275 Followers Giveaway!
As promised, here is a photo of the giveaway:
As you can see, it's a "Purple" themed giveaway. Unfortunately, I didn't take a very good photo since you can't really see the scissors! Here's what's included:
3 Purple Flower Pushpins
14ct Purple Hand-dyed Aida (Hand-dyed by me!) - I think it's 12x18, not sure tho
Purple Memo Pad
Purple Tape Measure
Cadbury Milk Chocolate in Purple Wrapper
3 skeins of Purple DMC
1 Pair of Purple Embroidery Scissors
Purple Scissor Fob (I stitched this a while back for the giveaway)
1 Spool of Purple Blending Filament
Package of Needles - Not purple, but who can't use needles?
To get an entry for the drawing, leave a comment on this post only telling me how long you've been reading my blog. Easy as that. I'll draw a name on Sunday, September 18th and announce the winner on my next Marvelous Monday update.
So stay tuned!
Until next time,

Hi Meari, You know, I can't really say how long I have been reading your blog. It has to be several years now. I can't really say that I was a full fledged follower as I would always get the link from your ILCS posts and go to it from there. It is only this year after I started using Google Chrome that I became an actual follower. I would love to be included in your giveaway. Purple is my favorite color and in the picture that fabric is beautiful. And hand dyed by you. I would be honored to win something like that.
I haven't been reading long, but boy do I enjoy them! Probably only 3-4 months now. :) Hoping I might follow in your footsteps and start doing a blog myself this winter.
Ooo Meari a purple giveaway! Congratulations on your 275 followers. I have no idea how long I have been reading your blog but I know its been a loooong time!
Not sure if my first go-round worked, but i've been reading your blog only a few months. I love it, though! :)
You are busy as always Meari!I've been following you for several years now and always enjoy your marvelous Mondays, or Tuesdays, or Wednesdays...lol
I honestly do not know how long I have been reading your blog. Probably since you joined ILCS...that is where I first 'met' you, I believe!!!
Can't really say exactly how long I've been a fan of your blogs. Even when I got soooooo far behind in reading the posts from ILCS I read everyone of your blogs. Didn't want to miss anything. I will say that I have enjoyed them for at least a couple of years. I look forward to your Marvelous Monday reports. Thanks for sharing a little of your world with us.

Congrats on the blog success. I've been reading for about a month. Don't really remember the time. I just remember you stopped by my blog and I dropped back over here and I followed. :-D
Please enter me. THANKS!
Hey Meari! Not sure about how long, but I do know I look forward to Monday for your updates! LOL..........and your teasing me about the LK piece.....
I love all your purple goodies! I would love to be entered in your contest.
Ooooo, purple!
I;m not sure how long I've been reading your blog. 1-2 years I guess, maybe more.
Thanks for offering such a lovely giveaway!

Wow, now you're making me try to remember...I've been reading your blog for a long time, following links from groups and such, but I just now became an official follower.I remember when you moved into this house, and I think I've been through a few boyfriends too!
I thought I already was a follower, but...just one more thing I forgot! I'd love a chance at your giveaway...thanks!
Well, I have been reading your blog about a year now and always find it amusing and interesting. I just have to enter the giveaway because I am a purple NUT!!! My blog is call Crazy Purple Mom and my kids mantra is NO MORE PURPLE MOM!!!! I think the Summer Geisha is coming along nicely.
I had to think about it and then I was shocked to realize that I've been reading your blog for at least 4 years!
I would love to be entered in your drawing!
Talk about a tough question! I really have no clue. Long before Charlie, before you started going back to school. It has to be at least 2 years, since you were one of my inspirations to start blogging.
Please count me in for your fun giveaway~
Hey girl. I know it's been several years. But I'm not a counted follower probably. I have you link saved on my google reader. I check it everyday to see if anyone has updated. I love reading your blog! So I wonder how many not counted followers you have....You are just so cool haha.
Hi Meari
I have been reading your blog since last year not a follower as I do not know how that works.Just made a needlebook using your tutorial can not show yet as it is for an exchange. Would love to receive a giveaway but best thing is to keep writing your posts as I enjoy them.

