Three years ago...on February 23, 2008, I began posting on this 'blog adventure' of mine. I had no idea what I was doing and I can't say I know what I'm doing now. However, it has been an interesting and educational experience....for me. What it has meant to YOU, I've no idea, but hopefully, we have become friends. I feel that way.
With that in mind...and because I can't send you all something, I'd like to present one of you with a gift to celebrate the beginning of another year in the 'blogosphere' here at Bird Nest on the Ground. If you are interested, kindly make a comment on this post and your name will be included in the drawing. As always, that old navy man will pick a number to see which of you wins.
If your name is drawn...you will receive one of my glass Candlestick Pincushions, pieced of wool fabric and decorated with crocheted flowers with embroidered leaves, a beaded button at the top with the same flowers and leaves, and several of my favorite heart and leaf straight pins. It's eight inches tall. Then, there is one of my miniature landscapes. It's hand appliqued and embroidered...the design is 3" x 4 1/2." Loved making the tiny American Flag and flag pole!
Of course, who wouldn't love some chocolate...so you'll find that in your package also. Along with these things will be a little bird card. I purchased this one from Michael's. It's so cute, so you need one too.
OK, now...take a chance...send me a comment and let's see who wins these three items. I'd love to send it to YOU. Celebrate with me! We will choose the winner on Monday, February 28th at 10:00 p.m. Make sure I have a way to get in touch with you! And, take care out there....pat

Hi Pat and congratulations on your 3rd year anniversary. But I should be the one "thanking you" you have a wonderful blog that I really enjoy visiting. It has been a delight for me to have you here. Wouldn't it be nice if we all could just have a Blog-Party in real time. But since we cannot I raise my glass with you....
I would love to win one of your beautiful works of art. Gorgeous!
I really need a cute pin cushion to brighten up my sewing space.
I love celebrations and I LOVE your art work! You are incredible and the blogosphere has been uplifted by your presence for these 3 years! Looking forward to visiting with you through 2011!
Congrats on another year of blogging! I am a fairly new blogger and a new follower of your blog and I have really enjoyed reading your posts. Your give away is wonderful! That landscape is to die for! The birds in the sky and the flowers are such a nice touch. Please add my name to the drawing. :o)

Happy Blogversary too. I am so glad I found your blog today.

Just found you through Craft Gossip. I love the creative idea for the candlestick pincushion. I am a thrifter/flea market junkie, so I will have to keep my eyes open for appropriate candlesticks (in case I don't win yours)!
Congrats on three years of blogging. I really enjoy your blog and always find something inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Wow three years of blogging - that's great!! Please count me in for your giveaway - I have never seen a pin cushion quite like this before - you make beautiful creations!!
I can't stand it! Your work is so incredibly beautiful and it has inspired me to do something more creative myself. Thank you!
I'd love a chance to enter your wonderful drawing!
Thanks :)

Such lovely gifts in your giveaway. Congratulations on your anniversary!!!
That is an adorable pin cushion. I feel covetous....
I am in awe of talent like yours. I can reproduce what someone else has done, but original? Not so much.
Thanks for the chance.

Yay for you and your persistent creativity! I have never seen such a precious picture and pincusion.This is my first post.
lovely ones
happy anniversary
awesome pieces

What a treasure trove! Your blog means a lot to me! I am always inspired by your artistic creations.
I recently mentioned you to Charlotte Williams at Pinwheel Fabrics (Alexander, AR). As I signed up for one of Gwen Rogers' pincushion classes, I was telling Charlotte about your fabulous pincushions. Charlotte told me that I should take one of your classes in Ferndale. I am excited about making a "Bitty Bunny" pincushion from wool. The bunny sits upright and holds a flower basket fashioned from an upside-down thimble. I'll share a photo as soon as it's done.
Anyway, happy, happy third anniversary! I wish you the very best of everything!
Congratulations on your 3 years,That is just a beautiful pin holder.I just found your site and joined as a follower. It is really nice.

Happy Anniversary dear friend! I can hardly believe it's been 3 years already, how exciting!! What a wonderful give-away! Only if Mr Old Navy Man would draw my number ;0)
