1 Year Blogiversary + A Giveaway!!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend. So I realized this weekend that the last day of August was my 1 year blogiversary!! I had started this blog more than a year ago b/c I really wanted to get into blogging and at the time I was trying to figure out what I wanted to blog about. I tried a healthy and fitness one and everyday life kind of thing but it just didn't click for me.

Then after coming across other paper crafting blogs and challenges, I finally decided what I was passionate about and wanted to blog about so much that I would blog more frequently than my previous attempts. Since entering the blog world of paper crafting, I finally got my wedding album and my honeymoon scrapped and have moved on to more recent events to scrap! Not to mention becoming a Design Team member on two different teams and making great friends! It has been an amazing first year!!

So in honor of my blogiversary and an amazing first year, I am having a RAK giveaway!

5 pkgs. of Halloween themed embellies, 1 pkg. of gemstones, and 2 pkgs. Halloween ribbons. I will ship internationally!

All you have to do to win this batch of goodies is:

• You must be a follower
• Leave me a comment for a chance at the prize. 
• Leave me a second comment that you have posted about my giveaway on your blog for a second chance to get your name in the draw. This could be a post on your blog or putting the picture in your sidebar. Please leave me your blog address so that I can check it out!
• Leave me a 3rd comment that you are a follower on my Facebook page.  http://www.facebook.com/ScrappinExpectTheUnexpected

That is a total of 3 times you could get your name in the draw for this prize!! The winner will be announced on September 20th! You have until September 19th, 11:59 p.m. CST! The winner chosen will have 2 weeks after prize is announced to claim their prize before they forfeit their win. 

Spread the word about my very first blog giveaway for my blogiversary!!

Favorite Valentine's Day Memory + Let's Scrap Blog Hop Winner

Hey Everyone!!

The blog hop has ended. :( It was a great success and there were so many wonderful creations! Thanks for playing along and thanks to Mindi for organizing this fantastic hop!!

I was a winner of all of you fabulous ladies following me now! I went from 15 followers to 99 followers! I think a giveaway is in store on this blog soon so keep checking back for more details really soon!

I really enjoyed reading all your favorite Valentine/love memories and now I think I will share one of mine. My husband(then fiance) on Valentine's Day 2008 surprised me after I had just come back from class. We were both still in college and I had just come back to the apartment and when I opened the door and looked in the living room I saw this:

So I followed the rose petals to the bedroom and  then I found this on my bed:

A giant teddy bear, a Beauty and the Beast snowglobe, and a bottle of bubble bath. He wrote i love you in rose petals and then had a bunch of Valentine's cards with a letter on each of them that said "Be My Valentine".

This year I got a surprise on the counter: a bunch of flowers in a mason jar with a coupon he made:

This is only the 2nd batch of flowers that I've received from him in our 7 years together. I was really excited about them. I can't really complain though because of all the other unique things he does...such as naming a star on our 2 year anniversary(dating). I also loved the fact that when he woke up and asked if I liked the flowers, he also asked if he made the right choice in not getting roses. Roses are nice but I really love different less traditional flowers and color! He knows me so well. :) 

So, now what you've really all been waiting for. The winner of this bunch of fabulous goodies:

I put all the names on strips of paper in a basket. For those of you who commented and did the sketch, you got your name in twice:

I had my hubby shake it up and select a name out of the basket:

And the winner selected randomly is:

Congratulations Kelly (flutterbyes)! http://letsscrap.ning.com/profile/KellyButton?xg_source=profiles_memberList
