Today I celebrate my 4th Blogaversary. I seriously can't believe it has only been 4 years....it seems like I've been blogging forever. Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you hadn't discovered paper crafting and you hadn't discovered blogging? Okay, okay other than the fact that you'd probably have at least 80 more hours in a week...or maybe that is just me...LOL.
I'm doing a fun little celebration over on the Flashback Friday Challenge blog:
For those of you that don't know....Flashback Friday started from some posts on this blog. There was a time when I felt the need to post daily and quite frankly I didn't have enough new projects to share so I would "flashback" to older posts.
Our Flashback Friday 17.0 Sponsor is the spectacular
a muse studio consultant
French Roast Pearls
Soooooooo fun, eh?!!!
For more information about a muse studios check out Mary Dawn's site HERE. Make sure you also pop over to her personal blog, My Pink Mexico....that girl can craft up a storm!
My super Guest Designer for Flashback Friday 17.0 is the wonderful Sylvia Nelson! She has picked a super fun challenge....
Your first banner!
can be on a card or a hanging banner for the holiday
I know that you all can dig up at least one project that has a banner:)
What I posted over on the Flashback Friday blog is that in celebration of my 4th blogaversary, I was going to pick a random winner to win a box of goodies. To be eligible, you just need to link up before 11:59 pm Pacific tonight.
I've changed it up a smidge...I won't be drawing for one winner...I'll be drawing for 5 winners! The Grand Prize winner will receive 4 lots of goodies:
Making Memories flocked paper lot
Pink Paislee/Jillibean lot
Prima lot
...my personal favorite, the Woodland lot
What I also decided to do it to sling out four 6x6 Designer Paper Pad from My Minds Eye {I'm also including a spool of ribbon!}...so 4 more people will receive 1 Paper Pad and a spool of ribbon
Everyday Flair
Darling Dear
Dwell
Blink of an Eye
Whew, I assure you that the photog and editing session of the goodies took me way longer to do than the actual typing of this post:)
It's a funny thing when I go back to my very first blog post titled:
I absolutely CRINGE at my photography....but here are the first couple sentences
I've actually tried to set up a blog a couple of times but could not figure it out. I think that I'm slowly getting it. I hope to see this slowly evolve into something really creative.....
So there you have it...a small thanks for everyone that visits me, whether it is via here on my personal blog or the Flashback Friday blog or maybe even both?!
So, if you'd like a chance at the goodies, link up your first banner project HERE.
**garage sale update**
So you may remember that I mentioned I was going to have a garage sale on Saturday....I'm thankful that it didn't rain but it was 36 degrees and I literally lost feeling in my hands....I was huddled up to my space heater and it just wasn't doing the trick:) Business was definitely slower than last month but I probably managed to move out over 250 sheets of 12x12 {don't ask}....and I got to talk to some really interesting and fun people. My hourly rate was um, less than $10 hour...funny thing is the kids and I went to Ikea and Costco after I 'closed up shop' and I well overspent the $ I made earlier in the day...oy.
