Trivia Time, Giveaway Winners Announced, and a Sale!

Wow – what a week!
I want to thank you all again for sharing in the fun
for my blog birthday celebration.
You linked up, you commented, you entered giveaways – 
you provided giveaway prizes, you wrote guest posts…
YOU made it fun!
I want to welcome any new visitors to my blog also.
I hope you’ll drop in to visit often, and
A special thanks to those of you have been following
me since my first few posts.  It’s been a joy
getting to know you.

Here’s some silly trivia about Knick of Time:
*My very first post on July 9th, 2011 had no comments…for 7 months!
I admit…it was a terribly boring post!

*My second post got no comments at all!
It was about the transformation of this side table.
  
*The very first comment on my blog came from an anonymous person I couldn’t respond to (no blog).
*The first person with a blog who commented was Liz @ Brambleberry Cottage – love you Liz!

 *My first blog “spotlight” came from Karen @ The Graphics Fairy – I sent her
some images that she posted on her blog and I offered a giveaway of
1800’s magazine pages and she mentioned it – I got something like 30 followers from that!
Here’s the first of several of my graphics she posted on her blog (she edited it):

Of those who entered that giveaway – 2 are still regular commenters:
Honey @ 2805 & Linda @ A La Carte – thanks gals!!!

When I posted about this chair I made over with an antique seed bag, Terry @ Forever Decorating noticed the bag is from her town, commented and we discovered
we live in the same area – we finally met last month.  What a pleasure that was!

*The first furniture project I posted about that finally got a lot of comments
was on this antique buffet that I refurbished.  39 comments – I was thrilled!

My most commented on project to date was my “ladies room”.
121 Comments!  Donna @ Funky Junk featured it on her Facebook
page, which always brings lots of visitors – thanks Donna and the
many other blogs that featured my bathroom!

Okay – enough trivia!!

I’ve made a last minute decision to extend the entry deadline
since those were the last 2 giveaways offered and there wasn’t as much time
to enter.  I’ll announce the winners of those on Saturday.
The entries are still pretty low for these, so get in on them fast – you could win!
Upcoming Giveaway  

Before I announce the winners of the other 5 giveaways,
I want to share a special sale with you!

auctions because my workshop and office are disasters

easier and to make room for new stuff, the following items are priced to move fast!
