Let's Try Again - Bloggy Giveaway & an Update

What with the unexpected medical issues regarding my husband, my blogoversary giveaway got kind of pushed to the back burner. So I thought, let's try again.

To enter, follow the same rules as in the original post. Post your comments for the giveaway on that post, so that those who already entered will remain entered. Canadian and American only, please.

I will do the draw next Tuesday. So that gives you one week to enter. Good luck everyone!

And now for the update:

As you may recall, my husband was released from the hospital. Not two days later, we ended up back in the emergency room because he kept falling down. He had no strength in his legs whatsoever. One of the falls was partway down the stairs. He was in alot of pain all day long and had no pain killers. Finally, after the last fall we decided to head to the hospital. We were there from 10 pm - 5 am. When he finally saw the doctor, they prescribed him some T3's and gave him the option of staying or going home. They explained to him that being at home would be more beneficial in the long run, and so we came home. He is doing better pain-wise, but still has alot of weakness.

As I write this, it is Sunday evening. Tomorrow, he starts his radiation and on Tuesday, he will start his physiotherapy. Hopefully, he will be on the road to recovery... but the road is long and bumpy. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I thank you all for your support. It means a lot.

Blogoversary Giveaway

Whew! I'm late for my own blogoversary!

I almost forgot I had a meeting. And I'm the one who planned it! But now that's over, so here I am!

I have decided to celebrate my blogoversary by hosting a little giveaway!

Here's what you could win:



It's not much, but the bookmark I mentioned in this post, and a little journal I altered to match.

I haven't laminated the bookmark yet, so this is the unfinished product in the photo. The person who wins this will have to give me constructive criticism and let me know what they really think of my crafts. Be honest, let me know if it falls apart within 2 days or anything like that! It's my first journal!

To win: Post a comment here.... introduce me to a favorite blog of yours.... that's NOT on my blog roll. I will randomly pick a winner on Monday. Canadian and American addresses only, please.

Note: Your comment won't count if it doesn't follow the giveaway rules! Aw!

Good luck!

And Thank you!

Thank you for being a very important part of my blog. I thrive to continuously better my blog for my readers, and for myself too. I hope I will continue to be a part of this wonderful bloggyville community that I've come to know and love!

***Contest Now Closed.... Winners to be announced soon! ***

It's My Blogoversary!

Today is my 1st Blogoversary! Come back tonight for a celebration! :)

Bloggy Update

My 1st Blogoversary will be in just a couple weeks. (keep your eyes open....I'm hoping to come up with a fun way to celebrate!)


I started this blog as a way to focus on some of the better aspects of my life. I don't know if I completely succeeded in this but I believe that I have started my way. It has given me an outlet for discussing a wide variety of topics. I have been challenged to push myself to get organized or be more creative and to actually do some of the things that I have on my "to do" lists, both the fun and the necessary.

I thought I would ask you, my readers, to please comment and let me know what you like about my blog. What can I do to improve my blogspace? Are there topics that I speak too much about, or topics in which you wish I would touch base on more often?

What draws you to my blog? What brings you back to peek into my corner of the world?

In reading up on how to have a successful blog, I feel that I need to make some changes. I am in the process of trying to figure out the best way to do this. Some fellow bloggers write only during the week. Others have a specific topic designated for each day of the week. Still others just randomly speak about whatever is on their mind that day. I have a feeling that I'm one of those people who needs strict organization for their blog in order to make it a little more successful, or more satisfying to both myself and my readers.

And so, I welcome your comments.... let's hear what you have to say!
