Happy Blogiversary To Me..Happy Blogiversary To Me

I was so busy getting ready for the crazy show I did last month that I missed my BLOGIVERSARY!  The first week of June 2011 was a very busy time for me, apparently.  I started this blog, my Etsy, and my Facebook all in the same week.  What an amazing two years it's been!



I've been visiting some of my old posts.  Here are some of my favorites.
  • One of my favorite poems from the first month.
  • Random Thoughts from back when I was having random thoughts that 1) I could remember and 2) were printable.
  • A tribute to my dad.
  • Another poem.  See? I really do write poetry.
  • Getting real about being an imperfect mom and a poem about my teenagers, whom I love with all of my heart.
::wipes away some tears:: 

WOW!! 


Two whole years of spilling my guts and SOME OF YOU ARE STILL HERE!!!  



Yea!!! 

 Let's CeLeBRatE!!

I'm giving away a set of FOUR signed 8 x 10 animal-y prints. (not framed)  That's one for you and three for gifts.  Or three for you and one to gift.  

Or ALL FOR YOU AND NONE FOR GIFTS!!





How it works:

1.  You get one entry just by leaving a comment on this blog post.

2. You get one additional entry each of you do or have done the following things and tell me in your comment:  
  • Like my Facebook page
  • Favorite my shop or follow me on Etsy.
  • Follow my Instagram (must have the IG app for this one)
  • Share the link to this post to your FB or Google+ using that little F or G+ button right down there below this post.
