Today is a very special day for me! We are celebrating both my wedding anniversary and also my 1 year blogaversary!
I created this card to give to my hubby for our 13th anniversary. Can't believe it's been 13 years already (and a total of 20 years together as a couple)... boy do I feel old! But I am looking forward to many more years to come! I guess since I made this card last night I must have been feeling a bit patriotic... hence the red, white, and blue... LOL! To make this card, I used a retired SU set called Old Friends. I like it because it kind of reminds me of Ragedy Anne & Andy.
BLOGAVERSARY GIVEAWAY:
As I mentioned, today is also my 1 year blogaversary! I kind of started my blog on my anniversary so that it would be easy for me to remember the date... hehehe! After 300+ posts, over 80,000 visits, and 100+ followers, I can't believe that I'm still here! Blogging was totally new to me, but all of you have welcomed me with open arms... I am in awe! I have learned so much and am thankful for all the friendships that I have made through my blog and crafting. It has been a wonderful journey for me to share my creations and I thank you for being there for me with all your sweet comments! Now on to the Blog Candy Giveaway... sorry, I don't have a picture of the candy because I haven't really had the chance to gather it up with all that's been going on, but I promise it will be SWEET!
Here are the rules:
1. As of yesterday 7/4/10, you must already be a follower.
2. Leave a comment on this post telling me which is your favorite project that I've posted in the past year!
That's it! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy (that's my daughter's favorite saying... hehehe)! This blog candy ends on July 15th. I will announce the winner on the 16th. Good luck and thanks for following me!
