50/08 and Blog365

I have officially lost my ever-lovin' mind. I have joined 2....um clubs?
In the spirit of NaBloPoMo I have decided to extend it and attempt a full year of posts starting January 1st. I have also signed up to do 50/08 which is reading 50 books during the year of 2008. I attempted this last year and came close but forgot to document it. So I'm going to do better this next year. Just wanted to let you know in case you were interested in joining in. They are both on Ning and I have links to them at the bottom of this page, on the left.

800 Visitors!!! CONTEST

In the last month I have watched the visitors jump from 3-something to 800. I'm floored. If it is one person that just can't stay away and clicks 20 times a day, thank you for thinking I'm cool enough to visit again. If there really are that many people stopping by, Holy Cow!

I have chosen 800 because 8 is my favorite number. Chosen for what? Well...chosen for my first contest, of course.

I will draw a name on the 8th of December - my daddy's birthday and the day I will be back from Kansas. All you have to do is leave me a comment with your name, e-mail addy and blog (if you have one) and answer this question: What/who inspires you?

Winner will recieve a piece of the jewelry I created or a print of one of my photographs. (Hey, this is my first contest - be gentle with me..lol.)
Thanks again for stopping by and yes...this is a tool to get you to de-lurk :). I can't wait to read about your inspirations.
