It's time to party!
And to celebrate my 3 year blogging anniversary I am giving away this beautiful mantel clock!
My hubby's entrepreneurship class builds these and then sales them for a small profit.
I thought something handmade would be the perfect fit !
Now I still can't believe its been 3 years and that I've stuck with it.
I decided to make some mosaic's to highlight some of my posts from this past year. It's always fun to look back, a journal of sorts.
February 2011
Valentine's day of course!
More February with a mix of hubby and Addison !
March/April 2011
Easter.
Hubby building me an ottoman
A student project
May/June 2011
Weddings, babies, lilacs, tablescapes!
June/July 2011
Visiting with Jane and Al.
Gardening, tables and babies of course~
August 2011
New grand-daughter and back to Arizona in 110+ degree heat I might add.
But at home my hydrangeas are blooming and we have no shortage of water around here.
Autumn 2011
Apples, deer, changing trees, pumpkin topiaries, and tables, no wonder we all love Autumn!
December 2011
A winter wonderland around here but not for long.
Right now we have no snow and that's unusual for us.
In fact we hit 50 degrees last week in January, in Wisconsin, amazing!
Celebrating what is really important in life!
I still find it hard to believe that I've been blogging for this long!
I followed others over from RMS and thought I would give it a whirl.
I never even expected to find a comment on my blog let alone find someone to follow along with me!
I've made some amazing friendships along the way and I've been fortunate to have met so many of these gals and some of their hubbies too in real life!
When I go to Arizona I feel like I have a whole gang of gals to meet up with!
Golly I love it!
And hubby and I get together with Jane and Al on a regular basis...and boy do we have fun together!
So please help me celebrate by entering my give-away!
Just leave me a comment if your a follower or would like to become one!
And for a 2nd chance to win put a little post on your side-bar and come back and let me know.
I will draw a winner next Sunday!
Have a wonderful week and know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you!
Cindy
