Today is the 1 year anniversary of La vie...J'aime!
What started out as something for me to do during potential unemployment, as grown into a fun hobby and so much more... from knowing nothing about the blogosphere to now having my very own domain name; to having just a handful of readers (thanks friends and family!) to having nearly 250 followers; from anonymity to being on StyleBoston- it's been quite the year!
To celebrate and thank you all for reading, I have 2 giveaways this week- 1 to celebrate the year that has passed and 1 to celebrate the year to come!
The first giveaway is a $40 gift certificate to CSN Stores! Whether you'll spend it towards a bathroom vanity, a Dwell Studio Duvet, or a portable charcoal grill for summer tailgating, CSN has it all!
Required in 1 comment:
