Happy Blogiversary… and YOU can win!

written by Jen on Friday, October 16, 200919 Comments

Happy Blogiversary to me!  See below to win one of my RED INSTEAD handmade bags, worth $55.00. {Competition extended until Tuesday at midnight to give a few more people a chance to enter.}

My blog birthday was actually yesterday but that pesky Blog Action Day got in the way again!   According to their website, there were 27,000 blog posts about Climate Change yesterday!  What an amazing job!  Love being a part of the blogging community.

Today, 4 years ago I started this blog and I’m still going strong.  I can actually say that I’ve been blogging since way before it was even a word.  Yes, I really am that cool.  Or maybe I’m just that old.  I remember when Blogger FIRST LAUNCHED.  I was one of the early sign-ups and I loved it.  Everyone did.   I had it hosted on my own site (you had the option of doing that back then) and I knew a revolution was on the way.  Before that, I had to write a freshly coded page (by hand, people!) and FTP it to my server each and every time I wrote a post.  Eh.  Back in my day and all that…

Anyway, enough about that - here’s something for you!  In honour of my blog birthday I would like to give away one of my bags to a lucky reader. This is a great bag - it holds everything and you can just sling it over your shoulder and go on your way.

I love my readers and I love getting comments, so bring it on.  Let’s see how many we can get here.  Just leave a comment on this post to go into the draw to win.

I would LOVE it if you would also post about this contest on your blog to spread the word.  Let me know if you do and I will give you another entry, so you can double your chances.  The competition will close on Sunday Tuesday night at midnight (Australian time, that’s +10 hours) and I will draw a random winner and post the name on Monday Wednesday.

You can see more of my bags (and zip purses, bracelets and art prints) at RED INSTEAD handmade and lucky you, there’s 20% off everything right now so even if you don’t win, you win!
