Awards, Followers, and Giveaways...oh my!

So I have to tell you, I am just so excited!

My little blog is competing in the Parents Magazine Blog Awards contest!

I've been nominated in the "Best Kids Crafts" category.

It would really really really mean a lot to me if you would vote...but please only do it if you like this blog and enjoy seeing the ideas posted here.  To vote, just click on the button, either here or on the sidebar, and you'll be asked to either login or create an account on the magazine's website before you're able to cast a vote.

Thank you SO much!

In other news, my bloggy buddy Stephanie over at Luxe Boulevard is celebrating her 28th birthday on Sunday {HAPPY BIRTHDAY!} and she's celebrating by giving presents away to readers.  From the 26-28, she's hosting several giveaways each day, and today, one of those just so happens to be a bird nest necklace from One Artsy Mama.

So if you want to play along and have a chance to win, go visit Stephanie, enter the giveaway, and wish her a very Happy Birthday from One Artsy Mama!  I also hear that tomorrow one of the giveaways is made by Stephanie herself.  A few months back, I won these earrings and this fabulous headband from her Etsy shop, so I know firsthand that you may want to stop by and enter that one too!

Good luck!

Aaaaand.....speaking of giveaways, I am excited to announce that I'm getting awfully close to 200 followers!  I'm less than 20 wonderful friends away from the magic number.  And when I hit it, I'm going to be hosting a few giveaways here to celebrate.  I'm going to be giving away some fun things from my shop, plus I'm looking for some friends who might be interested in participating by donating something from their shop or something they've made.  If you're interested, let me know, either here, on FB, or through email at dancers4life at gmail dot com and I'll give you the details!

Have a great day!
