5 year blogiversary


Next week I will be celebrating my five year blogiversary! Five years!
When I first started this blogging journey five years ago I had no idea what it would mean, and how things would evolve over time. Back then I primarily used my blog as a means to sell my custom products, but I am so glad that I expanded my little corner of the internet over time; because, as strange as it may sound, I have loved sharing things with you! I have learned so much about blogging, photography, and social media since I first started, and I know I still have a lot to learn. It's really satisfying seeing the improvements I've made over time though, and I look forward to more changes and improvements in the coming year!

If you've been a reader for awhile then you probably know that every year in November I do a small giveaway to help celebrate another year of blogging. This year is no exception, but I wanted to do something a little different than I normally do.
Every day next week (November 2 - 6) on my Instagram account I will be giving away a $5 egift card to one of my favorite places. All you'll have to do is be the first person to answer the question for that day correctly and you'll be the winner! You don't even technically have to be following me, although it will be easier to see the posts if you are. ;)

Nitty gritty details:

  • You must be the first person to answer the question of the day correctly. The most detailed answer will win. Questions may be posted at anytime of the day and will be about myself or something blog related, something that if you follow me or read my blog you would know or be able to find out.
  • You can not win more than once. If you've already won, then please don't answer the question and ruin it for someone else. 
  • egift cards will be emailed to you with one week. Since they are emailed, this giveaway is open everywhere, BUT please don't answer to win if the store for the day is not one you'll be able to shop at.
  • Family members are excluded from winning. Sorry y'all.
  • This giveaway is in no way sponsored or endorsed by Instagram. Just me, myself, and I, sharing things I love with my readers and followers!
