HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL THAT JAZZ

I know I know it's been a few since I last posted.  I have been busy with this and that and a lot of Blog surfing.  It is bad of me I know please forgive me.  A brand new year and soon my birthday will be here, I am a little excited about it for some reason *shrugs* So much has happened over the past year I truly look forward to a new and better year.

I don't bother making new year promises I don't feel like beating myself up if I don't live up to them.  I just strive to make each day better than the one before.  I had a wonderful holiday how about you?  Well I have been trying for a few months to have a giveaway for my 100th follower and so far that hasn't happened but my plans are still there to have one when it does happen.  Sewwwww as Madame Samm would say this month is my Blog anniversary  along with my Birthday so for that I am going to have a Celebration on my blog.  Sew I guess your sitting there saying okay now what is Cheryl up to.  Well to answer your question I am going to Celebrate by giving away some of my favorite things   wow I just had a Oprah moment lol.  No I am not going to give away a car, trip, furs, or send a decorator to your house for a makeover but instead I am going to give away some of things that make me smile you know like I always say "Snatch Joy".  So on my Birthday January 15th I will be drawing a name from my list of followers as of right now I have 89 it will only be those 89 people who have been following me for sometime now. 

Okay some might be saying well that is not fair but hey all the new followers can join in on my 100th giveaway.  I have become blogging friends with some really cool Ladies over the past year I want each of you to know how much I appreciate having you there for me.  Also, I am thinking about having a selling blog and trying my hand at selling a doll on Ebay "which I said I would never do again" but oh well never say never lol.

Anyway what are some of your favorite things?  Come on share them with me.  Have a wonderful day all

Peace and Blessings
Cheryl.....Snatch JOY~!

  8. Hi Cheryl, So glad to see you! Sorry it has taken me a minute to get my behind in gear and get over here to see you! I know what you mean about the never say never..I've done it at least 100 times! hahha I wish you the best of luck on ebay, I think your Rag Muffins will do very well there. It may take a few tries, but once people see that there will be more, for some reason, it sometimes is like lays potato chips..they just gotta have em! Who could not want one of your beautiful dolls? My advice is..tell your story with the doll on her listing..this will attract MANY potential buyers! You stories are so wonderful, and creative, and give the dolls that something extra. I know many of my collectors have asked that I continue with a short story type description with each doll. For awhile I was simply naming them, and listing..till I got requests for a detailed little story about the doll, and thier personality..so thats what I did..just a suggestion Best of luck to you Cheryl. Have a great start to your new year! xoxox Christel
