Gratitude and a Favor

One of the greatest benefits from starting this blog is the camaraderie between fellow blogging friends.  I love all the encouragement and support everyone lends.  I feel blessed to be a member of this community.  This past week I have felt lots of love from my fellow bloggy friends!  I had the honor of being nominated by three wonderful ladies for the Liebster Award.  My first nomination came from Sandy over at Kinder-Gardening.  Then, I received two other emails for the nomination.  One was from Bec at Books, Bugs, and Boxes telling me she had nominated me.  The other was from Traci over at The Bender Bunch.  I can't thank these three friends enough.  Check out their blogs for they are wonderful.  I also received an email from Fern Smith telling me one of my previous Freebie Friday posts was being featured.  Check it out!  It made me so happy when I saw this.

Crazy {But, in a GOOD way!}  Thank you Fern for featuring me.  If you haven't participated or just gone to see all the amazing freebies offered every Friday, you should!
Now, comes the favor part of my post.  I reached a major milestone this week with my blog.  I have 100+ followers now!  Yippee :)  100 followers has been a goal of mine sinceI began this blog so it is a great feeling to have obtained this milestone!  I plan on putting together a freebie packet for a give-away drawing.  If you have an item you would like to donate to the packet, I would be forever grateful.  If you have any words of advice on how to conduct a give-away I would also be forever grateful.  (I am learning as I go with all this blogging technology) Please leave your info in the comment section below OR feel free to email me at ragan808@gmail.com.  THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for reading!  Have a great day.  :)
