It is a year ago today that the big wide world of blogging began thanks to this awsome gal!
I was around visiting Jodie to pick up some chenille when she said to me...."have you seen these great blogs?" "Huh?" I replied.....
I had never looked at a blog.
She showed me hers and the rest is history!!
So one year on, I have discovered a whole new world of wonderful people, met some great new friends, learnt a lot from the amazingly talented crafty community, had lots of fun, been encouraged to keep going, joined a craft group, been on a crafty weekend away, joined some great swaps and kept a diary of it all for the world to see and me to look back on in years to come.
I want to thank everyone who has left a comment here for me. It means a lot and it keeps me going. I try my best to reply to comments but sometimes the sewing machine gets in the way........ :)
Now, no blogaversary can go by without a little giveaway can it?
So, I have organised a gift certificate of $50US for my Etsy shop MyShabbyCottage.etsy.com
I am in the process of restocking the shop so look out!
All you need to do is.....
leave a comment on this post and if you don't have an Etsy account you must register for one
(you can add me - myshabbycottage - as the referrer if you want but it's not necessary)
so that you can receive your gift certificate (it's FREE to join - so go and do it!) and once you have an account you must add me to your favourite sellers if you haven't already done so.
So, that's pretty simple isn't it?
The giveaway will close Tuesday 16th June at 7pm (AEST) and will be drawn on Wednesday morning.
Good Luck to everyone!
Thank you blogland. It has been a blast.
Here's to the next year!!! Hippip Hooray!
Kathryn. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Happy Anniversary to you and congratulations on a lovely blog. Thanks for the giveaway too, oh and you are already a fave on etsy !
Woohoo!! Isn't it amazing how this little community makes us feel like better people, perhaps even more understood and not at all like a crazy lady who collects fabrics and drools over buttons and ribbons!
Congratulations on your milestone..may there be many more and may I win that wonderful gift certificate! I have to be careful of what I leave around with your gorgeous goodies on it as 'Santa' brought child number 3 a sleepy/awake babushka and she doesn't believe Santa would send postcards or use Etsy...oopps!

Hi Kathryn,
Congratulations on your one year anniversary. Hip hip horray!!!
Loving etsy, will add you to my fave seller next time I am on.

Congratulations Kathyn and thank you for such a wonderful giveaway. What an opportunity to add to my little collection of delightful things so beautifully made by you.
Congratulations and best wishes on your blogversary!! We love to visit your blog and see all your charming shabby projects!!
one year? Wow! I think as a birthday gift you should have a Russian Doll bag. No really, I insist. Honestly you'll love ALL the colours in it as well as those amazing button eyes and cheeks. And the brown-ness of the bag shows up the red of the dress so well. It will look great. No, it is fine I am more than happy to share, I would feel mean hogging it for any longer. ;-)
Yippee! Happy Bloggaversary to you Kathryn. I can't believe you've only been blogging for a year. Time certainly flies when you're having crafty fun!
Dear Kathryn
Happy Blogaversary! Thank you for sharing your inspiring creations with the world!
