Hello my darlings!  Sorry I haven't been around all that much lately, this baby is just sucking the life right out of me.  All I do is work and sleep! LOL  It will all be worth it, though. 

Anyway, big news...today (Oct. 23) is my 30th birthday!  Gosh, it seems so crazy.  I can't believe I'm already 30.  Can anyone tell me when I'll start to feel like an adult?  =D  Besides that, during the past few months I've actually reached and surpassed 200 followers!  To me, that is just insane.  I love it, and I love you all for your sweet comments and thoughts and basically just thinking that what I create and write is worth sharing.  It really does make me feel so special when I read your sweet words, and it encourages me to keep creating.

So, to celebrate all of this fun (as well as my 2ND BLOGAVERSARY on November 7th...has it really been that long?!?) I have decided to give away some blog candy!  Now, since I'm writing this at work (shh! don't tell!!) I don't exactly know what is going to be part of the candy yet...but I can tell you it will be fabulous!  I'll put a picture of it up as soon as I gather everything.

So, what do you need to do to win?  Easy peasy!  

1. Be a follower of my blog.

2. Leave a comment on this post.

That's it!  I'll keep this open until 11/15/12 at midnight Central time, and this post will stay at the top until the deadline.  Good luck, and thank you for all that you do!  You are appreciated!
