to see it again at greater length.
Always fun to visit and learn along with your blog. That food looked so good it gave me heartburn!

Tanya,
Thanks for stopping by via the party.
I appreciate your kind words about my knitting.
I just loved reading about Santa Fe and looking at all the gorgeous photographs. Such a great blog, can't wait to return. Dude, the potholders are great!
Your small town photos are super great. Beautiful flowers and art. I have never been to this part of the USA. Lovely gift. Hugs Judy
Fun! So happy to be your newest follower. Great blog and I love seeing the travels and pics. Refreshing.

Hi Tanya and thank you for joining the Grow Your Blog Party. I'm still making my way through the list of great blogs. I want to visit all of them if I can. Your photographs of the various cities in New Mexico are fantastic. It's been years since I've been there but I always enjoy the quality of the artwork and the scenery.
Keep up the great work and your sense of humor in your writing.
