I've also acquired a follower or two along the way, for which I am really grateful, and often surprised. A little research tells me that the appropriate 2nd year anniversary gift is something made of cotton. I don't work much with fabric, but I do enjoy making fabric brooches.
So, to celebrate the beginning of my third year of blogging, I am giving away some (haven't decided how many) of these (mostly cotton) brooches. They have a tie tack on the back, and if you don't want to wear it on your lapel you can attach it to a tote bag, apron, or just stick it on a bulletin board.
Thanks so much for reading my blog, and I LOVE reading your comments, so I'll be picking people randomly to receive a happy blogoversary brooch. Just leave a comment on this post (and include a way for me to contact you) and I'll pick some winners after the weekend.

absolutely love this
Happy Blogoversary! I had to chuckle on your note how it almost took all day to learn how to upload a photo to your blog when you first started blogging. I am still learning how to do things with my new blog. (LOL)
Anyway, congrats, and your fabric brooch is very, very lovely! I couldn't visualize how these looked when you wrote that you made them.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful eye candy art with all of us.
Congrats on the blogoversary, Eileen! You do some Amazing stuff, Lady! It's taking all the strength I have not to scroll down and look at your pennants! (I'm in the swap, too!) I love surprises but I'm already guessing yours are FANTASTIC! Have a great day!
Your blog is a constant source of inspiration. It is such a thrill to know that I am part of the round robin journal group with you. I get your work in more then one journal. yea me.
I'm not into wearing jewelry myself but that fabric brooch is super! I'm sure it would look awesome on my denim jacket! LOL
Absolutely awesome...your brooch, your blog, your in-detail descriptions/how-to's. Happy Blog Anniversary, and many, many more!
Happy Blogaversary Eileen! Discovered your blog after the fantastic Mexico Cruise and have been enjoyed seeing your creations ever since.
Happy Blogoversary!! Actually, you've given us all a gift every day already, because your blog is always filled with such inspiration and fresh approaches to art! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! :)
Happy Blogoversary!!! I love spending time on your blog you have some GREAT ideas. I look forward to spending the next year seeing what else you do.

Your blog is so inspiring and love everything you do. My interests are so varied, mixed media, collage, ribbon work, beading, fabric collage, altered arts, etc., etc., etc. I love this brooch! Thanks for all your inspiration.
I've been following your blog for about a month now Eileen. I see you participating in all the challenges and wonder how you have the time. You said that they have helped you grow as an artist. That is wonderful. Your content is always good and I look forward to each new post. Happy blogversary!
Your Blog is amazing! Thank you for sharing your work. I love the colors in the brooch, and would love to be wearing it! I missed Tim's apron, so hope to get a brooch instead!

Hello Eileen,
happy second anniversary ! If you lived close, I baked you one of my cakes :)
I often visit your blog : I bookmarked you but hardly come around to visit all my bookmarked blogs... but thanks to the posting on ATT I've been kept updated and it leads me your way now and then.
What I like about you and your blog is your sharing of what you experimented, learned,...
I recognize you as a regular commentor on ATT, a regular participant in the swaps,... because of you I'm now in the Marie Antoinette swap :)
so I guess , you will hear and see more of me in the future if you want it or not..LOL

This is really cute, and a refreshing change from the burnt rayon corsages I've been seeing elsewhere. I would definitely wear this, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I would settle for a tutorial.
OMG Eileen, your fabric brooch is fabulous. The colors are wonderful together too. I would love to have one of them to call my own.
Thanks for having this blog candy for us to win.
Congratulations on two fabulous years!!!
I think the alternet material for celebrating the second anniversary of such a creative and wonderful blog as yours is Grugepaper!(wink)I would be so honored if I won a fabric broach... thank you for the chance!
