It’s My Blog’s 1st Birthday! Time for some GIVEAWAYS…

By Melody | Published August 2, 2011

Time certainly does fly! I launched this blog last year, on August 1, 2010, and can’t believe how quickly the past 12 months have passed. This is my 134th blog post – yowza! I love blogging, and hope you’ve been enjoying my posts and website.

Because it’s better to give than to receive, I’m celebrating my blog’s first birthday with three giveaway prizes & three winners. Wanna know more? Read on!

The Prizes

*

If you enter the giveaway, you could win one of the following three prizes:

A $15 iTunes gift card – Let the music play! Oh, and if you don’t already have Adele’s album 21, I highly recommend it!

A five-pack of my handmade photo greeting cards – Blank inside, the cards are versatile and are suitable for many occasions. This pack of cards retails for $15.

A $25 Visa gift card – Purchase $25 of whatever you’d like – on me. Something practical, like groceries? Sure. $25 worth of gumballs? Go for it! The choice is yours…

How to Enter

For a chance to win one of these three prizes: subscribe to my blog and leave a comment on this post. You must do both to enter.

Already subscribed? Great! Thank you! You’ll just need to leave a comment.

Have yet to subscribe? Please use the subscribe feature along the right side of this page, or go to my website’s subscribe page once you’ve left your comment. (Please note: you must subscribe via my email-based subscription feature instead of the RSS feed in order to be entered in the drawing.) (

When you comment, please share which types of my blog posts are your favorites. Arts/crafts? Haiku? Recipes? Travel features? Other? Alternately, if you’re a new reader, please let me know how you came across my website and blog. Thank you in advance for your feedback, dear readers!

** And yes, I did bake cupcakes just so I could take a photo of one with a candle for this post.

While I’m partial to the haiku posts, I think the ones that resonate with me are the “letting my inner child out to play” posts. Those are always fun! Congratulations on one year of awesome blogging! Your site is great and I always find something interesting, insightful, or inspirational when I stop by. Happy Birthday, Blog!

I love your blog and look forward to finding new postings in my inbox. I want to say I found this blog from winning something on Twitter from Catherine Ryan Hyde??? I like all of the features, honestly, but the cooking ones are fun, even though they make me drool. I really just like the fact that it is a variety of passions and not just one thing. Keep posting!!

You had me with the paint experiment! What a clever idea! And a good way to defeat the artist’s block. I’m borrowing that…

Congratulations on your blogiversary!! (I missed taking note of mine. . .)
I don’t really have a favorite, I just love reading whatever you have to say, and drinking in your lovely images. I am a subscriber, and I think I found you thru your work with children and art journals.
