I began my blogging adventure back in 2004, and this many years later I'm still having an awful lot of fun with it. It's amazing to me that so many of you will take time out of your day to visit and see what's up in this crazy family of mine, or perhaps check to see if – by some remote chance – I've posted something stitching-related. (I actually do that sometimes!)
Two years ago I made the move from my Xanga blog to this one, and to celebrate the anniversary of my "new" blog, I will once again be giving away 5 Plum Street Samplers charts to a random commenter to this post. (Deep breaths, Mom. I realize commenter isn't a real word.)
Here's the don'tcha-know:
1. Simply leave a comment under this post.
2. One entry per person, please!
3. The winner may choose 5 currently-released Plum Street Samplers charts.
Here are some examples…
The winner will be announced on Wednesday!
And speaking of charts, I have to interject a quick correction to the information for Olga: The model info states that I stitched her over 1 linen thread. Not so! (I run for the hills when I see "over one thread," bc these eyes of mine can't manage it on their own any more.) I stitched it over 2 threads, and I'd like to thank Bonnie for asking the question, "Did you really stitch that over one thread? I'm impressed!" Sorry to disappoint you, Bonnie. I promise I'll design something for over one thread soon, but it will have to be on 8 count fabric.
Thank you again, with all my heart, for being such kindhearted readers. Your warm comments and sweet emails mean so much, and I'm very happy to have made so many new friendships through this blog of mine.
If you decide to enter, good luck!

Happy two-year birthday, Plum Street Samplers!!!
I really love your blog. I came here almost a year ago because of some stitching-related article (can’t remember anymore), then subscribet to RSS and started to read all your posts. And just fell in love with your supper-happy family!
Thanks for sharing all those sunny (and not so sunny) days with your loyal readers!
Christina J.
Happy blog birthday! I really enjoy reading your blog. 🙂

Happy Bloggy Birthday!!! Your blog is my absolute favorite to read. I love your designs but I also love reading about your wonderful family. I still go back to the post about buying shoes for your Mother-in-Law when I need a good laugh. Mike’s sense of humor never fails to get a laugh out of me.
I’m so happy you posted the correction on Olga. I have wanted that chart so badly but was afraid if I stitched it over two it would be too large. My 49 year old eyes don’t handle over one very well.
You, your designs and your family are a huge blessing to me.
Say “hi” to Sophie for me.

Margie
Congratulations on your Anniversary!
I started my blog one year ago and this is how I come to find you. I cross stitch and started reading blogs, I must say … your blog is my favorite, I have it saved under “my favorites” and read each day. I like how you change your background from time to time and seeing your family. The one posting that stands out in my mind is your mother-in-law Frieda and the snow falling on her when the sunroof was opened. I feel like I am watching Sophie grow up…what a neat child. Your girls are beautiful girls. What else do I say…you have an awesome family. To also have a husband/father so into his “girls”…well, I say you just cannot beat that. Now…your cross stitching patterns…I love many of them but your Hare freebies I just think are the neatest.
So, long story short…keep up the great work and I can’t live without your blog.
Happy Blogging Anniversary!!!!!!
CRISTINA
Congratulations, I really enjoy reading your blog.

Happy 2 year anniversary, Paulette! The pleasure of following your blog is mine–not only do I love your designs, I also think you are an awesome gal–one with a wonderful sense of humor and loads of kindness.

Hi Paulette.
Congrats on the milestone!!
Although I’m bad about not regularly posting comments, I’m another who so enjoys reading your posts. With you, we’ve shared your joys and sorrows.
Your family is so amazing–what a great time you all have together. Several of my fondest blog memories are when Sophie dressed herself up (years ago) to fight off some kind of bug (think she was even wearing goggles)and Mike and his crazy antics. (I’ve decided on second thought I can’t limit that to just one or two.)
It has been great to see you blossom as a designer. I’d love to win some of your wonderful designs.
Keep up the wonderful work with your family, designs, and your blog.
Sahara
Happy Anniversary to your “new” blog, Paulette! It’s always a joy to read you!
