First Blogiversary! And a give-away!

*Thanks for your sweet comments! Give-away is closed now*

Welcome sweet friends! Today is my first Blogiversary! And this is an autopost. I am in Italy at the moment :)
But I couldn't leave my blog without a post on this special day. When I decided to start a blog I never imagined that it would be so much fun and that I'd meet so many amazing people from all over the world! Your support and your comments mean very much to me and I am glad to know you! Sorry I don't have a card to share today, but a photo I took in our garden:



And how about a blogcandy? To say thank you, I am giving away a 25$ gift certificate from Papertrey Ink! To enter, please post about the candy and leave a comment here. Good luck!

Happy Monday and thanks for visiting!

Hugs,
Vanessa
