Whoever would've thought last year...while recovering from surgery...that while looking around at certain blogs if you pressed this little button that said 'create blog'...that it would grow into a blog with 100 Posts!!! Plus recently another blog!!!
I have met so many lovely, caring, kind and generous people over this thing called blogging...
formed cyber Friendships...
stepped outside My World of Caring for a Daughter with a disability to places afar...
Laughed with you...cried with you and have thoroughly enjoyed myself!!!
To celebrate this Magical 100th Post I thought I would celebrate with a Giveaway of the Tales of Beedle The Bard book above!!!
I am a Harry Potter fan...a collector of the books...colouring books...sharpeners...pencil case etc...
Above is part of my collection...including a couple of wands I made once...
A big kid my Hubby calls me!!!
The cute fluffy little Owl...
A Bookmark...
The set of books received for my Birthday last year with the adult cover version...
My Hubby even saw a floormat with Harry on it...alongside it is JoJo's Magic Hat...
I even have some of the children's cover versions...
Hubby recently bought me a shopping bag...
If you look on the right you will see a folder amongst my TAFE cookery books...yep I even did assignments and handed in that folder with them complete!!!
A couple of posters from the latest movie...
Went to the local bookshop with JoJo to pick up our books last year the day they were released...
And the Harry Potter shop at Movieworld in Queensland, Australia!!!
If you are interested in a copy of The Tales of Beedle The Bard...

Good Luck!!!
We read books to find out who we are.
What other people, real or imaginary, do
and think and feel is an essential guide to
our understanding of what we ourselves
are and may become.
~Ursula LeGuin, b. 1929~
American Science Fiction Writer
No furniture so charming as books, even if you
never open them, or read a single word.
~Sydney Smith, 1771-1845~
English Clergyman, Essayist and Wit
And the last Quote just about sums it all up for me...
I haven't read these books...
I can't wait to read them...
Just waiting for that special Magic Moment that says...now is the time!!!
And I know...once I start...I won't want this adventure to end!!!

Congrats on 100 posts - though 10,000 miles separate us in the real world, you are a bestest cyber friend.
Yay Harry Potter rocks,
I too love books, they create a fantasy world in my imagination that for a few hours take the soul to a secret place where anything is possible.

Happy Blogversary Dzintra! Blogging certainly opens up a whole new "Magical" world too! I love it and the friends I've made.
I'm a Harry Potter fan too but not as big as you. My son and I have Potter Marathons and we watch all the movies, morning til night. We've read the books too but we've read Tales of the Bard.
Hope to see you celebrating another 100 posts!
Goodmorning Dzintra, Congratulations on 100 posts.You and JoJo are certainly keen Potter fans. I love that fluffy owl,I have never seen one like that before.I look forward to many more posts from you and your family and any cooking you want to send this way. Happy days.
So hard to believe! I remember it well. Congratulations, D! Always stay that big kid you are. I have a collection of children's books too, but have never read Harry Potter.
I'm off on an adventure in a few hours but wanted to take a moment to wish you all the best. Thanks for letting me know about the giveaway. Count me in, will you? I'll catch up with you soon.

Catherine

LOL My hubby (poor dear) has given up and gives me gift cards to different bookstores. (:
Happy Happy Blogoversary to you, and to JoJo too! I know she loves to read it too. xxx Vicki

When we were in London, we went to Kings Cross station where they have a special Platform 9 3/4 and a trolley going halfway through! http://www.notquitenigella.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/harry_potter_934-450x675.jpg :)
So very happy for you Dzintra and so, so very glad to have bumped into you!
Yes, my same sentiments….I too will always be a kid at heart.
I know we both luv so many of the same things such as music, art and books.
I seriously need to update my book list for I’m afraid it has grown just as fast as the Gourds I have written about today…..hehe!
Oh well, books are one of my many passions.
A Very Happy 100th Blogoversary to you Dzintra…..Keep up the great work!
Hugs Annabelle :)
Well my dear congrats on your 100th post.
You may be a big kid with your devotion to all things Potter but a big heart goes right along with it.

Wishing you many, many more!

It is always a pleasure to visit your blog and read all that happens in your life. The post that sticks in my mind is the one of the body guards on the beach. That once again shows how special you are!
