It’s My 800th Post! It’s Giveaway Time!

This giveaway is now closed.


I can’t believe I’ve actually written 800 posts on this blog. That’s crazy. And there are a few of you who have read quite a few of those 800 posts and you’ve stuck around.
Thank You!
So what does one do when one has written 800 posts?  They have a giveaway celebrating  their blog and you, the faithful readers, my friends.
What does one give away? Well I decided to give away a few of my favorite things!
If you’ve been to my blog more than a few times you probably already know what most of those things are, but in case you don’t here’s a picture of what I’m giving away.

I love so many things but here a just a few that I could fit in a box.
IMG_00181. Snickers (My FAVORITE candy bar)
IMG_00222. Christmas (I’m giving away my homemade felt star to hang on your tree at Christmas time.)
