Blog Anniversary! Luau!

Wow! Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Blog!

Thank you so much, friends! I never could have predicted such joy!

You are a generous, sharing, caring community

and my life is richer for knowing you.

I hope I have given something back to you,

'cause you sure have enriched my life with your friendship.

Thank you.

And now, I promised you a few "Triple Birthday Party"

Thank you so much for visiting, commenting,

being my bloggy friends.

Always,

2 years and a big thank-you to You!

Big smile as I discover that today is my 2-year Blog Anniversary!
Thank you so much for the enrichment and encouragement in so many ways, on so many levels.
Thank you for visiting and for reading and for commenting. It's a fact that you do make my day.

Me blogging is a feat in itself because not only am I very shy, but I never thought I could use a computer to accomplish much!  I am  learning!

And, I celebrate a little over 2 years of visiting and loving and being inspired by all of you creative stars in my life!  Yeah!

Thank you followers! Thank you, friends! ♥Love and my favorite hydrangeas for you to enjoy on this beautiful Sunday:

 May you have peace and sunshine,

and a few moments to do whatever it is that you enjoy most.

...and isn't it a miraculous thing of beauty that all of these stages and colors are on ONE bush? Aah!

Girl Friends and a Giveaway!

First, here's some journaling I did this week. Aren't other ladies important in your life? We are such a good and necessary support system for one another, aren't we? I sure do get that feeling, and I hope you do too. I don't know where I'd be without girl friends!

And now, Giveaway News!

Today is my ONE YEAR BLOG ANNIVERSARY, I really want to give you 70+ followers (!) a big hug and a giveaway chance to show you again how much I enjoy being here in BlogLand. 164 posts!

You have given me so much, I truly wish I could send you all a gift in the mail, but I will try my best to always give you my heartfelt thoughts, feelings, journaling, and hopefully some inspiration....and more giveaways in the future. (In fact, PaperPumpkin.etsy is having an anniversary at the end of this month, too, so keep an eye out!)

Now, on with this Blog Giveaway!

My lovely daughter, Mia Michelle, from miabeads.etsy has offered to give away a pair of earrings!

You may choose these "Smoke" Earrings in gray...

...or these "Looking Glass" Earrings in light blue,

...or "Jet", in black vintage. All are Gold Plated. You may even choose which style of pierced wire you'd like: leverback, kidney wire, or french wire (bottom).

All you have to do is leave me a comment about something that makes you smile, and your earring choice! I will randomly choose a winner on Tuesday Night (July 20th) before my bedtime!

Thank you so very much, and keep smiling! Happy Weekend!
