OK, is it "blog-versary"? "Blog-i-versary"? "Bloggerversary"? Who knows. But, I'm celebrating my first year of blogging (or "blabbing") on Feb. 25th!! I goofed yesterday & thought is was on the 28th, but it's not.
I started this blog as a friend to my Etsy shop, 'WhiMSy love', which I opened shortly after. And, oh, it was a lonely first few months here. I seriously heard the wind whistling through blogland as I wrote those early posts. I love being able to express myself in this way & to have made many friends! Thanks to everyone who reads this stuff! And thanks for all the comments--they really keep this crafty gal smilin'!
I realize that Feb. 25th is RIGHT around the corner, but I'm gonna have a drawing anyway. I don't expect many participants, so your odds of winning are in the "Super-Duper" category! Especially since I'm drawing TWO names!!!
This is also sort of a launch & celebration of my first-ever watercolor adventures. My cupcake watercolors will be arriving to WhiMSy love next week! I am really proud of them. So, one winner receive a postcard pack of all 8 of my most recent cupcake watercolors: "Cup Meets Cake", "Ballerina Princess Cupcake", "Monsieur Cupcake", "Superhero Cupcake Boy", "Girly Girl Cupcake", "Miss Diva Cupcake", "Mr. Clowny Cupcake" & "Jealous Muffin". Another winner will receive an 8x10 print of one of the cupcake watercolors of THEIR choice (except for "Girly Girl Cupcake"--I'm having trouble getting her colors printed correctly on the white background). They aren't even in the shop yet, so count yourself lucky!
And it's only appropriate that my cupcakes become the prizes since blogging is where I first started an affection for cupcakes & all things sweet & dessert-like. So, leave a comment my little bonbons for a chance to win!
Oh, I LOVE your beauteous cupcakes! :D I would count myself super lucky if I had some of those postcards! They are so ... SWEET! :D

Congrats on your blog-aversary!! :) LOVE the cupcakes. My little sis is a bit of a cupcake fanatic, so I'll probably be buying something from you sometime in the future for her, but I know that if I do win some postcards I'll be sharing some with her. :D

Grats on your blog-versary.
ReplyDeleteI've been lurking about for a long time, months even! Trying to break that wicked habit I have. I always enjoy your cheerful posts.
Keep on crafting and painting!! :)
Happy Anniversary! I know that lonely feeling in those first few months when you're not sure if you're just talking to yourself! But isn't it great when you start to receive comments? Here's to many more years of happy creating and blogging.
