One Year (and a Giveaway!)

December 13, 2010 by Arena Blake 22 Comments

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of my very first blog post.
It was nothing special. In fact, it had no pictures!
Definitely not something you’d see on the site today.
I think I’ve come a long way in a year.
I’ve posted lots and lots of baked treats, read far too many books and attended my fair share of video game conventions.
I’ve learned how to actually use my camera and I think my photography has improved greatly.
This blog has been such an amazing creative outlet for me. Every day, I look for things that I can post and talk about. It’s seriously one of my favorite things to do!
And I hope it only gets better!
I truly cherish each one of you — the connections we’ve made and all the people I’ve had the chance to get to know.
So for that, I’m holding a contest of epicness to celebrate the last year of memories.
The grand prize?
A shiny new Amazon Kindle WiFi.
Throughout the next week, you’ll also have the chance to win an assortment of signed books over on the reading section of the site.
So now, do you want to enter to win a Kindle?
I thought so.
The Rules:

Only one entry per person.

The contest is open to U.S. and Canada residents only.

(Sorry international readers. Shipping is just too dang expensive!)You *must* be a follower of my blog to enter. To follow my blog, just click the “Join this Site!” button in the Google Friend Connect widget —->

If you were a follower prior to the start of this contest, you will receive 2 entries.Fill out the form below to enter. Do not leave your entry in the comments. 

Entries left in the comments will not be counted.
If you have any questions, you can consult my contest policy.
