One year ago today and a giveaway






















One year ago today I sat at my desk at work, I bet it was during my break, *chuckle* and wrote my first blog entry. Today I am writing my two hundred fiftieth post. 

When I started this blog I had no idea what direction it would take, and today I still have no idea. I write about my thrift adventures, my family and friends, my journeys, and things that interest me. 

I am amazed and thankful that I have followers and that I have made some blog friendships. For this, I am extremely humble.

While in Hawaii, I happened upon a market and I found a necklace, and thought it would make a good giveaway.



This necklace was handmade in Hawaii from glass found along one of the beaches on the Big Island in Hawaii and hangs from an 18 inch snake chain.

The rules are simple:
  • Leave a comment and make sure I have your email address in case you are the winner.
  • Anyone can enter, followers and non followers, but again make sure I have your email address in case you are the winner.
  • I will ship anywhere in the world.
The winner will be chosen on June 1, 2012. Tell your friends to stop by and enter.

  3. Congratulations on your one year anniversary, and also on your two hundred and fiftieth post, that's some going. What a gorgeous necklace, I love sea glass and have little jars of it dotted about the house. Whenever we go to the seaside we do a bit of beachcombing to see if we can find any more to add to the collection. I have put a link to your giveaway in my sidebar.
