Kind of a big deal around here...

Yup-little ol' me hit 400 followers today! Who woulda thunk?!

I know everyone and their dog says this but I really did start this thing to keep my friends and family updated on my life. For me-this is true because I no has Facebook. Yes-you read that right. I don't have Facebook. So truthfully, that's the background behind all this. I never even imagined I would even have 10 followers and now 400?! 400 people that what to read my musings on a daily basis?! I'm quite flattered!

I can't even imagine how it would feel to hit the 4 digits! 1,000? 5,000? That's huge! (& kind of daunting!)

I've truly met some outstanding women through my little snippit of the world wide web and have made some friendships that would have never been possible without Blogland! I've tried to describe it to "outsiders" (aka-non bloggers) and I'm pretty sure they think I have an entourage of imaginary friends.

So be it. They're awesome imaginary friends...

Anywho-I just want to say THANK YOU, thank you, thank you...
...for reading, following, commenting, tweeting, and emailing! I love, love, love it all! :)

In honor of all the shenanigans, guess who's doing her very first giveaway??
(in true bachelorette form)

So I kiiiinnndda know this girl who's making our little world prettier one blog at a time. You see this lil' sassy design of mine?? Yea-she did that. And I've sweet talked her into completely revamping one fabulous winner's blog!

That's right-I'm (well, "we're"...since I'm PhotoShop challenged and she's the queen) going to COMPLETELY sassify one lucky winner's blog! From header, to button, to bio, to fonts, to signature, to background...it's ALL included!

(A few examples of Meg's awesome possum-ness can be found here.)

How to enter:

1. Follow my blog (duh)
2. Leave a comment below (whatever you want...how awesome I am, how you found my blog, what your blog link is, how Meg's blog designs are better than anyone else's...)
3. Tweet about the giveaway (& follow me on Twitter so I know about it!)
4. Include the giveaway info in your next blog post

Giveaway will be open 'til Thursday, August 18 at midnight.
Winner will be selected Friday, August 19 via Random.org!

Uhh ya...so what are you waiting for?!
Love, Love

    I got rid of my facebook when I started a serious relationship with a boy, who is now my fiance and thats when I started my blog, but I caved in and got facebook back like last week! I found your blog thru someone else's blog who said you had good wedding posts (I'm planning a wedding you see) and they were right :)
