The Blogiversary Giveaway!

The actual anniversary date of my blog is a little unclear to me. Is it the date I wrote the first post or the day I made the blog live? I wrote my first post on November 1. I know I blogged for several weeks before I had the nerve to make the blog live. Oh, well, it was November 2009 - I know that for sure!

So in honor of the 1 year birthday of my blog we must have a giveaway! I recently received a significant amount of swag for a few items that got published, and I'd love to share the wealth with my readers! In the mix this time: Some Tattered Angels butterfly chipboard and 2 Maya Road shaped chipboard mini albums:
Also in the pile - A generous helping of My Minds Eye...some of the Life Story Collection:
And...and some of the So Sophie collection papers: 
Just leave me a comment by Sunday at midnight and I'll pick a winner on Monday. Good luck!

I actually never planned to make the blog live (as I discussed here) but boy, am I glad I did. I've been blessed over the past year with amazing opportunities but the best part of all; I've met so many great people as a result of this little wordy place. Thank you so much for being a part of this experience with me!!
