Who would have thought that I would blog one hundred posts...that I would befriend such wonderful and talented ladies from all over the world...that I would open an etsy shop...that I would take my desire for domesticity to new lengths...that I would live, eat, and breathe crafting...
Who would have thought that my new best friend would be spray paint...that people would drool over pictures I post of things from the thrift store...that I would start clipping coupons...that I would dare paint without primer...that I would become obsessed with holidays...
Who would have thought that I would be up to my eyeballs in projects...that I would give up scrapbooking for new creative ideas...that I would buy mod podge...
that I would learn how to use power tools...and that I would pick up free junk off the side of the road...
Well...I sure didn't...
But thanks to all of you...I did.
Your friendship, craftiness, wisdom, encouragement, and advice has kept me blogging almost a year later and I am still loving every moment of it. So thank you for loving domestic fashionista and being a source of encouragement and freedom for my creative endeavors. You understand me and my passions. I was once afraid to be creative...and domestic...but you reminded me that it was okay...and that it was wonderful!
So as a thank you and in celebration of making it to one-hundred, I am hosting a domestically fashionable giveaway for all of my fantastic and lovely readers!
One lucky winner is going to walk away carrying this darling toile tote bag...
So with any good giveaway, here are the rules (aka shameless advertisement)...
1. Leave a comment telling me what you like about Domestic Fashionista...or things you would like to see more of.
2. Get an extra entry for each of the following: blog about it, tweet about it, become a follower, add the button...yes the button is back! I have no code for it though because I am too frugal (poor, cheap, call it what you want) to pay to host it. So go ahead and right click it, save it as a picture and then upload the picture into your sidebar. Then add this link back:
http://domestic-fashionista.blogspot.com/
3. Make sure to comment for each individual entry you would like to be entered.
4. Giveaway closes Friday at noon.
Good luck and thanks for celebrating with me!
Congratulations on 100 from your #1 Follower/Fan/whatever!!!! ;) Aweeeeeesome giveaway!
