A LITTLE CELEBRATION - AND A LITTLE SURPRISE !

Good morning Everyone

I hope you are all well.

A card to share that I made "for my blog" .. .. .. it was one year old yesterday !!!

I can remember my first post as clearly as if it was yesterday and recall how I sat and messed about with it for ages. Now that is scary!!! Where has the year gone?

Well I know it has been a fun year and one I have really enjoyed.

I have met so many wonderful people and made so many lovely friends - some that I have met in person and some who are special "cyber friends".

I have also learnt so much and would like to say "thank you" to everyone who has helped me along the way.

So here is my blog's birthday card:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG .. .. .. .. HERE'S TO THE NEXT 12 MONTHS !!!!!!

This used:

Image: Penny Black 4065K "Bountiful"
Backing Papers: My Minds Eye
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Promarkers
Star Dust Stickles
Now I wanted to celebrate my blog being one year old with my lovely visitors and so I decided to have a little secret prize on offer.

I can't be doing with advertising a blogaversary and suddenly gaining lots of false followers - I much prefer to just say thank you to the people who visit my blog because they want to - rather than to just win a prize.

So I decided that everyone who was kind enough to comment on Helen's lovely weekend makes on Sunday, and on my blog's birthday, would be put into random org to win the following little prize.



So you were all swirled around together this morning and below is the result.

Here is your sequence: 1 (The winner is Jacee - congratulations)

10

So if you would like to email me Jacee with your address I will post your prize on to you (jules@halfwayhouse.force9.co.uk)

Helen has really enjoyed looking at all of your comments and is so impressed with it all that she is looking into starting her own blog now. Thank you for making her weekend that extra bit special.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Love Jules xx

    What a lovely post Jules! You confirmed my feelings exactly about followers. I have even been known to avoid leaving comments on blogs I visit regularly while they are offering 'candy' which I suppose could be looked on as cutting my nose off to spite my face, Lol!

    Anyway, congratulations on your 1st Birthday. I think I've been visiting you from the very first post and every visit is a joy. Your cards are beautiful and your posts are always interesting. Here's to many more Happy Birthdays!

    Congratulations also to Jaycee. Enjoy your lovely stamp.

    Lots of love and hugs
    Lesley Xx

    Happy Bloggaversary, Jules! Your card is stunning, as always. I must by one of these cute hedgehogs. So did you use warm grey, ice grey or cool grey? I'm still working my way through the ones I bought off Brenda!
