Holy cow. I had no idea that my pinterest challenge project would generate as much interest as it did! At one point yesterday evening, I think I saw smoke coming from my computer screen. I had over 1,000 page views alone yesterday. That’s quite a bit for me, as I’m pretty sure my mom (hi, momma!) is my only blog reader.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by and thank you for the sweet comments and emails! To answer some of your questions, I will post a tutorial at some point, and I will provide a list of materials. At some point. Like when PB is napping. And my belly is full. I promise 🙂
Kristie, from Obsessive Crafting Disorder (my pinspiration site) even stopped by! Eeek! She has a fantastic website with beautiful tutorials. Thanks for sharing your wreaths, Kristie 🙂
When I made my wreath this weekend, I had alot of extra materials left over, so I decided to make another one. And YOU can win it!
That’s right. I’m hosting my very first geeeeevaway. You can be a vieennner!
To enter:
1. Leave a comment and tell me what your favorite season is. If you say fall, we will be bff.ffff.ffs forever.
2. And you can become a follower of the rookie years, too 🙂
The deadline for entry is Saturday night at 11:59 p.m. If you enter at 11:59 p.m., you are way cooler than me. I will have most likely been asleep for 3.5 hours. The viennnner will be chosen via randomizer.org (aka, the only thing I learned in grad school), and announced on Monday.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck 🙂
(this giveaway is 100% sponsored by muah. i made the wreath, and i’m going to give it away to show my appreciation for visiting my blog. ya heard.)

ME!!!! Me, Me, Me!! I love that wreath and I need one for my front door! My favorite season is fall (yes, honestly!) and I'm slightly obsessed with all things fall related. Luckily, I live in an area where Fall is just SOOO gorgeous so it helps to put me in the Fall season mood. Apple cider, leaves turning, pick-your-own pumpkins, halloween, thanksgiving. . .aaaah, I love fall!

Your mama is definitely not your only blog reader! I'm actually really glad I found yours!
Fall is definitely my favorite season. I look forward to Thanksgiving all year because it's when I am able to see my entire family all at once. I love it that much more now because my husband's family has a tradition of cooking cane syrup and having a pot luck lunch outside. You can check out those happenings here: http://thedavistwo.blogspot.com/2010/11/thankful-for-ones-i-love.html
The wreath is gorgeous and if I'm not the winner I can't wait for your tutorial!!

You have followers. Yay! How does it feel? I love your blog! You make everyday life sound exciting. It's things that happen to all (or most) of us. And yes, ma'am. Fall is my favorite season. I love the smell or the air and the cool mornings. There's nothing better than fall & football 🙂

I would love to win your wreath! I have to say, I feel that I am meant to win as we are kindred spirits. I don't know how I found your blog, but I did find it yesterday and when I read your post about guilt, tears were pouring from my eyes. I finally found someone that is saying in words everything I, too, feel daily after having my daughter in Feb. What an enormous blessing, and huge responsibility, it is to be a parent and want to raise your child the best you can. Thank you for letting me know I am not the only one that struggles with beating myself up about every choice I make! And, my favorite season is also fall. 🙂 I mean, come on, it's the best.

I love that wreath you made. I had it in my head to try (which I'm nowhere near as crafty as you). So much fun you're hosting a giveaway. 🙂
My fav season is fall, too (not to copy you). There's just something about the coolness in the air, breaking out the light sweaters, friday night football games (and saturday,and sunday, and monday as it is in our house), the search for the perfect pumpkins to carve and decorate the house with, and the fun times in jumping in leaves (as cliche as it sounds, yes, we jump in the leaves). Fall is all around the best season there is. 🙂

My favorite is spring/summer. Is it okay to have two? I like the warm weather and the promise of late spring and early summer, but by August it's just so dang hot. The heat index was 117 today! I hate to be cold though so I'll take this over winter any day.

My absolute favorite time of year is fall. It signifies the beginning of school, the start of leaves changing colors, football, chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate, apple pie and family get togethers. I love the smell of the leaves and the cool fresh air outside. I love how sunny it can be and how happy it seems outside. Our family is a whole lot happier in the fall. I especially can't wait for this fall, as it will be my Sweet Pea's first Halloween and I can't wait to get her all dressed up!
