It’s been seven years since I started this blog. At least that’s what the WordPress message told me this morning. I had lost count and had no idea it had been seven years. So let us have a little party. Have a slice of cake and celebrate with me. Another reason for celebration–All you wonderful blogging buddies. Without your support, I wouldn’t still be blogging away. Thank you! ❤
All my books will be free on Kindle for the upcoming 2014 Thanksgiving holiday. Beginning on Thanksgiving day and running through the weekend. (November 27, 28, and 29) Just a little thank you. 🙂
Don’t have a Kindle, download the free Kindle for your computer.
Wow! Seven years…congratulations, Elizabeth! I’ve only been blogging for a little over two years and I can’t imagine making it to seven.
Thanks for the book offers…I’m putting it on my calendar this time. 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! xo
Thanks Jill. Only two years and look how far you’ve come. You have one of the most popular blogs out there. Mine just kind of sat here for a while. I’d post once in a while, but didn’t have likes enabled and was really bad about keeping things up around here. So I’m kind of amazed I’ve lasted this long. 😀 Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving as well.
You’ve definitely have the staying power, Elizabeth. I waffle every week… will this be my last post? 😦 Your kind words and those of others keep me going.
Thanks, Cynthia and welcome to the party! I think blogs last, at least I hope they do. I’d sure hate to lose some of my favorites–yours included. I’m looking forward to coming to your blog anniversary party. 😀 Hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving day.
Congratulations on 7 years! As someone who started blogging about a year ago I don’t think I even knew what a blog was 7 years ago! 🙂 And thanks for the book offer, look forward to reading!
LOL. Well I barely knew what one was. My 12 year old son told me I needed a blog because I was out of touch. And once again another very cool blog name. I never could think of one so I used my name. Creative huh?? 😀 Hope you find something among my books to enjoy. Thank you for coming by and have a very happy holiday week.
Congratulations Elizabeth. That’s a fantastic achievement. Thanks so much for the invitation. The cake is lovely, erm Yes, two sugars in my tea please if you haven’t got sucrose tablets ( and I do hope you haven’t ).

Hello, David. So happy you could attend my party. Thank you! And yes, I do have that nasty stuff, but I save it for my private use. I only serve the real stuff to my guests. So enjoy, enjoy. Here, have another piece of cake. 😀 ❤ HUGS
Hi Elizabeth 😀 Wow ! That long ! That’s 7 years GOOD luck for all of us then. Thank you and I hope you have more fun years of blogging ahead of you. Hugs to you my friend. xox ❤
Hi, my darlin, and thanks. I hope I do too so I can continue to come and torment you with my silliness. 😉 Much love and big hugs to you, Ralph. ❤ ((HUGS))
Heartiest congratulations on the anniversary! That’s amazing that you’ve been able to sustain your blogging for so long. I keep forgetting I even have a blog, or two or three! Thanks for sharing all you do!
Congratulations, that is one heck of a milestone and I am always happy to go to a party. I will get around to reading the book of yours I downloaded last time you had yor very generous offer on, my online reading has taken a backseat recently but I shall get back into my reading ways soon.
Thanks, Ste J, and welcome to my party. As for the book, whether you read it tomorrow or ten years from tomorrow, it’s all good. I just hope you find something to like about it when you have time to read it. Have a lovely week. 🙂
