Just a reminder that my 1st giveaway ends tomorrow night at midnight. I've had quite an upsurge in twitter followers but am not sure if it's due to the giveaway or other reasons. If you are a person who followed me on twitter for the contest, then please leave a comment letting me know so I can add you to the drawing. Thanks & have a good night!

My 1 Year Blogiversary & a Giveaway

Shabby Apple

Friends,

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but short work weeks always seem harder than a normal 5 day week. Is it because there's more work to try & fit in? Or that the transition from a long weekend takes a bit to adjust to? Or is it just me?

So remember how I was saying that July was going to be a great month because of various occasions? Well one of those happens to be my 1 year blogiversary, which was yesterday. I can’t believe that it’s been a year already. In some ways, it feels like I’ve been doing this all my life & in other ways, I can’t even imagine how a year has already gone by & how I still feel very much like a newbie. What I know is that by blogging, I’ve made some incredible friends & have constantly been amazed & inspired by this online community.  

 

In order to celebrate, I'm hosting my very first giveaway. So without further ado - the giveaway includes this fantastic book:

Creative Time and Space: Making Room for Making Art, Rice Freeman-Zachery

                                                                            AND

The next three handmade cards I create. There are 3 ways to enter: 1) Leave a comment below telling me what makes this summer special for you; 2) Follow me on Facebook, Twitter or this blog (check out the sidebar of my blog for these buttons) & leave a comment telling me which one(s) you chose; and 3) Spread the word via your blog, FB or Twitter & leave me a link for the one(s) you used. The contest ends next Thursday, the 14th at midnight & I will announce the winner on the 15th. Good luck!

I just found out that my Intro to Letterpress Class was cancelled for tomorrow due to a broken part. I'm disappointed but choosing to look at it as having a free day. Then, there's brunch on Sunday to meet our friends' newest addition to their family. Have a wonderful weekend.
