1st Year Blog Anniversary!!

****THIS GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED****
YEY!! Happy Bloggy Birthday to me!!

I cant believe its already been a year since I first discovered blogs and started writing my own. What made me decide to start blogging??? Well a lovely lady called Sarah, whom I know alot of you already know, has an amazing blog and the most gorgous range of felty lovelyness. :) I cant remember exactly how I stumbled across her blog but once I started reading I was hooked! And after a while I thought, Hey I could do this too.

Feeling a little timid (me? yeah right!) and not even sure that anyone was actually going to read it...my first post was born and the rest they say is history.

I have to say starting a blog is one of the best things I ever done. I've met so many wonderful people and made some really great friends. Its kept me organised- I always know what I have to do and when it needs done by because I post about it. Being a follower is just as important to me as I love all the inspiring things I read and see on a daily basis. It has definitely given me the boost that I've needed to take bagladee to the next level. Which also started my Etsy shop and kept me motivated to finish my website.

As a gigantic thank you to all of you who have inspired, supported, commented, read, purchased, posted, swapped and challenged me I am GIVING AWAY one of my bags.....yes you read right ladies! All you have to do is leave a comment to enter, you can get an extra entry if you either:
1) Tell a friend and they comment too (make sure they quote your name)
2) Blog about my post (make sure that you come back and leave the link)

***The prize is your choice of any one of the bags in the photo at the top of the post***

The winner will be announced Monday 20th April. Thank you again......

Hugs Em xx

    Happy Blogoversary Emma. I just want to wish you congratulations, but not enter your giveaway - I think they're all lovely bags, but I have severe giveaway guilt from winning too many lately. I feel the need to have a couple more of my own before I can put myself forward to win anything else.

    Yep I know ... I'm weird! x
