Drumroll please.............
I am writing my 100th blog post. Can you believe it?!?! It's been 7 months since I created Harper Valley and I've enjoyed every moment. I wasn't quite sure why I started a blog, but I am very sure about why I've carried on. My blog has become a way to share my artsy projects, an avenue for staying in touch with family/friends, and a pretty kewl means of documenting my life.
Before my blog bursts at the seams with data, I'd like to convert it into a book. Maybe my future spawn will read it one day and get a kick out of it. Who knows? Check out Blurb to see how you can make a blog book too.
So how do you like my Wordle? That's the word cloud you see above. I typed all 100 of my blog post titles into the Wordle text box and look what came out! The program automatically ranks the words based on frequency, so the larger the word...the more I've used it in my post titles. I found it interesting that "day" was the most prominent word. Seems pretty apropos since my blog is full of a-day-in-the-life stories.
As a way to say ~thanks~ to you...my loyal blog supporters, I'm giving away a soldered marble necklace charm, handmade by my friend, Amanda. The charm is an orange speckled marble complete with a steel cable choker. Enjoy more of Amanda's creations at her shop on Etsy.
To win this whimsical and unique jewelry piece, post a comment below and I'll pick a winner at random (using random.org) on Wednesday, May 6th at 8pm EDT. Be sure to complete the email/blog field so I'll know how to reach you.
Thank you for allowing me to share my DAYS with you!!! =)

*UPDATED 5/6/08: The winner of this lovely charm necklace is.....Janet Kornegay! I know. I know. She's my sister. I swear this is not rigged! I used random.org to generate a winner and created the list based on the order the comments were received. But don't despair! Through a course of interesting events, I just so happen to have an extra marble charm and it may have your name on it. So check back soon for another drawing!
