Congrats to Lisa from The Cozy Nook - my See's Candy truffles winner!!
It's definitely time to celebrate! Monday was my 4-year Blogaversary {4 years - amazing!} and Friday is my birthday - woo hoo!! That means we need to party it up! Go ahead - have some cake! :)
It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since I started blogging. Now that doesn't mean I've blogged the entire 4 years - I took a few breaks along the way and even "quit" for 4 months last year. But I've been back to it for a solid year and feel like I'm just now really getting back into the groove. I've also been a Contributor at Pennies & Blessings for a year now which has helped me stretch myself a bit {I just shared Chicken Enchilada Casserole over there}.
The Blogosphere has changed a lot in that time and it gets harder all the time to figure out my place in this online world. It's definitely a journey and I'm so glad you've been along for the ride! I do appreciate all of you sweet readers - thank you for being here with me. I hope to do a better job connecting with all of you in the near future.
**Giveaway Closed** In celebration of you lovelies - I have a special giveaway for you! And yes, it's chocolate - so one of you can literally stop and smell the chocolates! :) For those few of you who can't have chocolate, I can almost guarantee that you have family members or friends who would love you forever if you handed them this box of chocolates - so be sure to enter! :)
That my friends, is a 1 pound box of See's Candy Truffles. Oh yesssss. I will be happy to ship it off to one of you after I manage to pry my fingers off the box - LOL!
