I knew my 200th Post was getting close. So when I realized that this post, appearing on Pink Saturday was actually the ONE . . . . my 200th post. . . . well, THE STONE RABBIT and I decided we needed to celebrate !!!!
As THE STONE RABBIT and I enjoyed our celebratory cones, we discussed all of the fun and difficulties we've had working our way through 200 posts!!!
We reminisced about our struggles in the beginning. . .how I had so much trouble getting the "posts" to post or the pictures to stay on the pages. He also reminded me of the HOURS he spent with me as I worked so hard to take just the right pictures of him and his buddies AND of my buddies and of our pets. He also noted how patient those very friends and pets AND strangers were with my incessant drive to take pictures of EVERYTHING. . . from birthday celebrations, to parades, to yard mowing, and on and on. He also noted that, while my posting and visiting has had to slow down recently because of my busy schedule, that my desire to continue to be a part of the blogging world is still there. AND when time allows, I will be back to sharing more often and VISITING my blogging friends on a regular basis again. I really think THE STONE RABBIT misses the visits to our blogging friends more than he wants to admit! Blogging and reading blogs IS addictive!
Then he asked me if I had a little Giveaway in mind to mark this blogging milestone and to say "thank you" to the folks who read my words and take the time to leave comments.
I told him that when Bonnie and I had visited a great flea market in September that I had picked up a swell item to use for a Pink Saturday post. I thought THIS would be the perfect time to use it!!
Yes, sir, this gorgeous hat is totally covered with glittery PINKNESS!!! It's nearly blinding with its PINK glittery beauty!
THE STONE RABBIT thinks the winner of this terrific prize would always feel the special PINK attitude when wearing it!!! I agree with him.
Then he asked me if I had anything else in mind to give to the winner of my 200th Post Giveaway!
That's when I called on Whitney the Rabbit and Twiggy the Kitty to retrieve the other "prize" I had purchased.
Whoa, Twiggy!!! THAT ice cream cone is not real. Ya better not take a bite out it or I'll have to pack you up to visit our vet!!!
So there you have it!!!
If YOU want to be the winner of these fine items, just leave a comment on THIS post. You have from now through Wednesday to do that. I will put the names in a pot and pull out the winner (or find a helper to pull out the winner) and then announce that name on the Pink Saturday post next week!
Remember, you do NOT have to have a blog to enter the drawing!! Just leave a comment and you're name is included the drawing!
Oh the thrill of it all!!
I know you guys are dreaming of owning that hat- - - now admit it!!! :)
Pink Saturday has been a very big part of my blogging journey. Thanks to Beverly, our Pink Saturday hostess, I have developed an amazing fondness for PINK and the attitude that comes with with color.
Please visit Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND, to find a looooong list of bloggers who ALL have great PINKS to share!!!
Happy Pink Saturday!

The Stone Rabbit makes my heart happy! Congrats on your 200th post! Joy

Congratulations my chatty friend...and also to the Stone Rabbit. He's such a good sport and always sits so still for all the pics you take of him. I hope your business is doing well - your sale looked so wonderful so how could it not be. I'm pooped out from a quick trip to Round Top today but wanted to check in on some of my mostest favoritest blogs! xoxo Nancy

I so need the hat. It will match my eyes when I am crying or having an allergic reaction. It would even be a better giveaway if you threw in a pink/white tealight holder, you know the one with teeth!!

Happy Pink Saturday, dear Dana. And, congratulations on reaching two hundred. I know I personally have enjoyed every single one. You and TSR are very special to me.
And, thanks for the opportunity to win. I know everyone would love to have a pink sparkly hat and a pink ice cream come. Tell TSR to get busy on his cone before it melts.

Congratulations on reaching 200 posts! You should get extra credit for all the effort you put into your posts! The screaming pink hat looks like it could be the female version of what Steve Martin and was it Dan Akroyd would have worn on Saturday Night Live when they were the "two wild and crazy guys"...remember those skits?! I can't believe you're willing to part with it!

OOO, I just can't stand it I need that hat so bad !! I mean, there is NOTHING like a PINK hat that would make an olden woman like me feel sparkly and, believe me, I haven't felt that way in a long time!! :O)
And, that cute little ice cream cone is too precious.

I love your Pink post today, Dana...

Way to go girl on making your blogging history! I'm not there yet and have a long way to go, but I'm all for celebrating with you. All the best and continued fun in blogland and Happy Pink Saturday to you, and I will wear the hat proudly if I win.

Hi Dana, I just arrived home and since I have been gone for four days I haven't had a chance to visit anyone. I helped my sisters move their antiques to a new location. Just next door basically in the same building. It was the most exhausting thing I have done in forever. I will post about it one day this week.
Congratulations on 200 posts Dana. Your pink Saturday post is just so much fun. Your giveaway is the cutest thing. I want to win. Sign me up maybe I will be lucky.
You and Bonnie look so cute in your hats. You both look like you have lost weight. You no doubt have worked your selves to the bone on your shows. I hope business has picked up.
I couldn't use my sister's computer as it is so slow I wanted to scream. I didn't, but I gave up trying to do anything. Sigh.
I just now did a birthday post for our granddaughter. It is her 15th birthday.
Now I am going to soak in a hot tub. My muscles are screaming.
Love, Jeanne

Congratulations on 200, Dana! Great giveaway!
I'm celebrating my 400th with a giveaway. Come on over and sign up. I'll have the giveaway open until next Monday morning and will announce the winner then. That should be my 400th post, if all goes according to plan.
Posted by: Pat@Back Porch Musings | October 05, 2009 at 04:13 PM
Happy 200th! It has been a while since we have "chatted". Glory B. says hello. She thinks she would look smashing in that pink hat. Maybe she would even send you a picture. Someday maybe we will see you again, at least at Debbie's.
M and G.

Hi Dana,
Congratulations on your 200th post! My how time flies. I wanted to come by and say hello, it's been a long time since you stopped by my blog asking how things were going. I had/am taking a little time away and not posting quite so much as we have a family member in the hospital. Please forgive my tardiness in reply, I always love coming here and seeing what you're up to and The Stone Rabbit. Is your sweet, pretty grand-daughter getting ready for Halloween and what is she going to dress up as this year? That pink hat is so bringing back the 80s to me and Twiggy does seem to love that ice cream cone - I can hear it go "crunch". Take care, this is always a bright spot here!
