Blogiversary Giveaway!

I cannot believe it has been two years today! It seems like only yesterday that I was tentatively setting up a blog in order to show off the H#rry P#tter freebie from The Sampler Girl's blog. The Striped Rose switches between cross stitch, homeschooling and gardening at my whim. I do have a habit of leaping from project to project. I want to thank Tanya and all the other stitchers whose stitching blogs have and continue to inspire me. And if anyone is looking for a homeschool blog...I promise in the fall to return to Weekly Reports and curriculum reviews. I need the support and encouragement of the homeschooling corner of the blogosphere! I am checking in on your blogs throughout the summer. One thing I have discovered is that a reader comes to a blog because of a certain common interest, but eventually you get to know the blogger, and are interested in other aspects of the blogger's life - family, vacations, ups-and-downs. So have a cup of tea with me today, and leave a comment on this post to enter my giveaway. I chose a chart by Prairie Schooler - "Friends." I thought the title appropriate! I will choose a random winner on Friday. Good Luck!