Cool a Purple giveaway, had to have a go didn't I :)
As for how long I've been reading your blog well I haven't got a clue but it's at least 12 months
Hi Meari! I would like to take part even that I don't remember how long I have been reading, lol!
I would love to enter your giveaway! I'm not sure how long I have been reading your blog, several months at least and I love all of your musings.
Love the purple giveaway and what a lovely prize that will make. I'm a relatively new follower having found your blog this year. I would love the chance to be entered into your giveaway.
What a wonderful giveaway! You gotta love purple things. I have been reading your blog about a year, I think.
I love purple so please enter me and I believe I have been reading and a follower since you started blogging.
Well, that was a nice trip down memory lane. I've been reading your blog for 17 months. I started reading in April, 2010 - you had gotten a new car. I feel like it's been a lot longer, but I think that's because of ILCS.
Hi Meari,
Your purple theme is beautiful. I think I have been reading your blog for about a year.
Have a great week.
Hi Meari,
Can't remember how long I have been reading your blog but do enjoy reading about all the things you do in your life.

I am not sure how long I have been reading your blog - at least a year or maybe longer - time is flying by for me! I love your blog as it is always very interesting and I love all your pictures!!! You are a very talented woman and I enjoy seeing all you do from cross stitching to your DIY projects (they make me jealous -lol - cause I am not a handy person)s
I normally don't put in for people's giveaways but I couldn't resist all things purple. :)
I've been reading for your blog for a year or longer. I have no concept of time anymore. I want to say I started reading it before I became a children's librarian. Maybe 2 years but not actively putting comments. Omg... senior moments at my age...lol.
I enjoy all your posts. I also love how you spell your nickname since it's so close to my nickname...
Thanks for your posts. I look forward to them every week and worry when I don't see any from you.
Hugs!

Don't know exactly how long I have been following your blog. I remember the crazy neighbor and the lawn mowing battles, so maybe that give you a good idea? I may not always comment, and I may not read every monday, but I do backtrack when I miss a week or two. I enjoy reading all your updates, not just the stitchy ones.
I have been reading your blog for at least 2 years. I love your Monday updates and look forward to them each week.

Love your purple themed giveaway, Meari!! I haven't even been blogging three years yet, so I'm guessing I've been reading it about 2 - 2 1/2 years... Time sure flies, doesn't it... Always a pleasure to read your weekly updates :)
Been reading your blog since you taught me....love purple....congrats on 275 followers.

No idea how long I've been reading your blog but I'm sure its not been long enough and I'm bound to have missed lots of lovely posts. I decided I had to enter this giveaway as purple is my most favorite colour x
Nice giveaway! Don't enter me though because I don't use much Aida. Just thought I'd comment though! :-)
Hi Meari, I think yours was about the 3rd blog I discovered after I started blogging which was back in 2008. So probably about 3 years now.
I love the giveaway -whoever wins it will be very lucky!!
I'm in the UK, am I still allowed to enter?
I love purple, so it seems apt!
Meari -
It has been at least a couple of years that I have been following your blog. I do so enjoy reading it.
Hi Meari,
I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now.
Love your theme giveaway...Purple, too cool!
Thanks for sharing the DYI info as well, much appreciated.
I love reading your blog and giving you ate time about Japanese Gardens!
I have been reading your blog for a while, though can't really say for how long. I'm not really a follower just got the link from ilcs every week.
Umm - forever - or it seems like forever. I'm not sure when I started but I know it's been a while and Meari's Monday morning updates have made my week for a long time. I have enjoyed your adventures over the years and look forward to many more.

I have only been reading you for a few weeks, but I LOVE PURPLE!! Every accessory in my plain white bedroom is purple! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Geez! Sometimes I don't remember what project I am working on so to be sure I can't remember how long I have been following your blog. It has to be at least two years. I've heard of pretty in pink, you've got in as pretty in purple with your give-a-way! Nice selection. Please include me for a chance to win these goodies.

Holy cow..you expect me to remember that??? 2 to 3 years? Maybe more?
Congratulations on all those followers!
I don't know....3 years? I could go back and look I guess. I love the weekly updates, love your writing style, and especially loved the Boyfriend Chronicles....it's always an upper! Keep it going.

I have been reading your blog since I met you through groups.
I love your writing style and especially like it when you buy things from thrift shops and make them look like new again!
It must be a couple of years now since I have been following you. Granted I messed up the blogging thing a few times now so I am now a new follower with my latest blog. I love purple and remember when you finished that cute freebie fob.
Uh-huh, i have been reading your blog since 2009-mid... *And* once i started reading your blog, i went backwards and read several of your previous blog entries too, LOL!!
I mightbe late, as it is already Monday here, but i will try my luck:)I love the purple, although i will be surprised how the cadburys can travel till here;-)
