A New Name ... Plus a Giveaway!

 Hello, lovely readers!  As you can see above, Chrissa and I have changed the name of our blog to The Salty Breeze, because many people (us included) found The Saltys confusing.  We have considered doing this for a long time, and thought it would be a excellent way to celebrate our blog's birthday.  But we also had something else in mind: a giveaway!

 And yes, we are having a one ...

 ... for this nautical bag that I sewed especially for this purpose.  On the front is an anchor,

 ... while on the back is our new blog name.

In order to win this one-of-a-kind purse, you must answer the following seven (7) scavenger-hunt questions in the comment space below.  The first person to answer them all correctly will win.  All the answers can be found on our blog.

1. How many posts, including this one, have we written in all?
2. What is Chrissa's favorite food item?
3. Which school subject is my (Elizabeth's) favorite?
4. How many cousins do Chrissa and I have (hint: look on The Founders, Their Family, and Friends)?
5. State the number of posts labeled "Friends".
6. What is Chrissa's middle name?
7. Name one of my favorite colors.

Happy searching!
