Two years ago from today I was bored while Collin was watching baseball & started this little blogaroo. So, I figured since I take any excuse for eating cupcakes & giving away fun stuff this is a great day to do it. Happy 2 year blogiversary from 'just us!'

Erin is married to Mikey. Collin, Mikey and I were chums in high school and still get together for Utah Jazz games every so often (go easy on us tomorrow Lakers!) Erin is so talented at designing blogs & for the month of April all your blog styling needs are 15% off... check out her website here.

Now back to the celebration... Leave a comment with your name & your favorite thing about blogs to win 1 of the 3 blog styling packages. yay! If you don't have a blog this is a great excuse to start one.

Happy 2! :)

I love blogging because I'm one curious chick and love to read about other people's lives. :) For me it's also a link to my home country. I started my blog so my family & friends could read about my everyday life and keep in touch. But now I have fun friends all over the world. Fun way to get to know people from who knows where. :)

And yes, gotta love all the inspiration out there too.

...Plus... I love to "file" things I like to my blog. Fun way to remember ideas and inspiration.

:)

Megan said...

I like to blog because my family lives far away from me, and they enjoy seeing more the events of our daily lives that they can't see in person. I love to read blogs for the ideas and inspiration I get from them! Thanks for all you share on your blog, and happy blirthday!

Happy Blog-versary! :)

Robyn said...

Happy Blogiversary!

The thing I LOVE about blogs are all of the absolutely wonderful ideas out there...so many creative people!!

Jessica Munk said...

Wow, there are a lot of reasons I blog. Its an easy journal to keep with pics, we can keep family who live out of state updated with our happenings. It is fun to stay in touch with old friends this way. And it helps me be inspired too. And it gives me the motivation to try something new, whether it be baking, sewing, crafting, or taking a new perspective on life!

Mari-Beth said...

Elizabeth,
Happy B-Day "Just Us!!!" I have to say that YOU were actually my inspiration to start my own blog last June! I had never blogged or read blogs until you won SOY and then I got hooked on your blog!

Now that I have my own blog it gives me the chance to express myself whether I am happy, sad or disgruntled about something. I love taking pix of life, so its another excuse for me to share our life with our loved ones!

Thanx for such a great addiction Elizabeth!
Mari-Beth

Celeste E said...

I just found the blogging community about 8 months ago. I'm hooked now! I feel like I've made tons of new friends around the world. I love the ideas, shared experiences (and music!) When I shared something with my husband from a blog I read one day, he looked at me and said "Why don't you start a blog?" I thought to myself, maybe I will!

Jennifer Stanley said...

I love blogs because they are so inspirational. I have a few I follow religiously, like Just Us, and really get some great ideas. Thanks for the chance to win and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

laurensmommy said...

Happy 2nd birthday!!

My favorite thing about blogging is that it is quicker than scrapbooking (which I love) and when I finally do get around to scrapping pages about my baby girl, I can refer back to the blog for specifics about what she was up to at a certain age!!

*What I love best about YOUR blog is the fun music that you always have on your music player!! :)

Shannon b said...

happy blog birthday!!!
I've been blogging for 3 1/2 years and love it! I love keeping tabs on the lives of my friends & family members, reading about their adventures & funny stories. I love reading blogs like yours for the visual candy -- always so inspiring. But mostly I love blogs because, for me, it is a place to unwind & chill.

Katarina Florance said...

I check this blog out daily. Happy Two Year!
My favorite thing about blogs has got to be the personal touch you can still create in such a mass public venue.

Kathy said...

I actually love to read real life Mom stories. It makes me feel like I'm not alone and that "stuff" happens to everyone.

laura said...

My favorite thing about blogs are the great pictures, the honest perspectives, the fun music (like on yours!) and the inspiration!!!

Cassi said...

If I win I would actually start blogging -- here's hoping I win! What I love about blogs is the sense of community and genuine warmth, care, and concern that exists in the crafty sphere.

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

Amy said...

p.s. super cute cupcake <3 yum

Kacey Elliott said...

Happy Blogiversary!!! What a great prize! Mine needs a makeover badly, just no time to do it :( As for what I love about blogs, well I find so much inspiration from the blogs I visit and get so many great ideas and ways of using things I already have. But I also really love that I can connect with people across the world, people I would NEVER in a million years ever get to meet if it weren't for their fabulous blogs and the wonderful world of the Internet!

Johansen Family said...

I love blogs because it is a great way for our family and friends to see what we are up to. My husband is in the air force so we move alot! I also am glad that we have one so that while my husband is deployed he can check in on me and our boys. This way he will see how much they will be growing and changing!
Love your blog and all the fun things that you share!

Jummy said...

That is one delicious looking cupcake!

The thing I love most about blogs is the sense of community it builds. No matter where you live, and how much of a stranger you feel like in that environment, if you just reach out to the world with your blog you will meet others like you. It's really wonderful!

Lacey said...

Happy Blog Birthday!

