2nd Blogiversary Celebration GIVEAWAY!


Well 2 years ago today I made the fateful decision to start my own blog, and it turned out to be one of the things I am most proud of producing during my life.

I had no idea how much satisfaction it would bring, by providing a longed for outlet for my writing and pictures. I  have also gained wonderful new friends and discovered bloggers are the very nicest people online, and I have even got to meet a few in person. I have found myself continually challenged by the brilliance of other bloggers and amateur photographers to improve my own skills.

I have learned to do things with HTML code I would never have dreamed possible! I get to travel around the world through the eyes and pens of talented bloggers everywhere, without ever leaving home. In times of celebration you all celebrate with me, in times of sadness or stress you have been wonderfully supportive, wise and kind.

As I celebrate this milestone, I would like to thank you all for being along for the ride and wanting to return regularly and leave me great comments. So I decided to have a bumper Blogiversary Giveaway.

I have put together a gift of many of the things I personally love and spoil myself with regularly. This gift is designed for pampering either yourself ladies, or spoiling a loved one gentlemen.

It includes pampering smellies from The Body Shop like a Mango and a Coconut Body Butter, Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray and Lotion, White Musk Shower Gel and Scented Body Glistener and a Build Your Own Scent Kit, where you layer perfumes to make a unique scent.

Then you will need to scent the air around you, so there's a Frosted Berry Reed Diffuser and a Spa Dreams fragrance oil.

Once your smelling wonderful it's time to make a cup of my favourite herbal tea, Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It is deliciously warming and everyone I make it for ends up buying it themselves, so now it's regularly sold out locally!

Then you need to settle back with a great book and relax with some reading. For this I chose a favourite, 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold, also in movie theatres now.

And finally what would a gift be without Chocolate! So a bag of my favourite Chocolate Coated Pomegranates, or in case you're being good, Weightwatchers Pecan Crowns. I will also throw in a box of Walkers Shortbread, a Brit fave and melt in your mouth delicious.


One person will win all this and here is what you need to do to be in the draw.

Leave a comment = 1 entry
Make me laugh out loud at your comment = + 1 entry
Be a Follower already or Follow me  = + 2 entries (mention in comment)
Feature this giveaway on your blog = + 4 entries (mention in comment)
Live in the USA, apologies to anyone else, but the shipping would bankrupt me!

You have until midnight CET Friday, February 12th to enter and the winner will be drawn using Randomizer over the weekend and announced Monday morning.

Good luck!

I just checked my old posts and it was on your second day of blogging, 2 years ago tomorrow, that you first commented on my blog...and the rest is history, filed away in the blog archives.

So pleased we became blogpals. Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

Good luck y'all!

Before I can use all the goodies I'm going to need to do some major pruning of the shrubbery around here! My body, not the green/brown shrubs outside! And since this last Monday was War Path Monday on all Razors that aint happenin until I find some other form of hair removal!

Congrats on two years of blogging. I don't live in the US and I really can't even think of anything funny to say:( But looks like you gotta a whole lot of love for Valentine's Day! How many trips in the car did it take to get it all home? Happy Blogiversary and keep up the good work!!

Oh drat. I missed your deadline as I was travelling yesterday to Ohio (yes,again - gramms not doing well). What a marvelous giveaway Sarah! I'll extend my congrats in advance to the winner.

I'm glad we've met online and since we're not too far apart as the crow flies, hope we have the chance to meet someday. Perhaps on my next road trip to AZ to spend time with my mom!

Have a great weekend!!
