Things can get way too complicated when you have a thirteen month old. Things like getting up in the morning, going to the bathroom and thinking you can eat a hot meal become, as one of my brothers put it, ‘strangely exciting’.
In light of the fact that things are strangely exciting around Chez Fibreholic on a daily basis, I wanted to offer you a contest that is nice and easy for all of us. You need only do three things to enter this blogiversary contest (and one of those things will result in you getting a double (or more) entry in the draw basket):
- First, send me a comment saying ‘hello’ (or an email in case you’re not interested in setting up on blogger to post a comment. See the right sidebar for my email address). This will earn you one entry;
- Secondly, post about this contest on your blog (or tell your friends if you do not have your own blog) and encourage others to enter;
- Finally, make sure people use your name/blog name when they drop me a note so that I can enter you again! For each mention, you win another entry.
The contest will run from today and right up until midnight on my blogiversary date (August 21, 2008). I/we will draw two names from the prize basket when we are up and at’em the next day (baring strangely exciting disasters, etc.).
There will be two prizes for this contest so Iain gets to make two draws. Yeah! Hints about the booty? Sock yarn and handmade in Nova Scotia mohair…how does that strike you? Naturally, if you win, you will need to share your name and snail mail address via email with me so that I can send you a prize.
Let the games begin…

Well heeeellllloooo.
I'm a sucker for a contest and have absolutely no resistance when yarn is involved. Count me in and I'll be onto step #2 as soon as things are less exciting here at my computer (i.e. 10-month older stops threatening to hit the pretty blue button and turn off my computer)
Count me in! The post will be up on my blog in 30 seconds flat! :)
What fun! Thanks for the contest! I found you from Life of a Busy little Bee! But am adding you to my blog list!
Happy 2nd Blogversary. I can't believe how big Iain is getting! I will post about this on my blog today or tomorrow....not sure when I am posting.
Hello! I came here via Domestic Extraordinaire. Happy Blogiversary!
Hello! A blog contest! Fantastic! I've posted about it on my blog as well as the hello here. :)
Hello! I want to enter!!!!!
Thanks

Count me in I heard about your contest from wilderness witch knits.
Happy blogiversary. I came across your blog and contest through googling so maybe Mr Google deserves an entry :-)
I will post a notice of the contest on my blog and encourage my few readers to come on over.
I love a contest! I heard about your contest from Elaine at elaine-knitting.
My excitement comes from the other end of the age spectrum - my mother who is over 90.
I found out about your contest from EJ. So count me in and I will try to tell others about the contest.
My baby was Iain's age about a day ago and now she is in college! And frankly I miss the days when she loved pounding on my keyboard while I tried to work. We even got her her own keyboard which she could pound on while sitting in her baby seat but mine was always more attractive :-)
I really like your blog:) Iam sick right now so going to see if my toddlers will let me lay down.Hugs Darcy
I'm here from Elaine's blog, and always up for a contest so please enter me too.
I love the flower photo - absolutely gorgeous!
Happy Blogiversary!
I just put a post up about your contest on WiKnit, my knitting contest blog. Best of luck with your contest!
Hello to a fellow Canadian! Thanks for the fun contest. And yes, it does get easier as they get older. Ours are now 3 and 5, and can actually play together for at least 3 minutes before they start fighting.
Happy Blogaversary!

Happy blogiversary!! I hope you get to eat breakfast/hotmeal in peace sometime soon... sometimes its the simple things that really seem like a feat ... :) Enjoy
Congrats on your blog-anniversary. i can imagine you being busy with a 13 month old at home... my youngest is a little bit older (17 months today exactly), and with all the kids home here still, it is hard to find the time to blog more ;-0 Still I hope that this anniversary will be followed by many...in good health!

Hello! I can't even imagine trying to raise a young one. I doubt I'd ever get any fiber arts done while trying to do that :-)
Happy (early) Blogiversary!