I have to admit I'm obsessed with blogs! I love the creativity and the inspiration from all the different blogs I read. "Blog Stalking" has totally opened my mind in the crafting area. From scrapbooking, knitting, sewing, photography, music and Elsie Flannigan(she's her own category!) I've learned SO much in the past year. I am definitely addicted to blogs!!

mandi said...

from others I love all of the great inspiration there is out there. for myself, I love having a place to keep things, vent, and tell random stories (depending on my mood). It's just nice to have a place to go.

miju miju said...

I love to be connected with "the whole world" - to see what other women think, do, create and to share my outlook on life.
Happy anniversary from Germany !

Carla G. said...

Thanks so much for the daily inspiration you provide. I also LOVE the music! I have a teensy tiny blog and would love the opportunity to fancy it up! ~Carla

Helen Sh said...

Oooh this giveaway is so what my tired old blog needs. I love surfing blogs because the make me realise I am not alone in this crazy craft versus life balance I am trying to achieve. I can connect with a total stranger and nod my head in agreement at so much. They fire me up and they also make me stop and realise what good fortune I have in my life. So please can I enter into the giveaway, pretty please.

I very computer illiterate Mum in the UK!

memoryminded said...

I love blogging because it has opened up a whole new outlet for creativity for me. It has also been an easier, up to the minute way to "scrapbook" what is going on in my world. I'm still stuck in 2007 in my real scrapbook world, and since I've started blogging I feel caught up for this year even though it is all online for right now.
Thank you for all of your inspiration, great music and smiles. Happy blogaversery!

LEXI said...

OH MY..This would SO perfect! I would love to start a blog because I love how you can go back and remember life's little (big) moments and the creative outlet it can be! But I want my blog to START OFF looking cool and not generic so this prize would be PERFECT!!!!
And...seeing your super cool Miss Ruby Sue necklace made me want one! So I requested a custom bib with a splash of orange for this Mother's Day..and so The Lexi Bib necklace is born! Thanks for introducing me to such a cool etsy store! See..that's what I love about blogging!! :)
HQAve a great Blogaverssary!!

Jamie in WA said...

Blogs.. they are inspiring, addicting, creative, stress relief.. until I try to make one of my own. I don't have one, but have much to share with the world... need help to get started!

anniekate said...

I love that I can keep my family and friends connected. However, my blog is in desperate need of a make-over. Specifically, a blog banner. I have no clue how to do it. Ahhh, so embarassed! This would be perfect :)

Holly said...

Can i just say I'm so glad you started this blog, it's one of the first 5 websites I visit every day.
I would love to win a Blog makeover, I can never get mine to look the way I want it to.

amy w. said...

Happy Birthday! :D

The thing I love about blogs, is that I feel closer to my family far away, especially my sister who lives in Australia. It's our way of spending time together and sharing our lives without the plane ride. ;)

Becky J. said...

I love that my parents and in-laws get to regularly see pictures of their grandchildren since they don't get to see them too often. Before blogs they complained about not enough pictures, but not any more!

My blog totally needs a makeover and Erin is the perfect one to do it. Hope I win! :)

Most importantly...blogs are fun to stalk to get great crafty ideas! Love your hair bows, by the way!

my blog is my avenue to share life's {mostly silly} moments with my far away people. ridiculous things you'd share with your friends if they were by your side...

... but instead, they get documented for the entire world to see.

Happy Bday Blog...I Love you so!

What I Love most about blogs is finding out that someone....somewhere busted their butt on a project, shares it on their blog, and inspires me and tons of others!!

The wording is funny...but that's how I feel!!!

Kristyn said...

I use our blog to keep out of town family up to date on the latest doings of our 16 month old! The thing I love most about blogging is the connections you can make with others, especially in the scrapbooking world. It is really nice to get to know the real person behind the name! And I think it helps those in the industry to move product because of that "friendship" that we feel from reading ya'lls blogs. Thanks for sharing the little bits of you! Happy 2 years!

Linda E said...

Happy Blogiversary! I'm susre others join me in saying we sure are glad that you were a little bored two years ago. Of course content is the number one thing I look for on my favorite blogs. But some people have the prettiest, scrappiest blog banners. I would love to add that to my blog!

A blog is like your own little piece of real estate in the cyber galaxy. It's all yours -- yours to share, vent, show, speak, express everything that is you. And even if no one else looks at it, it just feels good having your own place.

sara said...

congratulations! your blog is so adorable!

Michelle said...

Happy 2nd blogiversary! I dont have a blog yet but would love to start one!
Once I found the crafty blog world, I was instantly hooked. I had to check my blog list daily for creative inspiration...I love to see the little pieces of art that everyone creates. Through blogging, I have developed a bunch of new online friends and I enjoy getting to know them better.
Your blog is one of my favorites! I love your blog for amazing inspiration and creativity, as well as seeing what fabulous shoes you have on today, or what your gorgeous girls are up to, or whatever your hubby has up his sleeve.

Chardee said...

The best thing about blogs is the fact that they can be a little bit friendship and a little bit business but a whole lot o' portrait-of-the-owner! Nothin' like checkin' in on friends--laughing at their antics--in the middle of the night!

