Happy Blogiversary to me & a GIVEAWAY!

The time has come.  It has been exactly one year since I started this lil ol’ blog of mine.
I look back at my first post (well, first few as well) and think WOW.  This blog has come a long way.  I started it as something to do at work during the summer when business was slow.  I didn’t really expect anything to come of it and I really didn’t think I’d STILL be blogging a year later.
It has become something much more than a way to fill empty time.  In fact I rarely even find time to blog nowadays because life is so hectic, but I make time for it.  I look forward every day to reading my blogroll and sharing something I find to be spectacular with you guys. 
Just a few days ago I hit 300 followers.  To some, that may not seem like a big deal, but to me it is.  I try not to look at the numbers, but when I think back to a year ago, and how long it took me to get ONE follower…and then how excited I was to have ten… and then 100, and now 300 of you actually care to hear what I have to say and do. 
I am so thankful for each and every one of you.  Your comments make my day.  You motivate me to create, dream, and inspire. 
I love you all!
To say thank YOU I am hosting my very first giveaway!
The prize:

A delicate turquoise sideways cross necklace made with love by yours truly.
To enter:
  • You must follow Champagne Lifestyle on a Beer Budget via GFC
  • Comment this post! For kicks, tell me what you’d wear with it.
For extra entries:
(Leave a separate comment for each entry and include your username.)
Giveaway will close Monday July 16th at noon Pacific time. 
Winner will be selected at random.  
xoxo,

    The necklace is so cute. You should open your own Etsy shop! It's a perfect dainty necklace, and I would pair it for a casual day, or layer it with some other simple gold necklaces.

    Happy 4th! xx
