Happy Anniversary to Me

June 7, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 43 Comments

Whew!  I can’t believe it has been a whole year since I started blogging!  Boy, time sure flies when you are having fun.  And I have had a lot of fun with you guys.  Reading your supportive comments and seeing you come and hang out just to look at my projects.  I mean, I don’t sell anything but you guys come anyway. You all have really touched my heart this past year and I pray you, my dear readers, will continue on with me this next year and beyond.Just to show my appreciation, I am going to have a small giveaway.  I would like to giveaway more but it’s just not possible financially or time wise.  June is a super busy month for us anyway and add my oldest graduating from High School to the mix and it means zero spare time.  So check out the end of this post for information on how to enter and don’t forget, there is always my die-cut files and links to some great freebies.  They aren’t much but I like to give a little something back for you guys visiting.

I didn’t make a project for today but thought I would take a look back at my first year of blogging with some of my favorite projects:

Tiki Hut Birdhouse
Paper Parasol
Flippy Floppy
Bee’s Wings
Hello You
DIY Distress Ink Daubers
Mini Love Magnets

These are just a few of the projects I am proud of.  I have a couple more but didn’t want to make this post longer than it already was.  ^__^  If you want to take a closer look at any of the above projects, click on the caption under the picture to be taken to the respective post.

Now for the fun giveaway.  I have for one lucky winner the All-in-One Organizer from Thirty-One Gifts in the Best Tweets pattern (goes with my birdy blog theme!).

Just take a look at the simple question on the Rafflecopter widget and leave your answer in the comments to enter.  After you leave your comment, make sure you go back up to the widget and hit enter to log your entry and make it count.  There are also five bonus entries if you choose, just follow the directions on the widget too.  Super easy!  You have till Sunday, June 10th at Midnight EST to enter.  I will pick a winner on Monday and email them.  The winner has 72 hours to respond.  If I don’t hear from them in that time, I will choose another winner.  Have a great day and happy crafting!
