2 years

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!'

Now to celebrate I'm going to eat this yummy cupcake don't be jealous because you get something even better! My friend Erin from Designer Blogs is giving away 3 blog makeovers. 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.


Supplies: red dot paper; scalloped circle punch; number '2' sticker

Wow, Happy Birthday! What I love about blogs is that they are completely free and I get the same, if not more, inspiration from them than a scrapping magazine. :)

I love blogs because it's like entering a whole new world of COOL!!! I love how people are so creative and each blog is unique, which makes me jealous 'cause my blog is so blah. I just started a blog http://honeypunchesnpumpkinstamps.blogspot.com and have no idea what I am doing. Maybe I'll get a burst of inspiration. Oh and Love your blog as well.

Cheers,

Michele said...

My blog is where i can learn to be me again. After a rough couple of years- it is my outlet and creativity place. It also is so valuable to me to reflect on the progress I have made. I would love a blog makeover to truly reflect where I am in my life.

Corina said...

What I love about blogs....my blog is to let my friends and family know what is going on in our lives. Not just our happy thoughts BUT our sad thoughts too. Right now our little town is praying for one of our doctors. He found out last week he has Cancer...and only 6 weeks to live. PLEASE say a prayer to help him and his family make it thru this time.

Gracie Ann Tan said...

Happy blogserry! My blog surely would love a make over. I love blogs coz we get to share so much things and "meet" other people through blog hopping. I also love to visit other people's blogs where I often get so much inspiration.

Brandy said...

What I love best about blogs is it's a way to keep a journal of my family. It's so easy to "type" some thoughts or daily happenings and upload a few pictures. I'm such a visual person, so having a visual journal is awesome. I also love that my family/friends can see what we're up to with just a click of a button. AMAZING!

Happy Blog Birthday to you!

Sabrina Rauch said...

Happy Blog Birthday! Eat an extra cupcake for me as I can't be there to celebrate with you okay?

What I love about blogs is the ability to keep people in touch and share life even when you are living far away from each other. My family lives scattered all over the US and the blogs we keep help us all stay connected in the silliness, the fun, the hard, the craziness and the hardships we all face in life. For my scrapbooking addiction, blogs also offer a wealth on inspiration!

My fave thing about blogs is the exchange of ideas and the way it speedily deciminates (?) the info out to the masses!

Me AND my blog could use a good makeover. We're quite a bit drab these days. Boy are the winters rough here in Utah! Sad, but true, I think I'd rather have my blog made over :) Here's hopin' & crossin' my fingers it could be.

Happy 2nd Birthday.

I just had my 1st year blog party earlier this month. I love having a blog to keep in touch with my family both near & far. The BEST part...my journaling on posts has actually triggered my mom's memory for her to share things with me & I share them with my sisters. My mom had written off memories since she has memory loss due to an accident & MS. So awesome to hear stories of her youth & to have a small part in getting her to recall things. :D Jeannette P

Terri Paulson-Sasaki said...

Happy Birthday. I love reading other people's blogs for inspiration and they give me a jumpstart on mine. In fact, I spend so much time looking at others that I don't have time for mine.

Wendy H said...

Happy Blog Birthday! I checked out your friends site and would love her to help me with a blog...something I really have been needing/wanting to do for a while but,well, it seems a little overwhelming, you know?
I love checking out the blogs I read to see what's happening in my friends lives and to learn new things and "meet" new people that I can learn new things from!!! :)
I love the music on your blog...gonna have to do a little itunes research on these awesome sounding women that I've never heard of...learn something new every time.

Michelle Vandepol said...

My favorite thing about blogs are that they are a visual treat, often inspiring, and keep me from blowing all my money on magazines. I like looking back at my past entries on mine too -- it's like a diary of my writing life.

yours tops my faves -- always interesting and sweet and positive :)

Lisa said...

My favorite thing about blogging is that as an Army girl it keeps me in touch with my family! I am not good about keeping mine up like you are, but I love knowing that I can reach out and share with people even when I am not home!

Now I really am a big dummy! I entered and then I entered again on your just dandy post - honestly, I need to slow down and read the directions! Ha!

Amy @ Positively Splendid said...

Is the giveaway still up for grabs? Regardless, I'll share that I love how blogging helps make distance a nonissue. Down the street or across the county, I can share the things I love with others, and that is really cool. :)

Claudia said...

Happy Blirthday!!! I just started mine this February. My family is all overseas and it's a fab way to stay in touch with them. A new/ great style would be awesome. I love the simplicity in your design.

ok, so I'm a little late, but I wanted to say happy birthday! I just love your blog and usually check it out everyday (ok, so obviously not the last week, but hey! I went to CKC - Houston, I've been busy! :) )
Anyway, I love you and your blog, and your precious family!!! Looking forward to many more years! :)

Groovy Deborah said...
