ONE YEAR BLOG BIRTHDAY!
GIVEAWAY BELOW * 3 prizes *

WOW! I cannot believe that I started bloggin'
one year ago today!
It all started from me putting a friends name in goggle and seeing what
would come up. That friend is Christi ~ an amazing scrapbooker that worked
for several magazines when we lived in England. I was for sure that I'd find
her through some of those mags and the first thing that popped up was her blog.
What's a BLOG? Never heard of that until I found hers. Such a funny word
at that. Well, I became a blog stalker and loved looking at all the links she
had on her blog and continued to go to their links and so on and so on and so on.
(You know what I mean huh?) hehehe
If you haven't yet ~ check out the links on my blog ~ these ladies inspire me more than they know!
I didn't start a blog right away and had lots of questions for Christi which she
graciously answered and I thought I really needed to have one of my own. I was terrible at
keeping a diary when I was younger - always wanted to. Can't tell you the number
of journals I've purchased over the years to write in and haven't gotten past the
2nd or 3rd page on any of them. SO, this is my journal. A journal of my life, my family,
my art, my feelings. AND I am so glad that you are reading it. I feel connected
to people I've never met before all over the GLOBE! How cool is the map below
showing where people are visiting from? I think in life we all want to feel important,
validated, liked ~ and well, I cannot thank you enough for doing that for me!
SO NOW ON WITH THE IMPORTANT STUFF ~
Here are some giveaways to celebrate my ONE YEAR BLOG BIRTHDAY!
I've lettered them so that you can put in order what you'd like to win if your name
is chosen. If your first choice is already given away then I'll move onto your next choice. EVEN IF you've won one of my giveaways before PLEASE enter again!




A. Rooster painted on 14x18 Flat board canvas. It has a crackled frame painted on the canvas as well so you wouldn't have to get it framed if you didn't want to.
























B. Butterfly bush Tissue box ~ Covered on all sides with either butterflies and/or butterfly bushes. The bottom of it slides out so that you can put a standard size tissue box in it.
















C. Pansy box. This is a long box with a nice brass lock style latch on the front. It has felt on the bottom so it won't scratch your furniture and can be used for anything you'd like to put in it.










So, all you have to do to win one of these prizes is leave me a comment today and the order in which you like these prizes. I will have one of my sons do the drawing tomorrow evening ~ so all comments left before 7p.m. eastern time will go into the drawing. If you don't have a blog please leave me your email address so that I can get in touch with you.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY! THANK YOU FOR COMING BY MY BLOG DAILY, WEEKLY, ONCE!
It means so much to me!
