A Year Of Blogging & A Giveaway

Today is my blog anniversary. Well technically it's not, it was yesterday, but I broke the netbook charger and so couldn't blog, grrr. I also have 200 followers (205 to be exact) and have written 200 posts (well, 199, but I couldn't think of anything to write about to squeeze in before this). I think that spells GIVEAWAY TIME. But before that, a nice round up of a year of outfits. I've had fun looking back at all my posts and approving/cringing at what I was wearing. Remember when I swore that I would never EVER look ok in shorts? Roll on a few months and I've got them on all the time!

Discovered a nasty little anonymous comment under this telling me I looked even more fat and stumpy than normal. Pfft to you anonymous coward. Nothing wrong with being short and fat.

So that's a year's worth of my favourite outfit photos. I really must wear the stripy shirt/maxi skirt combo more often - I'd entirely forgotten about it. And I must stop looking at the floor! I didn't realise I was so bad for it but practically every picture has my eyes glued downwards.

Anyway, if you're still awake after all that - GIVEAWAY!!!

First anniversary being paper themed, prize number one is a shiny Amazon gift card with £15 on it, or equivalent value if you're non-UK based. Sadly I couldn't stretch to the whole set of beautiful copies in the above picture.

Obviously I can't specify what you spend it on but books would be nice! If you don't already have a wish list as long as mine and want some suggestions as to what to spend it on, I'm happy to help. I read an awful lot so I'm hopeful I can suggest something good.

Must stop buying prizes that I want to keep myself! The next prize is a Liberty print shopper bag, specially designed for Comic Relief. Subtle print isn't it? I was expecting some obvious red noses but they just look like cherries. Oh and a v. pretty floral snood type thing.

Vintage bag, silk scarf and some costume jewellery.

Benefit lip shine, some funky nail files, a nice vampy nail varnish and a couple of Lush goodies (Dragon's Egg bath ballistic and Ma Bar bubble bar)

So that's four prizes, four different winners. I'll close the giveaway and pick the winners in a week - midnight on 14th February (not December! Don't know quite what made me produce that typo!). Dead easy to enter - just be a follower and comment on this post.

It's just a little thank you from me to all of you who have made the past year so much fun.
