Egad! I just looked at my follower gadget and see I'm close to having 500 readers! THANK YOU! I know some don't show up on the gadget or don't follow publicly and that's okay. You are appreciated too!
This is so exciting for me! I'm feeling a MYSTERY GIVEAWAY coming on. When/if I reach 500 followers I am going to giveaway what I call a 'happy box'. Inside will be assorted surprises that I hope will make the winner HAPPY! If you craft, there might be some craft things. If you are an animal lover, there might be some dog/cat things. The 'happy' is in the surprise!
1. You have to be a follower and comment below to enter.
2. Whenever I get 500 or more public followers, I'll blog to announce a cut off date for last entries. (It may happen quickly or may take weeks.)
3. To help me reach this goal, please announce this on your blog and spread the word so new friends can join in. Won't you help spread the fun?
It's really NOT about numbers for me. It's more about making connections and sharing thoughts and encouragement. Still, 500 somehow seems 'special' and I feel each one of you ARE special.
I hope to see plenty of comments and newbies. God bless you all!
P.S. US and International welcome.

Congratulations on 500 followers! I'm not sure how I missed this post, but I'm glad you reminded your readers and I didn't miss out.
Happy Box! I love it, just the title makes me smile. Please enter me. I would love to have a Happy Box.
First of all CONGRATULATIONS.:)
I like very much how you wrote about the followers and the number of followers.I feel similar,too.Strange...You look how many of them out there are ,,following"your blog,I check the number every day,but I think it really does not matter.For example I like to take part in giveaways.Someone likes to play computer games...I like giveaways...I follow blogs,but I do not read each of them...The most important for me is my blog list.I really follow those blogs....and I will put your blog there...I found your blog and giveaway accidentally...But was it really accidental...I do not believe in it ...It has a purpose I am sure...So I am zour real follower from now on.:)A Hungarian follower,who lives in Serbia,with some Polish roots.:D Loves languages,because I love friends from all over the world...that is why I write my blog in 3 languages.:)
I am happy I found you.:)
All the best.:)
