I'm so excited to offer my second Happy Handmade Giveaway to my readers to celebrate another year of Ordinary Lovely!
Well actually its not a celebration of my blog, it's really a celebration of the friendships and conversations and support that happen here. It's a "thank you" for your sharing this space with me!
Three years ago, the first words I ever typed here were
Three years ago, the first words I ever typed here were
And so I begin…
with no clear direction or defined purpose other than to consolidate the proof that my ordinary life is a pretty amazing composite of extraordinary moments.
I didn't realize back then that you and the blogging community would be part of that extraordinary!
So -- I have three handmade-by-me gifts to offer three readers ('cause the blog is 3... get it?!?....... *crickets*.........)
Anyway, thanks, swell readers! I truly, truly appreciate the friendships I have here!
If you'd like to enter to win a gift, leave a comment here! Introduce yourself if you haven't before, and everyone give me your ideas on what you'd like to see more of on the blog! It would be awesome and much appreciated if you visited the Ordinary Lovely facebook page and followed me on Instagram, but those are just perks for you and me. They won't buy you extra entries ;) I'm doing things the old fashioned way - if you comment here, that's your entry. One of my kids will draw names out of a hat on Sunday, November 15th and the winners will be announced the next day!
Also, click here if you missed the announcement of the Ordinary Lovely Shoplet! If you'd like to support me and do a little Christmas shopping, I'll have a handful of other handmade items up for sale on the blog soon.
Happy Blog-iversary, readers!
<3 Theresa
ps - I thought for two seconds about buying a styrofoam head from the craft store to display some of this stuff. But, no. I do my own modeling to keep things legit. But don't worry... it will look better on you ;)

Good luck!
Happy birth-day to you and the blog! When I started blogging, I certainly didn't expect to make friends, either. It's a marvelous perk, no?
ReplyDeleteYour handmade items are so pretty. Will it help my chances if I sent your kids a box of Snickerdoodles? :)
Yay! Happy Birthday to one of my favorite blogs! They all look lovely, but I won the gray hat last year, so I will bow out this year. I can't wait until it gets cold enough here for me to wear it :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-iversary Theresa!!! *passes out party hats, throws confetti, waves noise maker* I love reading your blog - it always makes me smile and I'm looking forward to see what you'll do with it next. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging birthday!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely. :) I think my favorite is the bag, if only because that is far beyond my skillset to make!
You are so sweet to make gifts for your readers! I especially love the scarf. I'm not so great about commenting on blogs, but I try to leave instagram comments.

ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday! I LOVE the bag!!
ReplyDeleteI also love your food posts and can never get enough of those!
love scarfs like that. so cute! wondering if i could rock the hat. i love seeing posts about home decor, even if its just simple things like woven basket organization, i like gift idea posts and i love any posts about food, especially when you provide the recipe ;) those are the things i get inspired by. i have made quite a few of your recipes, bought a bunch of those baskets from joanns and even some christmas, easter and halloween books based on your recommendations ;)
