One Year Blogiversary {with a BIG giveaway}!!!

Hello friends!  I have just celebrated two milestones within the last couple of weeks... one being a MAJOR one!  I celebrated my Birthday on the 22nd as well as my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY on the 17th!!!  It has been one year and 128 posts since I joined this FABULOUS world of crafting and blogging... and I could not have reached this milestone without all of YOU... my WONDERFUL readers & crafty friends!  I still cannot believe that it has been just one year since I crafted my first card ever and started blogging!  

For those of you that don't know, this ALL began with my dear hubby purchasing me a Cricut Expression for Christmas 2010.  I had NEVER crafted a thing in my life before that!  I remember sitting there for a few days just staring at the machine, thinking "Okay, now what?".  It wasn't long before I got my Cricut up and running... thanks to Google and all of YOUR fabulous blogs!  I ventured into a hobby that I can't believe I lived without for so long!  I have been hooked since day one... the day I discovered My Pink Stampers tutorial videos. :)  And I must say, it has been an AMAZING journey ever since!  I have learned a PLETHORA of tips and techniques... from cardmaking to scrapbooking, tag making, ATCs, and so forth!  I now own a REDONKULOUS amount of crafty supplies and also have my very own craft room!!!! :)

Crafting and cardmaking has been more than just a hobby for me this past year.  It has been THERAPY!  It has gotten me through good times and bad.  It has become my stress reliever, my 'go to' when I am having a bad day and am down in the dumps.  

So... to extend this celebration with all of YOU... I am having a ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY GiVeAwAy!!!!  That's right.... it's time to give away some AWESOME goodies!  And since this is such a huge milestone for me, I'd like to make this GiVeAwAy EXTRA special and easy peasy!

All you have to do is become a follower, 'like' my Facebook Page and leave a comment below this post letting me know that you have done so!  If you are already a follower and a fan of my Facebook Page, just leave a comment stating that you are!  Like I said... EaSy PeAsY!  Also, if you happen to have an extra minute or two to spare, please spread the word to your friends and family on your blog or Facebook!  This is not required, but will be greatly appreciated! :)  

The GiVeAwAy will close on Sunday, March 18th at midnight with the WINNER being announce on Monday, March 19th!  Again, I am so blessed to be able to celebrate with all of YOU!

Here is ALL that the WINNER will receive... 


LOTS & LOTS of FABULOUS GOODIES!!!

Two Close To My Heart D-Size Stamp Sets

A Sampler of CTMH's 2012 Spring/Summer Background & Texture Papers &  A Bundle of Ribbon
