The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who participated!
On January 29th, 2009, I started my blogging journey. Where has the time gone?
So much has happened in our lives over the past four years. Upon reflection, the good things have far out-weighed the bad and for that, Mr. Painted Quilt and I are indeed thankful.
Who needs to write a book when you have a blog? From time to time I like to scroll back over some of my older posts and do a little reminiscing. When doing so I have found myself experiencing a gamut of emotions from from huge smiles to sappy tears but that's just me being me...sappy wus that I am! *wink*
What I am most grateful for is ALL OF YOU! Without your kind words of encouragement, shoulders to lean on and unending support, my life wouldn't be as full as it is today. I have made some very close friends from all over the world and to all of you special people, a GIANT hug.
Having said that, and as a small token of my appreciation, I'd like to offer these small gifts to one of you.
A needlecase that I designed and made, filled with little treasures.
Inside, you'll find some of my favorite Jeana Kimball's embroidery/redwork needles...
as well as a pair of cute embroidery scissors and a magnetic needle minder.
Here's the inside...everything you'll need for a little stitching.
To participate in my giveaway, just leave me a comment at the end of this post. It doesn't weigh a whole lot so to those of you who live outside of Canada or the US, please join in as well because I will definitely ship internationally.
Remember, if your email address does not appear on your profile that means your settings are set to "no reply" and I won't be able to contact you. As a result, your name will not be included in the draw which will take place on January 29th.
In closing, I'll leave you with this picture of Ollie and Frankie in their favorite place by the fire in the kitchen. We've sure needed that extra heat these past few days because it's been unseasonably cold, snowy and windy. Brrrrr.

What a lovely give-away. I can't believe it's been four years. I must have found your blog quite soon after I started my own. It's been very cold here lately too with way too many inversions to trap the cold in. Here's to sunshine and warm weather for both of us!
I would love to win, and just know that we have enjoyed reading & keeping up with your lives in the past 4 years too! You have helped us out too.
Congratulations, Kaaren, on your 4th year of bloging. It has been a pleasure reading your blog and seeing all the things you make. And I look forward to it for many, many more years to come. Thank you so much for giving away this beautiful gift. It would be an awesome prize to win.

I love following your blog, and ironically, it is because I do follow you, that I first heard about Busy Thimble. I saw photos in one of your postings and fell in love with all the civil war reproduction fabric and realized that the shop was actually in Maine, about 45 minutes from my house! I was new to quilting and not aware that such a gem existed! Congrats on your milestone!
Congratulations Kaaren. It's always a great pleasure to visit your blog. I love your work.
Thank you for your awesome giveaway. I'd love to be the happy winner.
Give a big hug to Ollie and Frankie, they are adorable!
Hugs from Portugal,

Beautiful needlecase and I'm sure it will be cherished by the lucky winner.
My furbaby lays by the woodstove everyday too.
Congratulations on 4 years of blogging. My young daughter loves looking at the pictures of your 2 furry friends cuddled up around the fire, and I love seeing what you're doing.
Thanks for the give away.
Congratulation on your 4th blogversary! I so look forward to your blog, even though I am not real chatty...I love the furries. I just lost my dog and know what you went through. Ollie has been a great addition to your family.. Love the needlecase and goodies.. So glad you are doing so well.
Hugs carolyn

Kaaren,
:) It warms my heart when I see I have a new blog entry to read from you.
You are such an inspiration in your art and love of life.
Even though I can not have a dog at this time your blogging on
Ollie and Frankie fill the void.
Congrats on your anniversary and bringing so many smiles
round the world.

I love following your blog. I cried when you lost Mac, was so sad when you encountered the puppy mill and so happy when you got Ollie. I love the pictures of Ollie and Frankie.
