300! And a giveaway.

A long time ago, I celebrated my 300th post- now I am celebrating my 300th follower- it kinda boggles me that there are 300 people who thought it worthwhile to follow this blog. I know that all 300 don't read every post, just as I don't get around to reading every post on the blogs I follow- although I do try, time permitting. So, to honour you, my readers, I am doing a giveaway; all that is necessary is to be a follower and leave a comment telling when you started following this web log of mine.
The prize? Well, it will be a grab bag of products from local people, maybe even one of my creations depending on who wins. I will make a random draw on the first day of spring- the 20th! I'll make sure to link to this post with every post I put up.
Fire away- I'd love to hear from you!

I have not been following for that long, but I do enjoy reading your blog! Keep up the good work :)

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

Yours was definitely one of the first blogs I followed, so I'm thinking some time in 2010. I started blogging late 2009.

Cheyenne said...

Ah, I can not remember when I first started following you - maybe a good three years ago?

I do know I've appreciated your thoughtfulness in all your writing. And your pictures are just an added bonus. :)

Hooray for 300!

Montanagirl said...

Gosh, I have no idea when I started following your blog - awhile back, though. Congrats on your 300 followers!

luvmyhrs said...

Oh dear. You may have to figure this out for me. I have been following your blog since shortly before you got Chickory. You got another dun baby at the time and I can't remember where it went and you also had a blue Gussie baby and you lived in AB!!!

Congrats on your 300 followers!!

Lynell said...

I started following your blog shortly before Rio was born...still enjoy reading it! :)

Recent follower here (puppy pictures ♡ !) but I've been stopping by for a while - can't exactly remember where I ran across you first. Some happy random connection in blogland. Congrats on 300!

Shirley said...

My friends R&W have been following since 2008, when Gussie's blue roan colt was born.

Unknown said...

Has to have been about a year and half, maybe longer for me. I think I found you through Fern Valley??? Maybe?

IanH said...

Been with you since 2009? Always enjoy your blog.

Malory said...

I have been following your blog for a good many months now. (At the least six months!) Thanks for doing a giveaway!

cdncowgirl said...

When? Oh heck, it's been awhile! I know I wasn't here for your first post but I DID go back and read right from the start when I found your blog (because I'm a huge nerd that way lol)
Congrats on 300 followers! :) It's a great blog, I know I always look forward to seeing a new post pop up on my blogroll :)

Mary said...

I had to think a bit on this, but I am pretty sure it was around December of 2010, before Rio was born. I am so glad I found your blog! (I swear, I am NOT kissing up here...)

Danielle said...

I started following about a month ago .

ACountryCowgirl said...

Not sure when I started following but I do love all the pictures:) The pups are way to cute:) Love all your pictures and stories. Congrats on 300 readers!

Ed said...

I honestly can't remember when I started following your blog...but I do remember waiting for Rio to be born. Can't remember how I found you, but I do remember Beamer's picture being the reason I stopped to read! Congratulations!

Kurious Kim said...

Oh gosh, Shirley! My memory is not great, but I think I've been following since Day One and I would say that it is pretty rare for me to miss a post. Following along makes it so I don't miss you and Ted quite so much. Thanks for keeping up with the blog!

The Equestrian Vagabond said...

Hmmm, I can't remember either... a couple of years anyway. It was probably a gorgeous shot of Beamer that got me hooked!

lisa said...

My memory is nil, but I have been a fan of yours and beamers for quite some time! Love them horsey pics and of course just visiting.

Becky said...

I believe I started following (although not offically) in spring of 2010. Then when I got a blogger account I offically followed your blog. Before that, I had a folder in my favorites that I would go through everyday. I save so much time now! Only the blogs that have new posts pop up to be read.

thecrazysheeplady said...

Boy, I can't remember how long ago. Did I meet you through Sunday Stills or maybe through another horse blog? Trying to think of who the first foal I remember being born...

KarenTX said...

Have to get my "daily dose" of Beamer! Such a nice boy. Rio sounds like he's coming along well.

Far Side of Fifty said...

Sunday Stills and probably Linda at Just another Day on the Prairie. ..like four years ago I think. Beamer and the your entire brood have been a pleasure to read about.
Congrats on your 300 the follower! :)

I have followed you for a long long time I am thinking 2008 , I know I missed the contest but I wanted to say to luvmyhrs , the other dun filly was Andee (AV Docs Baby). I bought her as a pen mate for my little Appy girl, and she has been here ever since. My hubby fell deeply in love and Andee is a lifer here now
