I was trying to think of something personal to give away for this year’s blogiversary (am I even spelling that right? not sure) like a family photo shoot, but when I realized that many of my readers are far away from our Nation’s Capital that just wouldn’t be fair.  I mean it would be if I could afford to fly to where ever you live, but I am a SAHM so I cannot afford the airfare at this point. Instead, I opted for four of my favourite things.

This little package contains four of my favourite things, five if you include the pen.

You Deserve This by Cake Beauty.  I received this as a gift from my eldest Sister last year for my birthday and my hands and feet have thanked her ever since.

An Ecojot notebook.  The same one I carry around with me all the time.  Who am I kidding?  I have about five of these throughout the house, all for different things.  One in my purse (small one) for notes, one in the diaper bag, one on my nightstand to write the library books I get in it, one in the gym to keep track of my workouts, one for photography to write notes about a shoot, and one for writing when I am in the mood for working on my novel.

Sephora by OPI nail polish in Casting Call.  I love OPI nail polish and this one is a nice shade of mauve, perfect for summer toes.

A set of four note cards that I made myself and carry in my Etsy Shop.

And an added bonus of a pen.  I had to include it because it matched both the notebook and the cards and I love the fine tip when I write.

And I just realized that three of the four items are made in Canada, so I am thankful to be giving away some wonderful Canadian goodies to one of my wonderful readers.  Because truly, you are all fabulous.  I know I started this blog to give something back for all the blogs I was reading, but I never really thought that four years later I would still be blogging and actually loving it.  I know that once in a while my posts are a little less frequent, but that is only because I am just simply hanging around the house and there is only so much to say when you don’t leave your backyard.  I have met some truly wonderful women (and a couple of men) in my blogging adventures and hope that it will continue for many years to come.

So without further ado, I will ask you to leave a comment and tell me why you blog or don’t blog?

A winner will be randomly chosen on Tuesday morning, the last day of June.

*This giveaway has been furnished completely by me.  I have tried and tested all of the products and they are truly things that I love.
