2nd Month Blogiversary and Giveaway!

Today marks 2 months that I've been blogging. Boy, it has gone by fast!





This was my very first picture from my very first post. (grass in a pot)










I've learned SO MUCH over the past two months. I basically started out a computer illiterate. (And yes, I did do the happy dance when I learned how to cut and paste.)






Allison from House of Hepworths was so kind to email me back and forth teaching me how to do some of the basic things that most bloggers already know.






I very recently was awarded The Versatile Blogger award from Tabitha at Inspired By Giving.







And I had the honor of guest blogging at Restore Interiors.








The tutorial I did for Restore Interiors was the Homemade Carnations. These flowers have garnered the most response of all my posts and projects. So in honor of my 2nd month blogiversary, I'm going to give away a homemade carnation bouquet to one of Charming's awesome followers!






One lucky reader will receive a white plastic urn with tissue paper carnations (made by moi) in the color of her (or his) choice.







All you need to do to be entered in the giveaway is to become a follower of Charming and to leave a comment on this post telling which color bouquet you would prefer. The giveaway will end midnight Cinco de Mayo (Thursday, May 5th) Good luck!







I have been so grateful for all the wonderful comments and words of encouragement over the last two months. You all are wonderful!

  2. I'm already a follower!! I think we may have started blogging about the same time! Happy two month blogiversary! How could you pick out of all those colors?? My granddaughter always asks me what my favorite color is and I always say "rainbow" cause it's just too hard to pick one color!

  5. Of course I am a follower and I would LOVE to win this beautiful bouquet! I would choose the purple-ish color since I don't have anything in that shade! It would be perfect for spring! Congrats on your blogging milestone!

  6. Congrats on the anniversary! You have done so much for a "new" blogger and I think I am a tad bit jealous...ok, more than a tad! I haven't figured out how to do half of the things I think I "should" know how to do.
    anyway, I am happily following and love the carnations! My daughter has a new lavender colored bedroom so I think I would probably choose the purple color to surprise her!
