Over Six Hundred Posts!! How did that happen!?
Well, however it happened, I'm glad it did! I like looking back and if I didn't have this blog I'd have to rely on my memory. That would not be a good thing!
As I mentioned the other day I think 600 posts is something to celebrate so I'm going to ~ by having a Giveaway!!!
Sooooo.....for your giveaway pleasure I have this very nice book called Beatrix Potter ~ A Journal. It's full of beautifully illustrated pages along with photographs and journaling. There are maps to unfold, letters to open and flaps to lift. 
There's even a "locket" with family photos inside!
But my very favorite part of this "book" is the tiny book ~ hidden away ~ under a flap ~ inside the back cover. It's the sweetest little book ~ The Tale of Peter Rabbit ~ and it has the cutest little black & white illustrations in it!
Okay down to business......
First of all, remember you can enlarge the photos for a better look by clicking on them!
Secondly this is a pretty simple giveaway.
Comment on this post and you'll get one entry.
Post about my giveaway on your blog for a second chance.
That's it ~ up to two chances to win!
It's a very nice book!
I'll announce the winner next Monday, May 17th.
Oh and look ~ I've been working on my flower beds.They're coming along nicely!

Congratulations on 600 posts! I'm a reader of blogs, not a blogger, and I'm not even sure if I've read 600 posts, let alone written them. It definitely sounds like a lot.
I'm so excited about your wonderful giveaway b/c Beatrix Potter is my absolute favorite children's book author. A few years ago, I also saw a film about her life, which was so enlightening, called "Miss Potter". I'd love to delve deeper and learn more about her and her writing and art. Thank you! thorandellie[at]gmail[dot]com
