Bloggy Anniversay, 200th Post & A Giveaway!!

In all honesty

this surprises the crap out of me


I never thought a year ago
that I would be sitting here
celebrating 200 posts
let alone almost a year in this fabulous
world of blogging.

I scratched my head
and the whiskers on my chin
*grin*

what can I do to celebrate
my little milestone?

should I blow up some balloons??

light the sparklers?

break out the bubbly?

found

bake some cupcakes?

I decided that
I would share some of my favorite things

You know I spend hours
looking for pictures of pretty things

trying to take pictures of pretty things
laying on my belly in a field
trying to get that
right shot

I want to sit at this table
with some of the wonderful women I have met here
in the past year...

and have these hanging from the branches
of a nearby tree

have bouquets of fabulous flowers
adorning the table

drinking wine

and eating cupcakes

roses are a must

along with peonies


This is my favorite saying

and lilac season is right around the corner
here in my little world

they are a favorite for sure

loving this shot!

and still on my tulip kick for sure!

I want to spread the love that I feel
every time I log on
and read a comment about my ramblings

I truly appreciate all who visit
as I know all too well
it takes time to read and comment
with the busy lives we lead

So
Thank You
for a wonderful year
full of smiles and tears
