Our Second Blog Anniversary!

Hi all!  It's hard to believe that we've been blogging for two years!  I mean, this is our 197th post!  It's been lots of fun so far.  Travels and tutorials, friends and fun times, it has been great.  But our blog couldn't be what it is without you, the readers!

Which of our posts is your favorite?

And the Winner is ...

 Hi all!  So, yes, today our contest ends, and we will announce the winner!  Remember, the first person who answered all our questions correctly won.  And the winner is (drum-roll, please) ...

Robot!

Congratulations!  Robot, please email us with your address so we can mail you your prize.  If you don't respond by next Saturday, we will pick a new winner.

Thanks to all who entered! 

P.S. Did you like this giveaway?  Would you like us to have another one in the future?  Please tell me in the comments!

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!
