Come January 24th, I will have been blogging for exactly one year!
To show my appreciation, I decided to host a giveaway this month. I'm posting the Rafflecopter form today so all you faithful blog visitors can start signing up. Then I'll announce the winners on the official anniversary date.
I also decided this would be perfect to pair with L.G. Keltner's Beginnings Blogfest.
In the interest of keeping it short and sweet—and getting you to that Rafflecopter as quickly as possible (C'mon. Admit it. That's the reason you're still reading. :P)—I decided to link my very first blog post and a guest post I did about my blogging experiences. If you've never read them, click on over. :)
*whistles and looks around*
Good. You're back.
Now enter the drawing below for a chance to win some neat prizes!
I'll announce the winners on the official blogiversary day—Thursday, January 24th. :D

Deadline for entering the giveaway is over.

(Rafflecopter gadget moved to tomorrow's post.)
I'll announce the winners then.
Good luck!
Giveaways rock! And happy early blogoversary! After reading your first blog post, I'm ashamed of how amateurish my first one was. Yours had a great voice, and I felt so unsure of what I was writing. Oh well. We all have to start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my blogfest!
Aww. Thanks!
DeleteI'm glad I took part in your blogfest. What a super idea! :D
A year of blogging is a milestone. Mine is in March. Awesome giveaway to celebrate too.
ReplyDeleteHappy bloggiversary! Here's to the next year. They really fly by. I was shocked this year to discover I'm going for my third. ;-)

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your one year of blogging! That's a great achievement! Here's to another faboo year! :D
ReplyDeleteYay for you and one year coming up! I began blogging in July of 2012, but first started with Wordpress. When I switched over to Blogger, I think a few posts got lost in the transfer. But it might be fun to go digging around and see what I posted. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly delivered what you intended your blog to do. I quote, "is to post helpful and interesting things for my followers to read." I had to giggle about the self-promotion line, too. :)
Congrats on the upcoming blogoversary! I've truly enjoyed your blog and often tweet your posts.
ReplyDeleteyay for you! and i thought i was already a follower! silly me!
ReplyDeletei am now =) here's to a prosperous ear 2!
year 2! (darn ipad!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a year! That was a great first post, with a strong voice already. Mine is cringeworthy to read!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! It's a fun community.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And that's an awesome giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteYou were much more self-assured than I was when I started. Knowledgeable, with direction and insight. I wrote my first post, then stared at a blank page for a year and a half!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary! The first one is what? The flash drive anniversary? Kudos for making it so informative and entertaining.
'Flash drive anniversary' LOL
DeleteI should be glad, then. My husband upgraded that to external hard drive. :P
Wow! A year of blogging! Congratulations!!! ^^ :D
ReplyDeleteHappy bloggiversary. I am a new follower. It is nice to meet you. Thanks for hosting this awesome prize give a way.
ReplyDeleteI just left a comment. Blogger flashed a box about editing up. And my comment vanished. At least to me. Sorry if I appear twice. What I said was:
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Awesome giveaway :)

ReplyDeleteOnly a year? You seem like such a pro :)
