It’s time to celebrate! Today is my 1 year blogiversary! Exactly one year ago, I published my first blog post. I didn’t know anything about blogging, but knew that I wanted to share my crafts and creations and knew that this was the way to do it. A year later, I am so blessed to have such an incredible amount of followers, fans and all around support. And I am so thankful to have met so many incredible bloggers, crafters, and crocheters along the way. Some of whom I now call friends 🙂
Just this past week I hit a whopping 1 million page views on my blog!! AND reached 5,000 Facebook fans!! Thank you so much! My blog would be nothing without all of you.
So as a little Thank You, I am hosting a small giveaway. There are three prizes and there will be three winners. Each winner will get one of the prizes listed.
There will be a total of 3 winners. Each winner will get ONE of the prizes listed. Winners will be chosen at random courtesy of Rafflecopter.com. Winners have 24 hours to claim their prize.
