Hello, hello!!
It's a big day here at Our Charmed Life! Today, I am celebrating my bicentennial blog post (cue the confetti!)! The BIG 200!! I made a birthday card to commemorate this occasion....
Anyway, it's hard for me to believe that I have reached this milestone especially since I started this blog back in 2008 as a place to record stories and share pictures with my family. There are still a few personal stories and photos sprinkled in along the way, but my blog really evolved in 2011 into a place to share cards and paper crafted projects.
I went back into the archive and found the first cards I shared on the blog:
That bird and branch set you see in the pink card was my very first clear stamp set- it is by Hero Arts. I think I got it as a gift with purchase at Archivers. How do you like the lighting? My automatic flash is rocking those cards and the cake stand. :o)
I feel like I have learned SO much since those early days, and the fact that I continue to learn, evolve as a crafter and maintain a desire to learn new things is what keeps me so passionately interested in this fantastic creative outlet.
So I am doing a little giveaway to celebrate! This first winner will get this fun set called Banner Up by Technique Tuesday:
The second winner will get this Floral stamp + die set from Hero Arts:
Just leave me a comment if you would like to be entered in the drawing. If you follow my blog or become a follower, leave another comment. :o) Please make sure that I have a way to get a hold of you via your comment profile or spell out your email address in your comment. It makes me so sad when I can't get in contact with winners. The giveaway is open to international friends as well!
Please leave your comments by Sunday, April 28 at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. I will draw winners and announce them here on the blog on Monday, April 29. Woo hoo!
Oh, and I should mention that these giveaways are not sponsored. This is just me sharing. :o)
Good luck and thanks for stopping in to celebrate with me!
