I've made so many lovely new friends through the Whoops! Blogfest, it appears I'm about to hit a blog milestone, the first 100 followers.What is it about 100? It's really such an arbitrary number. It's not even symmetrical, and I groove on symmetry. After all, I picked 2/22 for a blogfest date. It's symmetrical, memorable and had wonderful homonym potential. (I appreciate you all letting me geek out that way.)
So, I've decided to announce a fun contest celebration when I reach 111 followers, that amazing age Bilbo celebrates in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Here's to eleventy-one!

Tiffany: :-) Tolkein's humor is the best!
Love it!! And I have an 11 thing, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurel for doing the fest yesterday. i got 3 new followers and checked out some great blogs in the process! Can't wait for the 111 fest
ReplyDeleteWhat better reason to celebrate than eleventy-one?! If it's good enough for Bilbo, it's good enough for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! Very cool, good lady. Eleventy one it is. :)
ReplyDeletePlus, you haz a new blog award waiting...
Karen: Thanks. A friend of mine has a black cat named Eleven. Cool, huh?
ReplyDeleteJulie: I added your link to the festival widget from the comment you posted on my scene. Hope that's OK. More folks shouls be able to find you now. Thanks for participating!
Shannon: Indeed! You've been one of best followers from the very beginning, so many thanks for helping me get to this momentous time!
Simon: Ooh, I do? Yipee! Thanks, friend!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on almost-100-followers! I'm sitting pretty at 95, hoping I don't hit 100 before I think of a good giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I could do something like what you're doing and wait for an arbitrary number!
Can't wait to have a chance to check out some of the entries from yesterday.
Amber: Thanks! Nothing arbitrary about it, though it *might* be a slight stalling tactic on my part. LOL. I fear folks might be getting contested-out. But I do have a good idea in mind.
ReplyDeleteHave fun catching up with the fest!
Eleventy-one! But didn't he disappear on his birthday? Do you have a magic ring, Laurel???
ReplyDeleteI love this! Here's to Eleventy-one!
ReplyDeleteTricia: actually it's Bilbo's using and awakening the ring that gets the whole LotR adventure going, isnt' it? The idea of incitement or change will part of the contest theme. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteNisa: Thanks! Stay tuned!
Wow, look at you go! Great idea with the 111. I like colouring outside of the lines.
ReplyDeleteElle: and I like your willingness to show your Canadian flair--colouring indeed. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Looking forward to your eleventy-first :)
ReplyDeleteFun! Look forward to it:)
ReplyDeleteJemi: Looks like it will be soon. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteKaren: Thanks! Stay tuned for more details.
The Whoops! Blogfest was fun. I'll watch your numbers rise quickly and prepare my party hat!
