Two
Today is my second blogiversary. I have been jabbing my jaws for two years now. Two years. Time has flown by. I've had my blog longer than I've had Sawyer in my life, which seems totally weird because it feels like he's always been a part of my life.
I have enjoyed documenting my thoughts and crafts, but, most of all, my family. It's amazing how much I have forgotten until I read some of my older posts.
I have also loved meeting bloggers and seeking inspiration from their work. This crafty community is where it's at. You're a kind and generous bunch.
As a token of my appreciation to my readers, I am offering a giveaway. I will be giving away not one, but two, things in honor of my second blogiversary. Two commenters will win a zippered pouch made from My Folklore fabric and a bar of my handmade chocolate-mint soap.
This is what you need to do. Comment on this post and either:
1 - Tell me which post of mine was most memorable to you. (It can be a craft, a story, or anything.) Or ...
2 - If you haven't been around too long, tell me how you found my blog and how long you've been visiting.
I will randomly pick two names from the comment section on or about Tuesday.

I always appreciate the stories about things that go knock in the night...because I have the same problem.
And the time the boys flipped over the sofa at the birthday party, cause it makes my wild man seem calm!
You KNOW my day isn't complete without reading what you've been up to and I really appreciate it when you post in a timely fashion. When you're late it tends to mess up my day :)
I think my favourite post is this one:

You look so cute in that purple and blue dress! :)
Happy Blogiversary Lera!!!!!!
I like reading all of your stories, and I just love looking at pictures of your sewing projects. They inspire me to create something myself.
I found you over flickr, for the Fat Quarter Challenge. (So fun!)
No particular post stands out, but I love reading your blog. Here's wishing you many, many more!
I blogged about your contest to spread the love.

no particular post is more memorable than another (i barely remember what i make for dinner from one day to the next). but i must say that you're inspiring. and i'm still not quite sure how you find all the time to do it.
The boys flipping the sofa was a recent memorable post. And whenever Taylor smiles!
I've been reading your blog for a while now. I think my favorite post is "You know it's going to be a bad day when..." (Oct. 1, 2007). Remembering that particular post helps me keep things in perspective with my DS!
I seem to have missed the couch flipping post. Think I'll have to go find it. :)
I love reading about your crafting, your family (we're working on a big family) and Maryland (we spent a couple years living on the PA/MD border, spent most of our time in MD). I know that's more info that you really needed to know- or wanted, likely- but that's why I read your blog.
Happy anniversary!

I found you by doing a search on how to sew Kleenex pouches! You were so very helpful, and I've enjoyed reading about your crafts and family adventures!
I know I found your blog by following a comment you made on another blog, but I can't remember which one.
I remember most your posts about
Spenser's broken leg. My little guy is her same age and I remember thinking how difficult it must be!
I clearly remember a post about a certain little boy having split his forhead open and you taking the time to blog about it! Then, only for me to have the same thing happen! Although, I'm sure I wasn't nearly as calm as you were!
i remember a post you did on your son's baptism. i remember thinking - good for her! except i probably wouldn't have put up the jumpsuit picure - aaron would kill me. :)
congrats, lera! here's to many more years!
I found you from Sew Mama Sew when you won the free fabric and I clicked on your name and found your blog! At the time I was so excited about the SMS blog -- I was just barely discovering the whole crafty blog world and found it so inspiring.
I remember thinking when I read your blog the first time "this girl has GOT to be LDS." And you were! How fun.
You inspire me to do more sewing. I love seeing all your creative projects and also hearing about all the antics of your sweet children.
:o)
I wouldn't expect you to send me anything all the way to Australia, but I do want to say that I love reading your blog. I can't even remember how I found it but I am glad I did. I enjoy reading about your life and your family very much :)
I haven't been around too long but I found you through artsycraftsybabe!!
I really enjoy reading!!!!
I am a newbie to your blog, only since November, seems like longer since I read you with much regularity now. Thanks for all your great post and creativeness. My most memorable so far in the gift, making, especially the chocolate mint soap, which is why I hope you "pick me". creativechris@msn.com
One of my favorite posts of yours was the things about you where I learned how to properly pronounce your nickname, your real name and that you spent a whole year decked out in black. :)
And I did so enjoy working on the Fat Quarter Challenge with you. Shall we do it again this spring?
Cheers, my friend!

Let's see, I am almost positive I found your blog through Karyn's blog one day. :)
I don't think I can pick a favorite post/story from your blog, but I can say that I love reading about your crafting, family life, and such. It is inspiring:)
CONGRATS!!
so happy anniversary...

I love the stories about wacky things your husband does. It makes me laugh because my husband does some of the same things.
