2 Years, 388 posts, & 2 GIVEAWAYS!!!!!!!!!!

Two years ago on this very day I started this little blog and what a wonderful journey it's been!

I've met some amazing people, learned all kinds of things through tutorials, shared some of our fun crafts and projects, and recorded our family's adventures along the way. I love having a creative outlet that at the same time lets me preserve our family's memories for years to come!

So with that, let's have a GIVEAWAY in honor of my 2nd blogaversary!! Make that TWO GIVEAWAYS to keep things fun!

Meet Emily the Pony!

She is too cute for words!!! She already has a loving home via the little pumpkin's Easter basket (Shhhh, don't tell her!) but Emily has LOTS of friends.

How would you like to win one???!!!! Sarah of Bit of Whimsy Dolls is the creative genius behind these sweet hand crafted dolls. And there are so many cute designs it's hard to pick just one! Here, see for yourself...

Ellie Jo Kennedy the Lamb Tori the Bunny and lest you think there's nothing for the boys...Meet Frank the Pony And if winning your very own Bit of Whimsy Doll wasn't enough, Sarah has graciously agreed to give away one of her PDF patterns to a lucky winner!!! So if you know how to sew, you can make your very own Bit of Whimsy Doll custom to your liking :) Sarah has a generous heart with a soft spot for children in need. Check out her Pay it Forward program HERE.

THE NITTY GRITTY...

2 WINNERS!
(one will win a Bit of Whimsy Doll and one will win a Bit of Whimsy PDF Pattern)

Contest closes next Saturday, March 13th at 12 noon CST.

Random Drawing
(I'll let the little pumpkin draw 2 winners from a hat and announce the winners that evening...AFTER the little pumpkin's birthday bash!)

To Enter (up to 3 chances per person / please leave separate comments for each one):
1 entry = visit Bit of Whimsy Dolls and let me know your favorite.
1 entry = become a follower of my blog or let me know you already follow.
1 entry = blog about this giveaway and leave me a link to your post in the comments.

Thank you Sarah and thank you to all of you for making the last 2 years so much fun!

    Wow! Did we really start blogging just one day apart from each other. Happy Blogaversary! You have been and are such an inspiration to me.

    The Little Pumpkins is going to love her little pony!

    I think my favorite is Kennedy the Lamb. Love the fabric colors and she is just too sweet.

    Happy Blog-versary! How do you just pick one?!?! Reese would probably pick one of the monkeys since she is head over heals for monkeys! Love the "Little Peanut" ones since it is Reese's nickname :) Also love Kennedy the lamb since that is Reese's middle name and I am using a lamb on her Easter outfit...hmmm...maybe one will have to find there way into Reese's Easter basket that is amde of matching fabric! Also, love the Ellie Jo's pig tails. What a great find!

    My favorite are the Lambs. My daughter adopted an orphaned lamb last year. His horns got too big and we had to sell him. She wants a girl lamb this year. She loves any lamb she sees.
