100$ Target Giveaway & My 1st Blogiversary


       Hello my dear friends ~ It's hard to believe that I have been blogging for 1 year today!
       It has been a wonderful journey. There were days when I felt like giving up and there
       were days when I did not feel worthy enough in the blog world. When I first started
       blogging I had no idea what I was doing. This past year I loved watching myself
       evolve. I think I'm a better person. I found out that I have a passion for photography,
       who knew? My passion for food is at an all time high.

         I wanted to thank each and every one of you who have graced my page with your
         presence and have taken a brief moment from your life to visit me. It truly touches
         my heart. I read every comment and am in awe of you all. I love the friendships I
         have gained. That to me is the most rewarding part of it all. The wonderful bonding
         of women!!

         In honor of my blogiversary. I wanted to do a little giveaway to my favorite go to
         store. Target, of course. It's my way of saying THANK YOU.

         You can enter 3 times to win and all you have to do is..........

          1) You must follow my blog to enter.
          2) Follow me on Twitter and Tweet about it.
          3) Mention it on your blog or Facebook.

          Good luck! A winner will be picked one week today by Random.org
                       Thank you my sweet Avery for being my hand model.

    Val,
    Congratulations! You have a wonderful blog.Your photos are beautiful and the food always looks yummy! It is an every changing process, and we do learn a little about ourselves along the way. Since I'm new to blogging, I can relate to the feelings you describe, but we keep plugging away and meeting wonderful people on the journey.
