4-Year Blogging Anniversary Celebration!



My blog turned 4 years old on January 1st, and I promised to have a little celebration to commemorate this milestone. I planned way back in early December to have a different kind of giveaway this time. Unlike most giveaways, you don’t enter on this post. All my faithful friends who commented during the month of December were included in a surprise drawing! 

December was a tough month for us because of hubby’s surgery. So I wasn’t able to post as much as usual. My dear blogging friends stuck with me, faithfully commented when I posted, and lifted our spirits. You have no idea how much you brightened our days! And it is precisely because of such dedication that I continue this blog and try to bring a little cheer back to you. 

So here is the surprise gift! I recently made up a batch of handmade cards that feature some of my scenic Alaska photos. 




As a token of my appreciation, a set of cards will go out to the following four winners:
 

Donna of Made in Heaven

Irene of Irene's Desk


Congratulations! And THANK YOU for being my friend!

  5. Hi Donna, Congrats on your blogaversary... I will have been blogging for 6 years in June of 2012... Hard to believe. I didn't get on Blogger until 2009 --and lost all of my info before that time when I switched. (I was on a little site called Lightblog.)

    Congrats to the winners.. That is a wonderful gift.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  7. You are such a clever girl to do your blogaversary giveaway in a different way. Makes us comment slackers think twice before saying to ourselves 'I'll be back in a little while to comment' and then letting time slip away. Congrats on 4 years and to the winners!
