Hello, friends!
It will be two years on the 27th of this month that I clicked the "publish" button for the first time.
I remember being scared to death but in my heart I knew this was going to be fun, lots, lots of fun!
And I was right! :)
It took a couple of days for anybody to notice my blog, but there is no feeling in the world like seeing your first comment in you inbox, specially since it was from Melissa Miller from Melissa's Heart and Home.
She was one of my favorite bloggers of all time and she became my guardian angel and although she was somebody I had never met, she took the time to email me and guide me on how to meet other bloggers and gave me help and advice on some technical settings about my blog.
Thank you, Melissa!
In the process, I have met such wonderful people, bloggers and non bloggers, and I have made so many friends.
Today, this post is for all of you that have always taken the time to stop by every week, leave such wonderful comments and have given me the support needed to continue this blogging adventure.
And my way to say thank you is to have my first giveaway.
Nothing special, but made by me from the heart!
I received so many emails about my Fall wreath, I decided to make an extra one very similar to mine for this giveaway.
Also, I made a small matching burlap runner (43x16) and three extra burlap flowers that you can use to decorate a vase or maybe some candle holders.
This giveaway will run from today until September 26th and to enter all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post. You can also get a second entry by liking my Facebook page. This giveaway is limited to US Residents only.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
The winner will be chosen using Rafflecopter on Sunday, September 29th (first time using this program, please bear with me) and I will email you personally to notify you of your win.
Good luck, everyone!
Good luck, everyone!
Congrats on the anniversary. Love the wreath.

Maria Elena, even without the lovely wreath I would be happy to comment today! Congratulations on your two year anniversary! I'm a new(ish) blogger and you have always been so kind to me, sending emails, checking out my posts and featuring me a few times...that is a huge incentive to continue blogging when you are so new at it. You have definitely paid Melissa's kindness forward and to many other bloggers, I am sure! :) Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary. You are having a very generous giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Maria Elena! You know I too recently had my 3rd year anniversary and forgot! hahaha! Thanks for the giveaway too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on two years of blogging. Your fall wreath is lovely. Sorry I haven't been around to visit lately. Summer was very busy and I took a blog break in August. Am trying to catch up with everyone.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversay~! you've come a long way Baby and I'm proud of you..

I've never commented before, but I check it out every time you have a new post. Happy Anniversary and many more years of blogging. Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love those burlap flowers. I so aspire to be creative with burlap, but I'm totally not there yet. All I managed to do was wrap my wreath in burlap (which requires like zero skill - SCORE!). I've been blogging since '08, but primarily just for myself and my superduper short-term memory. It's been about two weeks since I've actually been "on the market," the internet sure is a cool place to connect with so many cool people! Anyway, I was going to see if I could get your "seal of approval" on my burlap wreath since I love your style. http://strassnerfamily.blogspot.com/2013/09/fall-wreath-and-in-your-face-9-years.html Have a lovely Friday!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items for your giveaway! And congratulations on your 2nd Blogaversary!! xo

Congratulations, Maria Elena! I think we are all very lucky for your having decided to press "Publish!" I was fortunate to have met you just prior to our trip to Spain, and you were so sweet to give me some helpful tips for that wonderful trip. This is a wonderful give-away!
