Happy Blogiversary to me!

Today is my 2nd blogiversary (and my 755th post)! Just for kicks, here is a link to my very first post. It's been a fun hobby and I've discovered lots (and lots and lots) of great blogs. To celebrate my blogiversary I'm going to draw 2 names from my comments left on this post (you have until Saturday night at midnight) and send a surprise package to those 2 people. If you are so inclined, this might be a good time for all you lurkers to leave a message (and I know there are a few of you!). You can't win if you don't play!!

Thanks to all my friends and fans for reading about the life of BIG RED EP!!!

  15. I love to read your blog and I love that it's new every day! Funny story, when I was little, and I guess even now sometimes, my Dad use to call me Big Red. I also got Sarah Beara Big Red which wasn't my favorite. Anyway, love reading your blog and would love to get a surprise package!

  28. I'm a big red EP stalker, I admit it. I tried to make napkins like your by the way. They didn't turn out nearly so cute.
