PAY IT FORWARD!

Today is a party day! It's my blogoversary!
I've been sitting here doing this for a year now! I have loved keeping in contact with family and friends, finding long lost friends and family and meeting new friends. Oh, and doing some journaling along the way. This has been way too much fun!

A few months ago, I entered Jenn's Pay-it-Forward contest, and I won!

I love it!!! Thanks, Jenn!

I have never met Jenn. In fact, I was just a lurker on her blog because I liked her hair tutorials (which I completely recommend) but when she had this contest and offered a homemade personalized gift, I couldn't resist commenting. And then I actually won! I opened my mail the other day and there was my package from Jenn and I was so excited. My neighbor was standing next to me getting her mail also and she was so amazed that someone I met blogging would be so kind and send me something like this. It totally made my day. It was like my birthday, something just for me. Since my blog is private, I don't have the lurker problem, I just have lots of non-commenter's. So, come on and play along.

Here's the rules, directly from Jenn's post to mine:


You post a comment on my blog & on Monday,

I'll be announcing who the random winners are.

There will be 3 winners, so you've got a great chance of

winning one of my fabulous prizes

(not telling what - who doesn't like surprises).


If you are one of the 3 winners, you are responsible for keeping

this contest going. If you do not win,

I'm sorry---it doesn't mean that I don't love you---it just means

that the random generator didn't pick your comment.

But, feel free to carry on this contest---win or lose.


♥ ♥ ♥

Feel free to comment as many times as you like.

You have to comment on this post to enter.

So up your chances and comment as much as you like.

Now, ready...

Congrats on being "published"!! It was a very good post. Happy blogoversary, by the way. Mine is on the 12th! Boy, it's been a very long year!

I have never disapproved of him getting a bike, he just needs to look at the ones we can afford instead of the ones that cost twice as much as my car!! I do think it would be fun to have someone to go on rides with and with gas prices lately it is more tempting!

That is a cool gift. It is funny how non-bloggers can't understand how it works, huh? My friend is totally amazed that people you don't REALLY know will send you stuff. Like my great batik I got from Latree. SO this pay it forward is a cool idea. Would love to win, I have NO idea what I would give away IF I won..... Guess I'll deal with that IF I get picked! :)

That candle is gorgeous. What a fun idea!

This seems like a fun idea! I am horrible at mailing things, so if I get to pay it forward, I will have to enlist the help of someone who is good at following through.

Stop and smell the Daisies said...

Teach me how to make my comments thing a little pop up like yours, instead of taking people to an entirely different page! I like this much better!

Stop and smell the Daisies said...

I wonder how many random things I can think to say for this contest!?!

Stop and smell the Daisies said...

I really should go eat lunch before church!

Stop and smell the Daisies said...

I did read the lesson for RS today, did you?

Stop and smell the Daisies said...

Maybe I can make up a tongue twister...

Peggy Piper propperly eats pumpkin pancakes...

Say that fast 3 times!

Ok, now I'm just being silly!

I'm hoping to get tickets for the open house tomorrow morning--we're thinking the 11th and then head to Oregon from your house the next day.
