Hello Friends! I have an extra 2013 On the Farm calendar on my desk, and would like to mail it to one lucky reader. It's the small
calendar size (5x7ish). If you'd like to be entered into the drawing for this blog candy,
leave me a note on this post. I'd love for you to share your year with us!
I'll randomly select one name from all entries on Saturday, January 19th, and comments will be closed at that time.
In the meantime, if you'd like to order up a copy for a friend, you will find the calendar in my Zazzle shop.
I plan on doing more blog candy posts this year -- I kind of got away from them for a while. But, since this is the 7th year of me keeping this blog, and 7 being my favorite number, I thought this year should be somewhat special. June marks my 7th year blog-versary, so stay tuned for lots of fun to come!

I recently came across your blog and have Been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I do not know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading.

Congratulations on 7years! I enjoy reading about the farm and the animals. It brings back good memories when my boys had lots of different animals as they were growing up. I really miss the babies in the spring!
I also enjoy your cards and crafts.

Wow, 7 years, congratulations! And I so love to check your website and hear all about your farm animals and receive updates as to how everyone is doing. Thank you for the opportunity to hopefully win this wonderful calendar of yours!

Happy New Year, Anna, and early congratulations for reaching the 7 year blog-versary anniversary... time sure flies!
Your blog is one of my absolute faves! I so enjoy looking at your lovely crafts and photography, you're so talented, and reading about your life on the farm with your husband and darling animals... such a blessed life you live! Reading about yours has made this island/city girl seriously consider packing up and moving to start a new life of her own on a farm somewhere.
Meanwhile, looking at your calender for a year would be great motivation to make the change, in addition to reading your blog, of course... thank you for the opportunity to win one of your calenders!

(DO not include me in blog candy :))....because I am just stopping it to say that I bought this calendar last weekend and my girls LOVE IT! They are especially smitten with Moose because he looks so much like our lab Olive. As soon as I told them where the calendar was "from" they said..."Is Moose in it? Is he? Skip to that month" :)!!!
