I’m so excited to be writing my 150th blog post! I have a few surprises to announce…but first I’d like to say thank you to each of my 91 followers!
I know this may sound cliché or redundant but I *truly* enjoy all the comments that many of you leave on a regular basis! Your sweet notes of friendship and encouraging comments often make my day. In addition, I would like to thank everyone who has participated in my various knit and crochet-alongs! It’s such a joy to “meet” other Christian girls who love the hobbies I do and I’m amazed to find just how much we have in common! My desire for this blog is that I will be a blessing to everyone who stops by and that by reading about my life and what I’m up to, you will be blessed and encouraged to continue growing in Him.
So without further ado, let me announce a couple of surprises…
First, I’d like to let everyone know about an upcoming event that I am hosting. Several of my Blogger friends and I have a lot of fun chatting with each other on Skype and before long an idea was born…I’ve decided to host a Homeschool Girls Get Together on Skype!
{For those of you who don’t know what Skype is…basically it’s a chat program very similar to Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger. You don’t need a webcam or mic to use Skype and you can download it for free by clicking here.}
On September 19th at 4pm EST (3pm CDT & 1pm PDT) there will be a “Homeschool Girls Get Together” on Skype. The get-together is for any Christian, homeschooled girls (age 14-20). For the first 10 minutes or so everyone will be able to introduce themselves…you can share a little bit about you, how long you’ve been homeschooled, where you blog etc. Then we will go on to discuss how we as young ladies can use our time wisely to help our home as well as Christ’s church. Certainly, this will be a chat you don’t want to miss!
If you’d like to attend, please send me an email by clicking here. Please make the subject line “Homeschool Girls Get Together” and include your Skype username. If you’ve never used Skype before and would like to get some help signing up, please let me know! {Remember, it’s free and you don’t need a webcam!}
Okay, I’m sure you’re wondering what the second surprise is…I won’t hold you in suspense any longer! I’ll be mailing lovely Bermuda postcards to each of my followers who leaves a comment on this blog post before September 15th…just as a simple way to say“thank you” for following and leaving sweet comments on my blog! So to receive a Bermuda post card, leave a comment with your blog address {or email address so I can contact you!} and make sure to let me know that you’re a follower! :)
Thanks again for reading all my blog posts –even though they’re boring sometimes! I hope everyone has a blessed day…and I’m looking forward to the homeschool get together on the 19th!
Blessings!

I am a new follower of yours and I have joined the "Knit and Crochet for Romania's orphans" (I was not added to the list yet). I have already made a hat and have another one on the way! I am really excited about the project!

Eden, I love your idea for a Homeschool Girls Get Together! If it wasn't for the fact that I'll have a new baby on my hands, I would join in since I just fit into the age limit! :) Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely get together filled with lots of great, encouragement!

Hi Eden!
I am a new reader to blog. I really like your knitting posts, especially the ones like the knitting for orphans, and the friendship afghans. What a wonderful idea!
I would love a postcard from Bermuda!
It must be so interesting to live there; I'm sure it is so beautiful!!
Also, I will be praying for you and your family, and all the other people on Bermuda for protection from "Igor".
In Him,
