** WHO THOUGHT I'D EVER SEE 100**

Back about 5 months ago......I jumped into the blog pool. And now I've hit my first milestone...100 posts. I decided to buy myself a little celebration present. So I connected up with Rae Ann over at The Button Box. She created this lovely little nugget and I must say...I seriously it! She did such a great job and I highly recommend her if you're looking for your own blog button!



And thanks to Lynette for suggesting I get one! For anyone who wants to add it to their blog...I'd be honored.





When I started this blog....I can honestly say it wasn't anything like I imagined. I had no idea I was going to meet some of the most generous, talented, and classy people on the planet. I had no idea I'd have to learn a new language...I don't speak fluent BLOG yet..but I'm learning. Like tonight when Justine was sweet enough to give me some pointers...and she only called me a doofus once!



I didn't expect to laugh as much as I have, to cry when you hurt, to feel joy when life was good to you., and to fall in love with you and your families. You've become my new passion and addiction. And the fact that you show up here....read the drivel that I post...and make me feel loved and special........well there just aren't words to describe how much that means.



So to say THANKS for sticking with me through 100 posts........


There has to be a giveaway!! I had a great time shopping at Home goods today...just looking for something fun as a prize. And well I got a little carried away so it looks like there is going to have to be Two winners......




I love anything that has sparkle and this little pedestal fit the bill....and then I found this cute little bird box and had to bring him home with me too....so these are Prize #1




And I couldn't forget all you Rooster lovers out there.....so when I spied this adorable plate...it was in the basket in a flash. And the lamp....oh the lamp is soooo hard to part with. I was so tempted to keep it for myself. But you all deserve it... so this combo is Prize #2



I'm so grateful that you come and visit me....so thrilled when you leave a comment. So do that on this post and you'll be entered...easy right! And in a few days when everyone has had a chance to get in on the drawing.....We'll pick a winner.


And from me to you.......a great big sloppy Thanks!

I was going through some of your old post and realized your pretty room is my inspiration room for my guest room. What a small world! Lynette and I found your room on RMS a year or so ago and printed your pictures. I am still working on the room so I don't have it ready to post the final result but I have been posting about some of what we are doing.
I'll let you know when we have it finished. I just hope it turns out as nice as your room did!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Pam @ Frippery said...

Nikki, Happy 100th! I thought you had been blogging much longer. You have it down so well. Thanks for being so enjoyable to visit. Love Homegoods but ours closed a few years ago, I was so depressed I almost had to be put away. There are two about 45 minutes from me so I occasionally venture out for a fix. Good stuff! Pam

Nikki, what an achievement to have done in just five months - to have so many followers and so many people who leave comments. Why do they do it? Because you are warm, loving, kind and generous and you have a first-class blog

tiburon said...

Danyelle Ferguson said...

I love your blog button! That's the cutest thing ever! Congrats on 100 posts!

Fragrant Liar said...

100 posts! That is stinkin' awesome! And let me also congratulate you on 166 comments (so far!).

And now for the begging. I think it's appropriate, as I desperately want your rooster stuff. Because of our name (originally Cocquielle), my family's coat of arms was a rooster (way back around the time of the Mayflower -- we helped finance it!), and I have recently decided to start collecting roosters. So I don't have many yet, but I'd so love to have these to help kick off my new adventure.

Thanks for thinking of me, and for encouraging me on my blog.

Dear Nikki,
I PUBLICLY apologise for my last comment. I have NOW worked out how to unsubscribe to the comments being left.
Nikke is a LEDGE and I got MORE than a bit jealous of her popularity.
It is a LIFETIME goal of mine to have SO many HOT ladies write SO MANY nice things on my wall.
I am going to lock myself in my room now as a punishment.

Debie Napoleon said...

Congrats on your 100th - it's mine too!

Happy 101 now for you posts.
Love your blog, but always saddens me to see your precious Crumpet. Our Wheaton Terrier Rusty looked identical.
Enough about that.
Keep the humor coming out way.
Love Claudie
P.S. Please leave room for others to win. Thank you for being so gracious to your followers.
