Three Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway!


I started my blog 3 years ago today! Little did I know back then how many wonderful "friends" I would meet and how much this little blog would become such a big part of my life.  

To celebrate I'm having a giveaway! If you would like to win this little button wreath that I made yesterday, please leave a comment. If you don't have a blog, please make sure you include your email address so I can contact you. This is open to everyone, bloggers, non-bloggers, lurkers, even those of you who live outside the U.S.!

Updated to add:  I will draw a winner this Friday, June 27th!  I can't believe June is almost over already!!!

  164. Congratulations on three years, Cindy! I've only been reading about 13 or 14 months now but I truly feel like I've been with you from the start because I was so enthralled with your style and projects, I eagerly read every single one of your archives. It was like reading a great decorating magazine I couldn't put down until I read it cover-to-cover!

    Ever since I saw the last cute button wreath you made, I have been wanting to make one myself and even though I've got all the stuff to do it...well, I just don't hold a candle to you when it comes to finishing projects quickly! Now if I was lucky enough to win the pretty one you made, I could cross one project off my "to do" list! :D
