If you are a new reader--welcome to Greetings from Geralyn. I am celebrating my 300th post. I can't think of anyone else I admire more than Mary Engelbreit. When I turned 40 my birthday present was to take my 8 year old daughter to FAO Schwarz to buy an Ann Estelle Doll and get it signed by Mary Engelbreit. I also had my daughter color a picture for Mary to give to her. While we stood in line I explained how much guts Mary Engelbreit has. I explained how I loved to draw, but I never had the guts to become a professional Artist. I said you are so lucky to get to meet a living breathing person who gets to make a living by creating Art. I explained how Mary had an identifying style and how she includes quotes who inspire many people. My favorite quote is BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED.......I can't wait to read all of yours. I will draw a winner on Monday, March 7, 2011.

I just want to be first to leave a comment. I don't know a Mary Englbright quote. I've seen artwork though and all your goodies look wonderful. May you pick up many followers.
Happy 300th post! What a wonderful way to celebrate! One of my favorite M.E. quotes is "How good it feels..the hand of an old friend."
“If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.”
So true.
I follow you.

blogged!
My favourite quote is:
"Happiness must be grown in one's own garden. "
Thanks a lot for your great blog, it's a pleasure reading your lines and enjoying with your experiences!
MOst people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Abraham Lincoln, i believe. Great giveaway.
Happy anniversary. I'm a happy follower.
I like you on Facebook AND for real.
Okay, so I very reluctantly told everyone on my blog about your giveaway. Why? Because I really want to win it myself. Such a generous giveaway.
I told them to visit your store too. Will get there soon myself. Have a great day.

Nice to meet you Geralyn! I just became a follower. Happy 300th post. I, too, am a ME enthusiast. I loved her Home Companion magazine and I have made many things with her fabric. Here's to the next 300 posts!
I really resonate with a couple of sayings: Nothing is Worth More Than This Day.( I look ahead far too much) and Worrying Doesn't Take Away Tomorrow's Troubles, It Robs Today of It's Strength.( I am such a worryer!)
Wow 300 posts! Congratulations!
I don't know any ME quotes but I love her style!
My favourite quote of all time is "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" (my mum!)
I hadn't realised she had so many noteworthy quotes. Here's one that we all need: "Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; it only empties today of its strength."
Congrats on 300 posts!
Congrats on your 300th post~ Wishing you another 3000 of them! My favorite quote is the same as Katie's. Your visit to FAO with Kaylyn influenced her tremendously since she is now a very gifted artist! Well done Mom!
CONGRATS ON 300+ POSTS!
LOVE M.E.'S STUFF!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
I work in a high school and everyday I read a quote to the students. There are so many that are great... but I can't think of just one on the spot. Thanks for an incredible giveaway - wow!!
I am a follower - Love this giveaway - so many lovies!!
Congratulations on the 300th post. :)
What an amazing, and extremely generous giveaway!
Congratulations on your 300th post. That is quite a milestone. I don't have a Mary E. quote that I could remember on my own (there is a lot I can't remember anymore). So, read some of the comments and saw one that I recognized and have used before. paraphrased "If you don't like something, change it. If you cannot change it, change the way you think about it." My ME emory boards are favorites that I use frequently. Thank you for your generousity and sharing your treasures with readers.
My favorite is "Life is just a chair of bowlies"
Many Happy Returns on your 300th post. My favorite quote is "Friend is a gift you give yourself." I love this quote and I have been very generous to myself!

I love that Mary paints the pictures for us to such beautiful words....always in a way that I wouldn't have imagined on my own. Mary's print on this particular quote makes me sigh in contemplation...
Thanks Geralyn and Thanks to Mary!

After seeing a picture of the sign with this quote above the entrance to ME's workspace, I really wanted one too. So my daughter made a cross-stitch version to hang on my craft room door as a birthday gift a few years ago.
BTW: Love your blog!
Congratulations on your 300th! I admire writers who can share so many positive thoughts. As to ME, my favorite quote, one that has served me well, is "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." Posted and quoted it many times throughout the years in my h.s. classrooms and I can't tell you how many times it improved my attitude. Thanks for your great blog site! You touch the lives of so many!
My sister adores ME and has claimed her "Queen of Everything" quote personnally :) I would so love to gift this to her! Thank you for the chance!
giveaway at www.thevioletorange.blogspot.com too!