I love reading blogs (like yours!) to get a peek into the lives of other women who like to make things. I also read them for inspiration. I need help with mine... posted a few times then my daughter get sick and was in the hospital for a long time. When she got out the experience was still so fresh I couldn't bring myself to blog it... so I am way overdue on blogging.

I love your blog and am so happy that you decided to start it two years ago-that cupcake sure looks d'lish! Was it as good as it looked??
I like the idea of blogging as it helps people stay connected. It lets you, no matter where you live, have a friendship with others, no matter where THEY live. I do not really "know" you, but I feel we are good friends and I know about you and your family-I look forward to your updates every night-you have inspired me- I recently started my own blog-I have struggled and struggled and it is still not what I want it to look like. People who blog design and other computer stuff come easy to amaze me! How nice of your friend to offer that up as a gift.

I hope you enjoyed every crumb of that cupcake--you deserve it!

I started my blog because we don't live near family and I wanted an easy way for them to keep up with our lives. My in-laws live in Europe so they get to see the kids all the time on my blog and they love it!

Trish said...

Happy Blog Birthday!!! and there is nothing better than a cupcake to celebrate!! I love blogs because they give a peek at life and inspiration.

I just recently started my blog {www.fromthefarm-jill.blogspot.com} and it's main purpose is to showcase some of my artwork and where & when I'll be teaching next. I love the communication I can get between myself & my students and followers. I was soooooo skeptical about blogging -- I'm enjoying it more than I anticipated. Thanks for the inspiration. {I'm so in need of a blog make-over though -- help me}!!!

Happy Blog-Birthday... great giveaway! I ♥ your blog! My favorite thing about blog-hopping is the fresh, endless inspiration at the click of the mouse. Blogging helps me stay connected with far-away friends, and is another great day to day creative outlet. Thank you!!!! xoxo Adrienne

The thing I love about blogs is how inspirational they are. whether you are reading about someones life or seeing something creatively inspiring. It is a way to connect.

Heather Leigh said...

Happy Blogiversary!

I love blogs for inspiration! And inspiration abounds at just us! For example, when I saw the 2 on your cupcake it inspired me to make a similar 5 on my son's fifth birthday cake tomorrow. Usually we buy a fancy bakery cake or something fun from Coldstone, but this year we're making our own cake (recession reasons). And I am certainly no cake decorator!! But I am pretty sharp with paper, scissors, punches, and adhesive!! His cake will be the cutest one yet!!

Thanks for the inspiration!

I love being able to share our daily stories with our family and friends who don't get to peek into our life everyday. I love the ability to connect with other people and communicate when otherwise you might not be able too. I quit my blog for a little while but I have been trying to redesign it so that we can share stories of with our newest little addition.

Melanie said...

Happy Birthday! Congratulations!

Noeleen said...

well...blogs help me remember the joy the pain...and everything inbetween. then blogs let you share all your sides with the world and vise versa. i tried to simplify what i like about blogs. one more thing. when i feel all alone...with my best friend 2000 miles away...i just click on my favorites and there's her blog...it always make me smile!

Catherine said...

I started my blog around 2 months ago and I love having a place to capture all the little stuff that my kids are doing. These moments would be so quickly forgotten without my almost daily blogging.

The Domino Girls said...

Just fun! I would rather go from one blog to the next than watch TV! I think I can spend more time blogging than I used to watch TV, not sure if that is good??? "Just Us" is definitely a regular for creative inspiration and new tunes! :)

Lauren Ashly said...

Happy Blogiversary! I look forward to seeing even more of your creations and journaling. My absolute favorite thing about blogs, is sharing ideas/inspiration to create! When I open a blog, it's the same feeling as opening a package in the mail (I LOVE mail)! So exciting :)

Happy Anniversary!

I just love my blog its like the perfect place to showcase all the things I love and the most wonderful way to express myself.

I am a born talker so the blog gives me a space of my own to express myself and talk alllllll I want (my husband would like to make an interjection here that he also loves the blog so I am not always talking his ear off!!).

Blogging has been the perfect place to showcase, my family, my scrapbooking projects, my thoughts, my love of photography and for friends and family to keep up on the things we are up to!

Its a wonderful diary of our lives.

Charisse said...

YEAH! HAppy Birfday!
I love how blogs keep everyone connected... whether its a family blog, a crafting blog, a photography blog (I love that one you and your hubby have as well :) ) or whatever... anyone can feel like part of a community or tight knit group of friends.
Oh and I like that I can find ideas and learn fabulous new things while wearing sweats, a t-shirt, and no bra! :)

Nield Moments said...

2 years that is awesome!

Rosander said...

K I love Erin! She is awesome and her stuff is so cute! My name is Lindsay Rosander and The reason I love blogging is for 3 main reasons!
1) I love the journal. I would never write down the funny things my kids say or the every day little things that happen.
2) I love that I can stay in touch with my friends and build friendships with others I have not known or would not have known as well.
3) It's kind of a creative outlet for me. I love to scrapbook, but this kind of gives me that with out all of the mess.

Jennifer said...

Happy Blog Birthday!! I read blogs for inspiration and to stay in touch with friends and family!!
