Blog Anniversary Party: Gussy Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Happy anniversary to me!

I'm so excited  about this week! It's a way to thank all of you who have been along for the ride since the beginning and to welcome folks who have just started on the journey. I didn't really know what I was getting in to when I wrote my first few posts (they're not good...do not go read them) or how much I would grow and be given by all the incredible women I've met along the way.

This blog has morphed and changed over the year and will probably continue to develop as I develop.
Part crafts, part work,
part funny, part serious,
part Jesus, part family,
all heart.


By now I'm sure you know (and love) Gussy! Maggie is a the beautiful lady behind Gussy and if you aren't bloggy friends with her yet, you must visit her blog. She has graciously offered to kick off my blog anniversary party week of giveaways with a $30 credit from her shop.

Oh my, what on earth would you do with it?



pretty bouquet makeup bag


gray and yellow wristlet/clutch


Want to win?
- Follow along for the ride
- "Like" along for the ride on Facebook.
- Spread the news by blogging, tweeting, or FBing about my blog anniversary party!
(make sure to leave a comment for each)

Giveaway will close Friday Nov. 5 at 5pm. I will announce the winner Friday night.
