A Blogoversary

 

March 2010 - One Year of Blogging

Guess what? My blog turns one year old this month! To celebrate this wonderful occasion, I have a few special features to share throughout the month.

And...here's the best part...I will be having several giveaways. What am I giving away? You'll just have to wait and see.

Chocolate!

The first week's giveaway - well, we must start with chocolate. I cannot have an occasion such as this pass by without a little chocolate indulgence and inspiration.





So, the first winner will be awarded a Cadbury chocolate bar and a copy of Tamera Alexander's Beyond This Moment. Click on the title to see my review.

2) Receive an extra entry by becoming a follower, or by reminding me that you already follow.

3) Receive a bonus entry by posting about this giveaway on your Facebook page. Please leave an additional comment telling me so.

4) Receive a bonus entry by posting this giveaway on your blog. Please leave an additional comment with the link.

Happy writing, blogging, and reading:)

  34. I was directed to your blog by Susan Reinhardt's Facebook page. Congratulations on your blogoversary. What an exciting thing. I've taken a look around, and have decided to follow. It looks like a great place! I'm looking forward to learning more about you as you blog away. I live in Canada right now, but I do have a US address that I can use...does that disqualify me from the giveaway? If so, I understand. I'm still going to continue following anyway! :) Congratulations again!
