Welcome to the Party!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
This post is just one of many giveaways posts to come, today 06/27/08 as part of Summer’s Bloggy Birthday Bash
I am so happy you’ve made it over to my big one year blogoversary bash! I started this blog exactly one year ago today on a whim and I’m so glad I did. Some of you may know me personally, some of you may be friends of a friend, but all of you are welcome and encouraged to participate in the games and giveaways happening today. First off, you can’t have a party with out some introductions, so let me introduce myself and then I want to get to know you!
My name is Summer, I’m 26 and I’m a stay at home mom to two boys and one girl. I love learning new things, so I have a multitude of hobbies and plan to pick up more. I crochet, play the piano, am an avid reader and writer, love to bake, cake decorate, scrapbook and design blogs. That’s not all but I’m aiming for briefness. Here are some highlights from the last year:
TOP 5 POSTS FROM MY FIRST YEAR
* Edward and Bella: True Love or True Lust?
* Drive Thru Pee Peril
* Mommy Brain
* The Not So Nice Mama
* Breast is Best
FAVORITE SEARCHES THAT LED PEOPLE TO MY BLOG
* can you poop out a quarter? Why yes, yes you can.
* if bella does not become a vamp i will scream! - So will probably 2 million other tween girls. I don’t think the series is going to end well. Meaning in the way I want it to.
* locked out, have to pee - Can you just imagine this person searching google on their cell phone, wondering if it’s ok to go behind a bush or something? Yes, it’s ok!
* my kid swallowed a nail - And I thought the quarter was bad!
* why would a child put screws in his mouth? - I don’t think this person has kids. The question parents know to ask themselves is, Why wouldn’t he?
Alright, now it’s your turn. Let’s play a get to know you game. I’m going to pose a question:
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
The first person to comment answers the question above and then poses a question for the next commenter to answer. Be sure to mention where you’re from. One of you will win a great door prize, a $10 Ebay Gift Certificate (something anyone, U.S. or international, male or female) can use. So comment away!
:heart:
