Surprise! It's My 4 Year Blogiversary Party with Giveaways!


In case you didn't know it's my 4 year blogiversary! I can't believe I've been at this for so long! it seems like yesterday that I first posted that picture of baby Coco but it was really March 3, 2009. Like my dad always says, the older you get the faster time goes. Le sigh.

Last year, I celebrated my 3 year blogiversary in April since I was so busy in March and this year the month kind of got away from me too so this week is the official party! You don't want to miss it. I'm giving away books all week and the grand prize is going to be AWESOME! I've never given away anything quite like it before. If you want a prize "spoiler", check out this tweet. ;-) 

There's no blog button this year, but please help by spreading the word about this party on Twitter or on Facebook! 

Don't forget to visit this blog tomorrow for a new post with a new prize to win! Each blogiversary giveaway will be open until Sunday, April 28, 2013. Remember this post, it will be updated with links to all the other giveaways that will be going on at this blog later in the week.
To start things off right and to thank you all for being such awesome friends, I'm going to giveaway the book that I reviewed earlier today, Roses Have Thorns by Sandra Byrd! So as my blog header says, "Have a seat and enjoy a good book" ...and a piece of virtual blogiversary cake! Yum!

    Thanks Sandra for having this contest. I am glad to be a follower of yours. Thanks for having a few I can enter. Tho, where it says options I don't understand that one for it brings up Pinterest for you to do and I don't have that, so not my own option. The first Rafflecopter that it showed when I first got on here didn't have even one place I could enter. Not fair to your Facebook friends, Guess why I don't care for this kind. Please put my name and hoping to win. Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)com
