Anniversary Celebration Surprise Giveaway #1

To celebrate our one year blogging anniversary,  we will be giving away a few special gifts to a few of our readers.

Today's giveaway is going to one of our special supporters,   Carol Anderson from The Firecracker Kid.

Carol was our first supporter and has the distinction of being our most prolific post commenter.    Comments are very important to our blog because they let us know how we are doing,  if you like the things we are posting about,  and gives us a sense of community.

Congratulations and Thank you,  Carol.   This special patriotic pillow will be on it's way to you as soon as you email us with your shipping address.
