My Pixie Blog

My Pixie Blog turns 100 and my very first giveaway!

Last Monday, after cleaning off all traces of mud on my legs and picking out the leaves and god knows what else from my locks, I had the pleasure of meeting two very special bloggy friends of mine for some drinks at the Campbell Apartment in Grand Central Terminal.

This was my third time meeting the very awesome Shana of Fumbling Towards Normalcy, a fellow Sarah McLachlan fan who details her humorous and often head-scratching experiences working in the greatest city in the world, and it was my first encounter with Allyson of 400 Wake-Ups, a wonderfully sweet Southern Belle who takes readers on a journey of her life as an army wife. Our time together was far too brief but it was lovely to meet outside of blog land and connect in real life. There is photographic evidence of that evening but I’ll have to wait until Ally gets back to post. I’m pretty sure I had crazy eyes again. Why am I incapable of taking a normal photograph? I think from now on I’ll keep the shades on everywhere I go.

This marks my 100th post, which is an accomplishment I’m insanely proud of. I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about a raise, promotion, or any other professional achievement as I am about this… and it’s because this blog has really put me in touch with my love of writing all over again. As a special thank you to all my loyal readers, I am hosting my very first giveaway courtesy of Ally who has her own jewelry design business called Daisy and Elm. She has graciously donated a beautiful necklace to one very lucky reader.

But first, let’s take a look at some of the jewelry items she has recently hand crafted (these pieces are now a part of my collection and I can’t wait to take them along with me this summer).

Aren’t they purrrrrty?

And here is the necklace up for grabs. When Ally showed it to me, she told me she wanted to design something that screams girl power. And I think this necklace does just that:

Rules: I’ll try and keep these simple because I am too much of a spazz to register extra votes for Twitter/FB followers, etc. You MUST be a Google Friend Connect follower and reside in the US/Canada in order to be eligible to win. Each comment left on this post will count as one entry. All entries must be received by 10pm on Sunday, June 12th and winners will be announced on Monday, June 13th. Simple enough, right? I’m even considering creating my very first vlog where I choose the name out of a hat to announce the winner, but because I’m not exactly “tech savvy,” I can’t make any promises. There will be not be a random generator though. Folded up pieces of paper and a hat, ya’ll, ’cause that’s how I roll.

Good luck!

  2. I’m pouting over here, arms crossed and everything. I can’t believe you got to meet them both! I might stop pouting if I win the necklace. Maybe. I love everything Ally creates and her bookmark still sits on my nightstand even though I mostly read from the Kindle now.

  3. Congrats! I am so happy for you! The necklace is delightful! Blog writing is so therapeutic. I find that I love writing more because of my blog land adventures. It’s so cool that you got to hang out with some fellow bloggers!
