My 2nd BLOGAVERSARY and an 800 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY & Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
(Excuse the long post I have a lot to share)

Good Morning Friends,

 I can not believe it! I am starting my third year blogging. Who would have thought I would like it so much? Not me, but I do.  I am not one for new years resolutions, but I do make changes periodically, when things just aren't working right. You have probably noticed the new blog look. I would love to do that more often at least seasonally,  monthly would be more fun. I will settle for when ever I can. My blog was so busy that I was having trouble finding things, so I can image how frustrating it must have been for any of you to come visit.

I also thought I had too many challenges going at one time for me to keep up with, and  I wanted to make it easier for my winners to be able to claim their prize. Starting today there is a tab at the top with links to the winner post. The challenges will also be numbered- beginning with #101.  Linky parties won't be numbered.


Here are some more changes and there is a link to this at the top of the blog as well- titled

DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY CHALLENGE  and LINKY PARTY info


Some Rules to keep in mind while playing along:

Starting January 1, 2013

Challenges:  There will be 2 challenges per month
they will begin the  2nd and 4th Thursday of the month 
and will close  TUESDAY the following week (giving you 13 days to enter)  at 11:59

DL.ART Thankful Thursday must be mentioned in the description with a link back to here

LINKY PARTY challenge (same as above)  except Anything goes  
The linky party will begin the 1st Thursday of the month and end the last day of the month
you may enter as often as you like starting January 1, 2013.

Winners will be posted the Friday after the linky party ends

MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN.


Winners need to contact me through E-mail within two weeks and send me their snail mail address, so I can get the prize to them.  Prizes not claimed within two weeks will be restocked and used for a future giveaway.


What would a New Year's day post be if I didn't have a card to share with you?

This little guy is so cute I had to use this cartridge I have had it for so long. CAC2- first image in the book

I love how the googly eyes look

GIVEAWAY

********************************************************************************************************


On to my give away. Not all my followers and friends have Cricut machines I am aware of that. Not everyone lives in the US. That is why the three different prizes.

I will do one drawing random drawing after 11:59 pm January 23rd and the winner will receive one of these three prizes.
