Let's Get This Party Started!

Have you noticed the cute little countdown button
featured on the top of my right sidebar??
The one that says:
Blogoversary in: __ days!

Today it reads 3 days!
That means my blog turns 1 on Thursday!!
That means this whole week is my blogiversary week!!!


Yeeeeeeeeeeeeess!
And... I'm choosing to celebrate with you!
Get ready for a lot of exclamation points!
You, you, you!


Let's Get This Party Started!




This week will be all about why I love blogging! It will be all about what knocks my socks off, what brings tears to my eyes, what I find honest and genuine.

This week: This Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will also be all about my favorite bloggers! I will be sharing with you some of my favorite bloggers/bl*isters. And my favorite bloggers are each giving away something to one of you! And you, will get a thousand (give or take) chances to win some fabulous, incredible and amazing goodies!

Then, on Saturday I'll just keep this party rolling and feature some more bloggers and artists - all that love Fahrenheit 350°, baking at that temperature that is, and together we'll will be giving away some more tasty treats!

And finally, phew!, deadline to get all your entries in, for every giveaway, will be Tuesday, November 17. Then everything will be bundled up and mailed off to the winner (selected by random.org)! That's right ONE very sweet winner will win everything featured this week! That could be you! You, could win everything!

Extra Large Fine Print:
  • As always, followers automatically get 5 entries! (but! you have to leave a comment on the giveaway for validation)
  • Commenting is required, but will also earn you one entry per giveaway (look for instructions on each individual giveaway)

What's behind Door #Monday?

Are you surprised I'm featuring my sister Pammy? You shouldn't be! I talk about how much I love her blog all the time.

Pammy's blog is fun, creative, and artsy. She blogs about everything she loves, but she primarily features three things:
Quilts - Pammy is an amazing quilter. When I was married Pammy sought out fabric that represented me, and fabric that represented Gabriel and she intertwined everything majestically! She even embroidered our names, and our wedding date in the center patch! For Christmas last year she quilted a Family Tree Quilt for our parents. She found things that represented each of us, our families, and our aspirations. It was heartwarming. Pammy makes a quilt for her children for each holiday, and she always includes something personal in each quilt!



Field Trip Fridays - Pammy and her family are always exploring! Every week they find a new exciting museum, water park, hike or some other adventure, and she always comes back and shares details, pictures, and directions!
Midweek Munchies - This portion is my favorite of Pammy's blog! She features delicious treats (or restaurants) she has enjoyed throughout the week, and always shares the recipe with photo tutorial!
Pammy also hosts an a.a.amazing holiday boutique twice a year (Winter & Spring), Tom and Lucy's Art Shoppe. If you live in Utah - you do not want to miss it!
Pammy is donating her famous homemade toffee, guaranteed to satisfy! This toffee is made with real butter, real chocolate and real walnuts! Oh? You want the recipe!? Pammy is donating the recipe too: Toffee 101!


For this giveaway, head over to Pammy's blog! Visit the Midweek Munchies section, and pick your favorite Midweek Munchie! While you are there become a shortcake/follower for another entry to this week of wicked fun! Then... come back here and leave a comment letting me know which is your favorite munchie! And remember - get lots of extra entries by reading and following the extra large fine print above!

**Giveaway closed! Winner announced soon!**
