It's My Blogaversary!

Yep. One year today. Aw blog, we've come such a long way! I definitely never thought that a year later I'd have over 200 followers! Thank you to each of you for reading along and playing my silly games! I hope to be here next year at this time too, and I hope even more that you'll be here to celebrate!

Speaking of celebrating, let's raise a toast...oh, what's that? You don't have a drink? Hm. Well, I can't quite reach all of your houses to get you a glass of bubbly, and me sending out champagne in the mail is quite certainly illegal in all 50 states. What I could offer though is a cup of java, or your favorite tea, or maybe a muffin, because I mean who doesn't love a muffin? Yep, you know what I'm getting at.

My Happy House Blogaversary Giveaway!



To thank my loyal readers, I'm giving away a $10 Starbucks Gift Card, because well who doesn't like a good Starbucks once in awhile? Entering is simple, just please follow the directions below.

1. Leave a comment linking to your favorite Happy House post!
2. Leave a SEPARATE comment either telling me you are a new follower or an old timer!

So this means you can enter up to two times, once by linking a favorite post and another by telling me you are a follower! You will only be counted two times if they are two separate comments though...it gets too complicated if they are put together! Oh yeah! The contest ends at 11:59pm next Friday!

And while you are perusing the blog, don't forget to check in for the Happy House New Year Challenge! We'll be checking in again tomorrow! Don't lose your motivation now, you are almost at the end!

  5. Congratulations! I love your blog.

    At the moment, my favourite posts are the one's about Carl's birthday because it is my husband's (of two weeks today!) 21st birthday on Monday and since we're doing the big party at a restaurant on Tuesday, I wanted to make breakfast and dinner at home special, so I looked back at these posts for inspiration.

    P.S. I'm Australian so sadly not eligible for an entry into your comp. But I wanted to comment anyway :)

  21. I am a new follower from Georgia. I don't know how to put a link in a web log (I am a grandmother and not too computer savy yet) but I do want to congratulate you on your anniversary. One idea you gave me was about a product to keep my shower clean, Arm and Hammer Daily Shower Spray. It really does work. Thanks!
