Missed It... by 4 days (or Happy 4 Year Bloggiversary to me)

I missed it last year.... and I've managed to miss it again.

Last Sunday, this little blog clicked over the 4 year mark.

4 years and 1716 posts later (this one is number 1717), and I'm still rambling on. Whodathunkit?
I think I deserve cake to celebrate.

Missed it....... by that much!

I was just sitting here reading Leonie's Bloggiversary post, when I all of a sudden realised that I'd totally missed my very own 3 year Bloggiversary last Saturday (15th January).

From my very first post, until today.... it's certainly been an experience!

There have been 1335 posts so far, and life is absolutely nothing like it was just three short years ago.

Anyway, I think that after sticking with it for so long, I should have a little celebration and a giveaway.

The rules are super simple:

• Pop on over to my Big Cartel Shop, or my Made It Shop, and choose your favourite iPhone/Gadget Pouch, or Sunnies/Specs Pouch. 

• Come back and tell me which is your favourite.

• The random number generator will choose a winner, and the winner will receive the pouch that they've chosen.

• Entries Close - Tuesday night (25th Jan) at 8PM AEDST

Good luck!

A blogaversary winner

Your mystery prize will be on it's way in a week or so, once I've attempted to work out what you might like tp receive.
Thanks so much to everyone who played along and left me a congratulatory comment.

It's a Blogaversary!

The very first CurlyPops Banner

It's been two whole gigantic years since I began my day to day bloggy blabber...... and wow, how things have changed!

The first ever photo on CurlyPops Blog

What began as a bit of fun on the computer has completely changed everything in my life - lots of new friends, new work, new creative dreams, new motivation, new life.

When I first sat down in front of the screen and signed up, and started blogging in secret (yep - I didn't tell anyone at all), I could never have dreamed that it would have such a positive effect on my life.

So to celebrate my 2nd bloggaversary, I'm having a giveaway.

After chatting to Nikki and Cathy lastnight, I'm going to totally pinch Cathy's idea, and custom make something to suit the blogger who wins...... it's a bit like a lucky dip - you just never know what it could be!

Anyhow - you've gotta be in it to win it - so just leave me a comment - simple as that.

And the skirt goes to:

There were 28 unique entries for my blogaversary prize.

Drumroll please........

The winner is number 7 which is Clare from Clare's Craftroom. Congratulations Clare - please send me an email to mscurlypops (at) gmail (dot) com with your details and I will pop your prize in the mail!

Lookout later this week for another giveaway.

Blogaversary

I completely forgot all about my blogaversary on January 15th! Oh well, better late than never.

To celebrate, I'm having a little giveaway. This is the skirt that I made in December which is too big for me. I keep moving it around the house, trying to decide what to do with it, so I've decided to give it away to whoever would like it. It's approximately an Australian size 14 - waist is 104cm.

Just remember that it's the first adult size skirt that I have ever made in my life, and you will probably need to wear a petticoat underneath as I probably should have lined the fabric (I'm still learning these things as I go along).

Of course, I'll also throw in some fabric and some crafty bits and bobs as well. Just leave me a comment and I'll draw the winner Sunday night (1st Feb) Melbourne Time.
