Did Someone Say "Blogoversary"?!

{via}

Um...somehow I missed my blogoversary again this year.  I mean, I did better this year than I did last year.  Last year I missed it by a month.  This year, but a mere two weeks.

Really, all I can say is THANK YOU!  I'm so thankful that you read the drivel that I write, that some of you leave comments that make me smile...or cause me to think...or are just plain awesome. Mostly, I'm thankful that I've found some really amazing friends through blogging.

Now...what do you want to see more of on this sucker?  More puppy pictures?  Want to ask me a question?  Have a yearning desire to see the money pit that is my house?

Now, who's going to send me cupcakes to celebrate my blogoversary?! :-)

My Blogoversary Was WHEN?

Umm...Happy Blogoversary to me!

Just a smidge...er...way late.  It seems that while I was in a drug induced stupor recovering from surgery, I missed my 2nd blogoversary on February 23rd.

I want to thank each and every one of you for reading my blog.  It's a blessing that you drop by and read the craziness the seeps out of my brain and into Blogger.  :-)

To celebrate, I will be hosting a giveaway when I hit 400 followers! (Just one more; so close!!)

Stay tuned...

It's A Blogoversary Bash!

I can't believe that it's been a year! (Actually, my blogoversary was last Tuesday...so, better late than never, right?)


I never, never, never expected going into this - that a year later I would be even more excited about blogging than ever, that I would have "met" so many people I now consider my friends, or that I would be running to my computer to read about what you've all been up to.

Thank you to everyone that deemed my blog worth reading. Thanks to the new followers & bigger thanks to the people that followed me all the way back in the beginning. Old and new - you're all fabulous!! Your comments, links, suggestions, recipes, etc. are all so valuable to me. I get such a thrill when my phone "moos" an email alert. (Yes. My phone "moos" at me to alert me to a new email. I'm weird. You all knew that already.  Moving on....)

Most of you know how fond I am of giveaways. Until I learn to trust the USPS again, I won't be compiling gifts on my own. However... I don't want to deprive you all of the giveaways that you deserve! These suckers are shipping directly from the vendor. :-) *Side note: USPS sent me a notice that they have two of my boxes shipped in October. The actual post office can't find them though. If you won an October giveaway and didn't get your prizes, email me!! We'll find a replacement prize. *
 
Prize 1: A glass globe of your choice from Uncommon Goods.  I absolutely adore this website for all their fantastic gifts and..well...uncommon goods.
 
 

 
Prize 2: Folded notes and address stamper of your choice at Expressionery.com.  As much as our lives are very much online these days, I was still taught that nothing can beat a hand-written note.  I love to check the mail and see a written correspondence. 
 
 

 
Prize 3: A $25 gift certificate and bookmark of your choice from Barnes & Noble.  As much as I love to read - I couldn't leave something book related off my list.  :-)
