I stumbled across this on Terri‘s blog and thought….why not?
Welcome to new visitors!
You’ve landed in my little corner of the web. I have been blogging for about nine years sharing bits and pieces of my hobbies and the odd dog picture.
I am forty-something, married to a marvelous man and have two kids that are aging *much* faster than I am 
My daughter, K, will graduate from Arizona State University this spring and my son, Z, started high school last fall. We’ve got three miniature schnauzers: Greta, Nero & Duchess and have lived in Mesa, Arizona for 15+ years. My husband and I both work for a large financial services firm here in Phoenix. We don’t leave home without it
Hobby-wise you’ll find a lot of cross-stitching, a little knitting, counted canvas (very recent), chain mail (also pretty recent) and someday wool applique and quilting. I have plenty of stash, but not enough time or space right now to get those last two going.
I’m also a big reader and enjoy tv shows and movies. There’s some fun widgets on the sidebar there that will give you an idea of what captures my interest!
Today I happen to be off to a get-together out of town, but I’m looking forward to visiting other blogs when get home.
You are welcome to come in and explore!
Oh! Almost forgot…. a “Welcome Giveaway”

I’m not a newbie to your blog but have been reading for a couple of years now. I’ve seen the chain mail on other blogs but no picture of what it was. So it’s was nice to put a picture with it.
I’ve always been interested in chain mail jewelry, I’d love to be included! Love your blog!
I’m not a “newbie” either, but I tend to lurk, so I figured now was as good a time as any to say something!! I love the chain mail, please put my name in the hat…
I am a newbie so far I am enjoying what I see.
Love the look of chainmail, I’ve made 1 necklace so far. But really struggled to get the ring joins smooth.
Annette I’d love to be entered in your giveaway! I love chainmaille!
I’m sorry your signals got crossed
I would love to be entered into your giveaway! It’s super chic and cute! I’ll post about it too.

Hi Annette, nice to meet you. The chain mail bracelet is beautiful, I’d love a chance to win
I love those style bracelets but have not tried to make one…they look so complicated…maybe I will win your drawing then I won’t have to try to make it!
