Fifty Thousand.  That's A LOT!!  Let's take a look at what such a huge number represents.  This is what fifty thousand pennies look like.  That's about 1 cubic foot of copper coins.  Fifty thousand pennies would weigh more than 300 pounds.  With fifty thousand pennies, I could get about 30 yards of premium quilting cotton.  I was going to say how valuable each visitor is to me, but now that I've done all this penny computing, the real question is....why didn't you each drop a penny here??? 

So, to celebrate 50,000 hits, I'm giving away a "busy bag", a nearly identical twin to the one I posted photos of earlier this week.  To enter the draw, please leave a comment.  I'll need to contact you if you are the winner, so remember to include either your email addy, or a link to your blog where I could find your email contact information. Two "runner-up" prizes will be awarded as well.
