Blog Milestone Winner! Loly Borda-Towery

This is a day late (blast that working every day!), but a winner of our first blog candy has been selected.  random.org provided the winner through a random number selection:

That's right, Loly Borda-Towery, you are a winner!  Loly said "how I celebrated an accomplishment: it's very hard for me to loose weight, I've put on 10 extra pounds this winter, so at the beginning of March I gave up all sugar and flour from my diet, in these 3 weeks I lost 3 pounds, so to reward myself I bought 1 set of stamps from CAS-ual Fridays."

Hooray.  This makes you a winner twice over- new stamp set courtesy of weight loss and this small prize package from both of us here at Contagiously Crafty.  Please email me your address directly at viralscrapa(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll drop this in the mail.

Thank you to everyone who commented.  Big or small, accomplishments are to be celebrated.  It was fun to see how you all do so. We'll look forward to the next big accomplishment.

Blog Candy for our Milestone

Earlier this month our tiny little blog, carved out of a desire to spread our passions and inspirations about papercrafting, hit a major milestone.  I mentioned the milestone at the time- this is a minor if not inconsequential blip on the screen of Internet life.  However, it is our inconsequential blip and so we thought that it needed some celebrating. 

This momentous milestone requires a celebration of the bloggish kind.  We thought we might offer up some blog candy for the occasion (our first ever).  We'll mail this tiny set of coordinating paper, rub-ons, brads and ribbon to one randomly drawn commenter from the original post to win the prize.  Click the link and tell us one smallish way you've celebrated an accomplishment.  It doesn't have to be of the bloggish kind.  All comments received before midnight March 31st, 2013 are eligible to win. 

Celebrating is the best!  Remember to clink through to the original post to make your comment and have it count in the drawing.

Blog Milestone!

Just days ago our tiny little blog, carved out of a desire to spread our passions and inspirations about papercrafting, hit a major milestone.  Well, truthfully this is a minor if not inconsequential blip on the screen of Internet life.  However, it is our inconsequential blip and so we thought that it needed some celebrating.  As the picture testifies, our blog passed the 10,000th view!  Yay! 

The part that will forever be a source of joy for Andie personally is that the most popular post by far is one of another person's (yeah Keri!) inspiration.  Yes, it's true- the post regarding the Bubble Guppie party for Keri's one year old posted last year has double the views of any other post made by the blog authors.  Never (and I mean never!!) underestimate the google searching capabilities of parents of young children on a quest to host that perfectly memorable birthday party!  More than a tenth of all visits forever!

This momentous milestone requires a celebration of the bloggish kind.  It is small- and, therefore, maybe reflects the smallishness of the accomplishment :)- but we thought we might offer up some blog candy for the occasion.  We'll mail this tiny set of coordinating paper, rub-ons, brads and ribbon to one randomly drawn commenter from this post to win the prize.  Please tell us one smallish way you've celebrated an accomplishment.  It doesn't have to be of the bloggish kind.  All comments must be made before midnight March 31st, 2013. 

Let's hear it for milestones!
