Blog follower appreciation week day one!

Hello, friends!

It makes me happy that so many of you come over and check out my little blog as much as you do! Honestly, I started this blog just as a way to document my progress and growth in the hobby. Now it has almost turned into a full time job keeping posts up and making things for both blogs. They say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something, so I guess I am working towards my Cricut PhD ;-)

This week I want to show my appreciation to all of you by doing a week of giveaways! Today's giveaway is a Best of 2010 cartridge! To be eligible to win all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and be a follower of this blog.



I will be back tomorrow with another awesome giveaway, so be sure to check back in!

PEACE, LOVE, AND CRAFTS!
