The Blog is 3 and the Birthday Presents are for You!

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 

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!

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 ;)
