Welcome to Chez B. The Saint and I enjoy a bit of company and like to laugh-a-lot. Thank you for coming.
Over the past couple of years you may have met the fam, friends and pets or witnessed the creation of a few crafty projects both good and bad. It's been a great opportunity for me to crawl out and make some new friends. I appreciate all of you and would like to give a lucky person a little reward.
The Prize:
A spring-y notions wallet made by me and a skein of Tofutsies (toe-foot-sies) yarn for your knit/crochet pleasure. The yarn is Chitin fiber made from shrimp and crab shells and is said to be natually antibacterial. I can imagine a nice pair of either of these footies made with this pretty yarn. A couple small things will be included to get your notions wallet started my mother has always told me you never give someone an empty wallet.
How to Win:
Leave a comment on my 200th post (that would be THIS ONE) and you could be the winner of a nice prize! I'll give a # to everybody who comments by noon EDT Friday, April 17. The Saint will pick a #, and that commentor will be the lucky winner.
3 Ways you can get a #...leave a comment (1 entry) , post a link on your blog to my contest post and come back and let me know you posted (2nd entry) or magic-link me anywhere on Ravelry with a mention of my 200th blog post and come back and let me know you did it (3rd possible entry). That's 3 ways to win a nice yarny prize from my smoke-free stash and a hand made notions wallet.
And who doesn't like free stuff? Remember to comment on the contest post - Monday, April 13th - Friday, April 17th. Which also coincides with my vacation, hehehe.
Hey Grace! Sorry, the chicken experiment didn't include a can of beer. We're talking serious state bbq contest practice here, lots of different seasoning mixtures and lots of chicken eating.
2 of the 4 judges haven't given their results yet so we're waiting...hopefully we'll know this evening which of the 4 varieties they chose. One thing for sure no one will be wanting for grilled or smoked chicken or ribs around here between now and July 25th, LOL.
Everybody have a great week!

P.S. Congratulations On Your 200th post:)
The notions wallet is so amazing and pretty.
Happy 200th post! Have a relaxing, knitty evening.
I discovered your blog through a link at Aunt Kathy's place. You have a very nice place, and your contest prizes look awesome!
Such a gorgeous pouch and can't go wrong with Tofutsies.
Count me in- found this through WiKnit. :D
Congrats on 200! What a great accomplishment. (I've reached my 1 yr anniversary and have managed all of about 8 posts! LOL)
Hi there, Aunt Kathy told me about this so, here I am. I will indeed be putting something on my blog about your grand contest!
Love the wallet. Truly. Right now, I have this weird baggy thing in my purse. Anyway, cool things.
Oh, and I did blog about your great contest. You can find the link here.
Happy Vacation! I just got back from my holidays. I knit up a whole hemlock ring blanket!! I've never, ever knit with tofutsies before - it sounds delish! :)
And, I learned how to Magic Link in Ravelry . . . It is almost more complicated than Magic Loop!
Anyway, you are magic linked on the Crooked River Guild Forum (Crooked River is what Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga County translates to). here.
What a beautiful wallet. You are very talented!
Count me in, please! Congrats on your 200th post.
Oh, a contest!
I've never tried Tofutsies - not many places seem to sell it in Missouri. :)
what a great giveaway.
congratulations on your 200th post!
That is a super-cute bag! (and the yarn is pretty awesome too!) I hope this counts as an entry!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks!

Cool loot! Count me in! Happy 200th :)
Congrats on 200 posts! If I should win, one of the starter items I'd like to find in the wallet would be some of your talent.
I'm not really bothered about 'winning' I'm just amused that someone else was told by their mother never to give anyone a wallet that's empty! Have fun with the contest (the wallet is nifty, bts) and good luck everyone
Count me in. Happy 200th!
How cute - I'm definitely in... :)
the yarn is awesome, and i looove the wallet! great giveaway!
I know I am too lake for the contest, but I just found you through Kitten. What a fun blog. And your collections. I do believe I will be following you. I need more knitters on my list.
Never heard of that yarn with shrimp. Isn't it amazing what they can make yarns and fabrics out of today? We could all be green in a few years.
I'm in too! Congrats!
