One Year Anniversary Give-Back!



I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day!
...I had a cozy, comfy day at home with my longtime Valentine!

Tomorrow is a really big day for me!
First of all, it is the first anniversary of 52 Flea!




It was just one year ago that I was invited to Evi's home for a Valentine luncheon.
My girlfriends and I sat around Evi's dining room table....talking so fast, all at once...
... we were so excited to be together!
It was then and there that these girls... Evi, Paula, Debbie and Carole, of Maynard Greenhouse convinced me to go ahead...give it a try...create a blog of my own.

I returned home and on February 15th, 2009, 52 Flea was born...
... and I published my very first post!

...352 posts in 365 days!

I know, that's crazy!

What can I say?
...I like it!

Anyway, I have never looked back...
I have met so many amazing people and even traveled far away to meet a few in person!
I guess it would be an understatement to say that I really enjoy blogging!

So.....guess where I am going tomorrow for lunch?

Yes, I am off to Evi's beautiful home again...to meet up with the girls for another spectacular and delicious Valentine luncheon! Evi spoils us so!
Besides all the fun....
...I wonder what will happen this time?

Now to the business at hand...
...a huge Thank You on 52 Flea's First Anniversary...

...this is my chance to Give-Back to all my friends here in bloglandia. Thank you for encouraging me, for making me smile and sometimes laugh out loud... for lifting my spirits when they needed lifting... for all your kind words and comments.....for showing me how to be a better friend...
... and for assuring me that I am not alone...I now know that there are many kindred spirits out there.
You are truly a gracious, good spirited, generous and fun loving community and I am very grateful to be a part of it!
Thank you to all who follow along, to those who stop by occasionally, to those who leave comments... and to those who don't!



To begin with...the winner of 52 Flea's One Year Blogversary Give-Back ...
...will receive a copy of the new spring edition of ...
Jeanne D'Arc Living Magazine
!


Wait....there's more!



Have you heard of Lisa Leonard Designs? Do you read Lisa's wonderful blog? Lisa was featured in the spring edition of Artful Blogging...on page 52 to be exact! She was also a speaker at BlissDom'10...an annual convention of women bloggers that I am just learning about...It was held in Nashville a few weeks ago.



I am in love with Lisa's sterling silver jewelry creations and have ordered the Captured Heart necklace with my Dan and Kate's names hand stamped on it. I love her classic simple lines. Her designs are perfect as gifts for just about anyone...(mothers....look at her heart strings piece)! Lisa has necklaces and bracelets with inspirational words, charming designs and so much more! Check out her online store here ...



Because I adore her jewelry so much...the winner of this 52 Flea Blogversary Give Back will receive a $50 gift certificate toward the purchase of a piece of handmade sterling silver jewelry by this talented artist and soulful blogger.
I am truly charmed by Lisa and her line of beautiful jewelry!




And finally the winner will receive a copy of the winter edition of
Somerset Life!
Why, you ask?
Because you probably haven't been able to find a copy due to my husband purchasing all available in the county!




To enter this Give-Back all you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me you would like a chance.
If you can't figure out how to leave a comment...send me an email!

This Give Back is open to everyone who stops by to say hello and enter....it does not matter where in the world you are!

You do not have to be a follower...
You do not have to stand on your head or do twelve jumping jacks.

Just tell me that you are interested for a chance to win!

If you would like to post about my Give-Back or put it on your sidebar or both..
...it would be appreciated...spread the blog love...

If you choose to do so, leave a second comment and let me know...
...I will enter your name for a second chance.



And that's it!

Entries will be accepted up until...
... Monday, February 22nd at 6 p.m. EST

Thank you and Good luck!

I will be sure to let you know all about our Valentine luncheon!
I am so excited!
I hope I can sleep! :)

Congratulations on your One Year Blogging Anniversary, Laura! I've always admired your dedication to blogging - a daily treat I can always count on! Please sign me up for your Give-back (who wouldn't want to win?!!). p.s. have a wonderful V-Day luncheon chez Evi!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Dear Laura,
First of all, how on earth have you managed to do 352 posts on 365 days? That is unbelievable and, if there were international blogging awards, you should have a Special Golden one for outstanding achievement !!!! You have gone over and above the call of duty.... and to think that it has only been one year. Amazing.
Next, what a wonderful and generous giveaway. The Lisa Leonard jewellery is so delicate, romantic and personal. How wonderful to have one with your children's names on. I'm going right over to her blog as it is SO me..... and the new Jeanne d'Arc magazine. I have only just received the last one and now there is a new one. What with the gorgeous jewellery and the magazine, I think that my credit card will be smoking !!.... and then, to crown it all, a copy of Somerset Life. We don't have that magazine in the U.K.so a glimpse of your article would be a treat.
Have a wonderful lunch with all of your girlfriends...there's nothing nicer than lunch with the girls. I wonder what plans will be made at this one ?
I shall put your giveaway on my sidebar, Laura.
Have a great time at Evi's and say hello to Carole from me....and the others, even though I don't know them !!!! haha
Have fun. XXXX

Carol Mae said...

I just wanted to let you know that I posted about you giveaway on my blog. Have a great Monday. Smiles, Carol Mae

Lori said...

Happy Anniversary Laura!! What an accomplishment for you. I do love stopping by and try to leave comments when I can. Please put my name in for the draw and wish me luck ~ I am loving Lisa's beautiful creations.

Sherrie said...

Happy Anniversary! I myself started in October at the urging of a friend, when we ran into each other at Goodwill, hence the name of my blog, A Conversation at Goodwill. I'm still getting used to all the technical stuff, I keep tweaking, and am having fun. Even when an earlier post didn't get a comment, I still had fun doing the writing, just putting myself out there. You are right about the wonderful people out there in blogland, it makes for a rewarding experience. I love your photos, so artistic, and your little vignettes. I would be honored to have you sign me up for your fabulous giveaway.

Please enter me in your giveaway. It's so nice seeing you upbeat since I know you've been through a trying time with work. I'm sitting here commenting because I'm in a neck brace! Yep, cervical spine surgery last Monday to remove two torn discs. Now screws, plates, and bone later, I'm in a brace for at least three weeks! But, I'm getting well rested.

Oh, and there's at least one more issue of the mag out there. I accidentally purchased TWO in an effort to make sure I got your article. Hubby returned the overpurchase for me LOL.

I started a blog just a year ago too with my daughters, one who lives in New York and it brings us closer together. 52 Flea is one of my recommended blogs. i would love to receive the Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine, it looks fabulous and we cannot get it in England.
Happy 1st anniversary.
