5 Years & Counting

{BLOG-IVERSARY GIVEAWAY!}

Today, my little blog turns five. When I started blogging, I’d just finished drafting my first manuscript (it was awful), and my daughter was still napping twice a day (giving me plenty of time to figure out how Wordpress works). Over the years, I’ve posted about writing and books and life, and I’ve met dozens of wonderful people who’ve showered me with support and friendship.

I appreciate you all so much, and to demonstrate my gratitude, I’ve assembled a prize package to send to one lucky reader!

This giveaway is open internationally, and will close on Thursday, April 23rd, at midnight EST. The winner will be selected randomly. He or she will be notified Friday, April 24th.

Here’s what’s up for grabs…

Giveaway

Novels by a few of my favorite authors (Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun, Gayle Forman’s If I Stay, Morgan Matson’s Since You’ve Been Gone), plus a Tervis travel mug, a bookmark and book-ish pin, a poppy notepad and package of thank-you cards, and Jelly Bellies — yum!

    Congrats! Lots of lovely stuff in your giveaway. I like that you always surround yourself with flower-patterns. Actually, my current bed-spread matches that mug! Spring colours, eh?

    5 years is pretty amazing, Katy! I myself hit the two year milestone last November-Blogging can be an uphill battle sometimes but it’s so worth it, isn’t it? 🙂
    Congrats on the blogversary!

    Not here to enter, just wanted to say: Happy Blogiversary!!! I’ve been reading for many of those years and always enjoy your pictures and book reviews. Here’s to five more years 🙂

    Such a cute giveaway! Because we have such similar (fabulous) taste, of course I already own the books, so it’s probably silly for me to enter, but congrats on five awesome years!

    Woah! That’s such an awesome prize pack! I just love that tumbler. (I’m kind of a huge fan of tumblers and water bottles.)

    Congrats on five years! 🙂

    Happy Anniversary! Great giveaway package (although you don’t need to include me in the mix)! Congratulations of five years – my blog anniversary was last week (4 years) but sadly, I’ve been too busy to do anything about it. Next year… 😉
