I can't believe it--a year has passed already! One hundred and twenty-four posts...wow. I didn't know when I started if I'd have anything to talk about. I guess I did, hehe! And it was technically February 24th, but I had to iron out the details of this post with the person who funds most of the stuff I do on this blog--my husband, Billy. I kept changing my mind about what I wanted to do to celebrate, and God bless him, he's just so patient with me, hehe.
This post is going to be short, but sweet. Really sweet!
So I've planned a giveaway, and I think you guys are going to like it. I know I do. Hell, I wish I could win it! But this is to give something back to all you guys that faithfully read my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you.
So what is it???
An Apple iPod Touch, 8 GB (second generation)!!!!
YES!!!! One lucky reader will win one of these babies.
AND!!!! The contest is open to all of you, no matter where you live.
The contest will run for one month, so the winner will be chosen randomly on March 26th.
All you need to do is leave a comment here to be entered in the drawing.
If you tweet on Twitter about it, come back here with the link to your Twitter post (you must have that!!) and post that link in a second comment for an extra entry. To get the link to your Twitter post, click under your message where it says "less than _____ ago" and that will take you to a page where you can copy the url of your message.
Make sure you leave a valid email address where I can reach you! If the address doesn't work, I'll have to choose a new winner. And I don't want to have to do that.
Are there any more rules? Not really, but if you'd like to subscribe to my blog--I'm not gonna lie, that would be awesome! But it's not required. ;)
So good luck! Tell all your friends! And thanks to all of you for coming along on this one year (and more to come) adventure with me. You guys are the best!

Oh, congratulations! I've been running my food blog since October, and sometimes it feels like I'll never make it to the 1 year mark (other times, I feel like I've been doing this for years!)!
I'm glad I found your site--I'll have to stop by often now. Your photos are great--very natural lighting. I'm trying to work on mine. I just moved out of an apartment with extreme yellow lighting, so hopefully that should help me some!
Good luck on another year to come! Do stop by sometime.
