Celebrating 5 Years of Blogging!

Hello all you sweet friends!

FIVE YEARS!!  How can that be?

(via Pinterest)

Coming up the first week of February is my 5 year blogoversary and I can’t tell you how exciting all that is for me!  To think that I have stuck with this for FIVE WHOLE YEARS and it is what I do now is just mind-boggling. Pinch me!  I wouldn’t be where I am if not for all of you out there who read SO faithfully and are here day after day.

So, in honor of that, I’m going to open the door for some of you wonderful vendors and small business owners to get in on a few days of giveaways with me.  I’d love to offer some really fun products that everyone will be excited to win and give my readers a chance to take something home.

Let’s have a party week!

If you have a business and products to share, I’d love to talk to you, so please email me for more information.  I haven’t decided yet how I’ll structure it all, but hopefully it will be 3 or 4 days or so, with more than one giveaway a day.

I’d love to have some fun with this and hopefully share some really great home products for all my readers.

Email me at:  [email protected] if you’re interested in getting in on the fun!  I’d love to hear from you.

    As I was adding BPM at Twitter this morning, I was thinking about how blogging has changed over these 5 years!! Wow!

    Happy you jumped in 5 years ago and happy you encouraged me to jump in a month later! It is hard for me to believe it has been that many years!

    Cheers for many more, Rhoda!
