500th Post!

Happy 500th Post!

Uh, does having 500 posts really matter? Nope! Is my blog really that popular where 500 posts mean anything? Of course not! But am I going to give away a prize anyway? Heck yes! So leave a comment and I'll draw a random number from 1 to n (n being the total number of unique comment leavers) and the winner will get to pick their prize. Seriously. I'll make anything you want. (And not only will I make it, but I'll actually send it to you. Whoa.) You want a candy corn banner? Done. You want some felt finger puppets? Done. You want some ties and suspenders for your boys? Done.

And lest you think I'm so egotistical to think everyone wants something I make, well, how about this: If you want nothing I make, I'll send you another non-handmade-by-me gift. How's that? Of course I can't promise that you'll like it. I won't promise that it'll be unlike Let's Make a Deal's goat gifts, but a non-handmade gift ye shall receive.

Anyway, leave a comment before Monday (so uh 11:59 EDT on Sunday night) and I'll draw the winner early next week. Wish me a happy trip to New York City whilst I wish you good luck!

P.S. The Fine Italicized Print: I'll make anything within reason. I probably won't make you a quilt, unless you want a quilt for your dolls. Or a quilt for your daughter's dolls. Or your son's dolls. (I won't judge.) Let's just agree to not take advantage of me, okay? Also, I won't make anything that'll cost too much to send (or make, for that matter). For example, I'm not making you an abacus nor a sandbox, not even if you live close. I'm thinking $25 is reasonable. Also, if I don't know you, please leave an email address in your comment. Not that I think too many strangers read my lame-o blog. Sheesh--all this fine print!

  1. Your mother believes inherently in nepotism. Therefore, she should win...hands down! To the rest of those who read Erin's blog, please, please don't make a comment so Erin's mom will be the only entrant and, thereby, the winner!!!

    Thank you, thank you...Erin's mom (and the first entrant...since it's only about 8:00 PM here in Japan!!!)

  4. I, too, have oodles of ideas of things I want you to make or do for me: from hemming pants, to a cute skirt for my girls. Sad that you won't do the abacus. Sigh. Have FUN!!!!!!!!!! (Sorry, Erin's mom...)

  6. Congrats on your 500th post!! That is a lot- way to go :) I would LOVE to win this prize because you are oh so talented!! If I were to be so lucky as to win, I'd love to have you make me/Elise some felt play food (I think you pinned some of this on pinterest the other day if I'm not mistaken.)

    Have so much fun on your kid free weekend in NY!! Can't wait to hear your re-cap all about it :)

  7. Ooh - pick me! pick me! Too bad you're not willing to make a quilt for me . . . I have a stack of fabric sitting here waiting for me to turn it into a new bedspread for Alia's new room! I could come up with any number of other tings though :-)

  8. Oh, I want this sooo badly! I wish I had your sewing skills, but I don't. :( Plus, we are moving home this summer, so if I win you don't have to ship it anywhere! See, it is a win, win situation!

  9. Yay! Happy 500! That's a pretty big accomplishment! Congrats! (Excuse my excessive exclamation points but as a fairly new blogger thinking about 500 posts is exciting.)

  10. Wow 500 is kind of a big deal! And you have mad skills I'd take anything you made even if I couldn't use it. :)

  11. I have some catching up to do on your blog, I can't believe you've already reached 500! I've always thought those suspenders and bow ties Rhett wears are so adorable and would love for Judah to sport them. But then again I've always wanted to make a litte purse and I know how good at that you are. Oh decisions, I just hope I win!!
