Okay, loyal blog peeps, I've come up with an idea to celebrate my fourth Birthblogday! Woo-hoo! Here's the thing though: I don't have very much time this week. And what does that mean?
Well, first of all, let's keep it kind of low key. I'm certainly not going to ask you to post it on your blog, become a follower, or otherwise advertise on my behalf. I'd rather just make this about you guys--the peeps who come back here day after day and read whatever I may have to say.
I'll just keep this open two days unless something crazy happens and I have no time to pick winners on Tuesday night. But I should. Hubby's having some fairly minor surgery on Tuesday, so I won't be working late--at least I don't think I will. Winners will be picked late Tuesday night and posted on my Wednesday blog post.
The prizes? First place is a kit to make the Bette Bunny wallhanging--it contains everything you'll need except the binding. I should also mention that the fabric for the yo-yo flowers in the kit is slightly different, but the rest is the same.
I spent some time today putting together a couple kits for my Etsy shop, and I'm setting one aside for the celebration. Second place? Well, the second place winner can either pick a Bette Bunny pattern or a Spring! pattern. If you click over to my Etsy shop HERE, you can see them both (Spring! is also in my sidebar). Or, there are a couple other patterns there, if the second place winner prefers one of those.
And if there are a lot of entries, I'll pick a third place winner who will get the same offer as the second place winner. What are a lot of entries? Well, let's say if there are over 75, okay?
And I'm not even going to make you stand on your head or tell me how much you love me. Just leave a comment. And come back and see if you've won--because I won't email you to let you know--I like to make you come back and visit again. I'm funny that way.
At the start of this post I mentioned I'm not going to have much time this week. So the other thing that means is that I might not be able to post every night like I normally do. Or I might post from work in the middle of the night to say I'd rather be chatting with you but I'm working instead. I know you'll understand. And hopefully this week will be the last crazy one for awhile. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay? Do that right after you leave a comment so I can enter you in the giveaway. Thanks, as always, for stopping by to visit.
COMMENTS CLOSED--WINNERS WILL BE DRAWN AND ANNOUNCED SOON.

Happy Birthblogday! Well I really like your blog! I usually read it when I am in my bed waiting for sleep to overcome me. (Of course, I am in Australia so this post I am reading on my Monday night.) Like right now. My husband is busy snoring alongside me and I am surfing. I will miss you this week, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Love your giveaway. I follow you with Google reader so I never miss a post. Spring needs to come faster here in my area.

I retired 3 years ago, and reading about your lengthy workdays last week really confirmed to me that I like retirement better! I love your blog and read whatever you write.
Fingers are crossed for you.
Good luck to Hubby.

Your blog and a hot cup of coffee is how I start my days. I have to agree with the comments that everyone before me posted. I laugh at the job and the quilting and the amount that you get done inspires me. I hope hubby does well with surgery.
Happy Blog birthday!!!!
Happy Blogbirthday and thanks for the chance at a giveaway. Sorry about your hectic work week, I am going the extra long hours thing right now too. But every birthday I have reminds me I am one year closer to retirement and sewing whenever I want. (Not getting up at 4:00am to get some sewing in) Thanks for all of your posts on your blog, they are the first thing I read in the morning and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Happy Anniversary Kimmy! I've enjoyed every post over the last 4 years and I'm looking forward to many more. I've started many mornings off with a good chuckle thanks to you. :)
Happy Anniversary, love your spring and bunny patterns, just too cute. Fabulous giveaway.
Good morning Kim,
I am sorry you are having to work so much over-time, but the extra money will be fun to spend. Keep us updated on hubby's surgery. He will be in my thoughts.
I would love to be entered in your give away. Thanks for thinking of us.
Happy birthblogday!! Bette Bunny would be perfect for my Easter decorating, but then I've been thinking about Spring! I'd love to win any of your patterns. Thanks for the giveaway. I hope you get enough sleep this week!
Happy 4th BirthBLOGday!!! I hope your husbands surgery goes well. Maybe your work life will calm down soon also. Did you end up with at least one good night sleep this weekend? I hope so! I check your blog every morning while my son is eating his breakfast. Love it!! Happy Day !!!! ;>
Hi Kim! I read your blog every day. I own the Spring! pattern already, so the bunny kit would be a very nice addition. I'm hoping to make the Spring! wallhanging this week (at least start it!). Congratulations on your 4 years of blogging!
Thanks for a chance to win and for keeping it simple. Good luck to your husband.
Happy 4th BirthBlogday! We all love you even when you tell us we don't have to tell you! Hope the surgery goes well and your work days start to slow down.
