I've waited a year to say this: Happy Blog Birthday to me! Plus, a giveaway.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

My blog began like so many others: with a few posts over several months that were lost and neglected followed by long gaps of nothing. I like to think of this time as my "cyber-pregnancy" all building up to my first for-real post.

Perhaps that's the craziest analogy you've ever heard... but it's really what my blog life has felt like. A slow start of inspiration, with a sudden burst on to the "scene," followed by a year of growth & development into what I now consider Crazy Random Happenstances.


I've gone through many changes and finally like where I'm at. And I wanted to celebrate my designated 1-year blog birthday with you all! With a giveaway, of course.


What's a birthday 
without presents?


I decided to give you guys my favorite thing I've received this year....


I wear this necklace everywhere. And, I'm not kidding, receive a compliment 9 out of every 10 times I wear it. It's an eye catcher and a good conversation starter.

Plus it's Kate Spade. And who doesn't like that?

So it's simple to enter:

Be a follower** of my blog & leave me a comment telling me you are!


kate spade HANG IN THERE BINOCULAR PENDANT giveaway

But of course that's not the only way to enter! Here's a few more...

Just leave a comment for each one of these. That's 7 ways to enter ♥

And, because this is a PARTY, if I reach 300 followers, I'll be giving away a 2nd prize!!

Before you go, let me just say one last time - Thank you for reading. This year wouldn't have been as awesome if it hadn't been for you guys. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart. I love this blog and I love sharing my thoughts with you. And I love reading your thoughts.

Now, good luck! Winner will be announced on October 1.

PS - this is open to international entries. Anyone can enter.

**Google Friend Connect keeps having problems... 
but you can still hit "Follow" on the navigation 
bar in the top/left or follow me here ♥
