One Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway!!

Hi Bloggerettes!  Welcome to my One Year Blogging Anniversary!!
My goodness how time flies when you're having fun.  It just seems like yesterday that I wrote my first post and waited and waited and waited for someone to comment.  And when you did, I was hooked!
This little chair redo was my probably the first post to receive comments. I remember reading them over and over again and feeling pretty darn proud.   It's hard to explain the feeling that you get. You are on a natural high that is understood only by bloggers.  

I could spend hours telling you how much you all mean to me but I think you already know that.  So.......

Rather than getting all mushy and gushy and crying all over my keyboard, I'll show you my giveaway!

I posted about this birdcage find before.  This one is a smaller version of the first one I bought.  It will look great with all your fall decor.

So, as to not wear you out with a big speech, I just want to say a big thank you and say that I adore each and everyone of you.
My life has been enriched because of you.
I'm happy because of you.
I write and create because of you.

To get in on my giveaway just leave me a comment and
if you want to tell someone else about it then come back and entry for a second time.

Thanks to all my 695 followers, you are the reason why I blog.

~~Big Squeezy, gushy, smoochie hugs~~

It seems like more than a year, Sissie...maybe because we get to know one another so well, it feels longer! But congratulations!! That little birdcage would look adorable on my mantel all dressed up for fall!! ;-D

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Wow, Sissie! I want to say "has it been a year already?" but then I also want to say "has it been only a year?". I feel like you've been on my blogroll for longer than that, but I have enjoyed each and every one of your posts. You have made me laugh out loud {like the one of you and your sister in the car and Home Depot}, tear up, let out a squeal {as I did when I saw you were giving the birdcage away} and just plain smiled over your posts. May you have many more years of blogging ahead of you and ten times the number of followers! : )

The Tablescaper said...

Congratulations Sissie!!!

Blogging is a lot of fun. It does give you a certain kind of high that is impossible to explain to nonbloggers.

I'd love to add that bird cage to my collections. It's adorable. Keep me in mind.

You mean when I first started to follow you, you were just a newbie blogger like me! (I started in October). I thought you were the cool upperclassman in this blogging school. Your posts were and have been so much fun, and full of my kind of wit. Honestly I still laugh at the great girdle escapade. Well it's okay. After October, I won't be the freshman any more. Does this mean I get to sit with you and all the other cool bloggers in the cafeteria? Happy Anniversary. I want the birdcage.

Sissie dear.....are you on the coast of NC (hoping not w/that storm!). Much love to you, one of the sweetest girls that I have met in bloglandia. Congrats! xoxo, Janet

mariondee-designs said...

Hi Sissie, thank you so much for visiting me today and becoming a follower! Truth be told I was reading your blog yesterday and was reading the post about your son. I was going to leave a comment and probably stared at the comment box for a couple of minutes with my eyes all welled up. I have a 20 yr old son and could not image what you have been through. I just could not find the right words to say. I do believe also that you were visited by an angel that day. How wonderful is that and I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear your son is doing fine! You have a gorgeous blog and am now one of your many followers. That bird cage is just beautiful but please don't enter me as the postage cost to Australia would be outrageous. Congratulations on your first year of blogging! take care, Maryann

Shay said...

Mmmmmm,crusty and rusty ! My favorites. Congrats on 1 year!!!!

Hi, Sissie......Happy Anniversay...I'm rather a new blogger and learning everyday how it works. I look forward to reading your blog EVERY day and see what you are doing...You have inspired me to paint a 4 piece early 1900's bedroom suite and several other smalls lying around the house. In fact, I am redecorating and changed from country to shabby cottage. I would love to win your birdcage. It would look so cute in my sun room with my wicker furniture! Keep on with the great ideas and inspiration! I just love your blog!
Hugs,
Rebecca
