Are blog years something like dog years? My blog is 3 years old…is that like a toddler or a 21 dog-year old dog? My 3 year blogiversary was May 1st. Sorry Dear Blog, I forgot. Maybe instead of thinking of the blog as a human or an animal, I should think of it as a relationship.

 I suppose I should pause and reflect on the 378 posts and the 24 tutorials created during these 3 years. (24 tutorials people! Holy schmoly, go check them out in the sidebar for pete’s sake.) But it’s not about all that, it’s about you guys. You are the blog! You are the ones I think of when I come here to share a photo, a project, a story. You are the ones that inspire me with your comments and kind words. 
So, how ’bout a little show of appreciation, eh? In honor of the Big Three, I’m giving away a signed copy of my newest book, Sewing Green! To win, please comment on this post by midnight EST Wednesday 5/27/09. In your comment, tell me what kinds of things you enjoy seeing here on my blog. More of something? Less of something? Now’s your chance to speak up! I will randomly select a winner. Flattery will get you no where, but no need to hold back. 🙂 Please leave your email or a way for me to contact you if your name is chosen.
In the meantime, I’ve been doing a little housekeeping, like refreshing my blog header. What do you think? (Those sweet little nests are popping  up all over. I think they are just the ticket for teacher gifts this year!) Hopefully you will be seeing more refreshing changes around here soon. Aside from an upcoming blog and website redesign (thank you hubby) I am working on two new big exciting projects! Details coming soon…
