Guess what you guys?
Today is Bubby and Bean's birthday! Woohoo! Three years ago today, I wrote my first official blog post. I know I've said this before, but Bubby and Bean has become such a huge part of my daily life that I almost can't remember what my work days were like before it existed. It seems a little crazy to me now, but this blog was started as a tiny side project for my businesses, without much thought. I knew nothing about blogging, and I just figured I'd post now and then about things that inspired me in my work. I had no intention of creating something that would eventually become part of my career. It turned out that I really loved blogging, things took off and grew, and here we are. I am so grateful for my readers, for the other bloggers I've met, for the amazing companies with whom I partner, and for all of the events, travels, and opportunities I've gotten as a result of this blog. I can't wait to see what year #4 brings!
To celebrate this special day, I've teamed up with a dozen of this month's sponsors for Bubby and Bean's biggest giveaway ever. Up for grabs is a prize package of 12 fantastic goodies, including clothing, accessories, jewelry, shop credits, advertising spaces, and more.
All together, it's valued at nearly $500 - and one lucky Bubby and Bean reader is going win it all!
This giveaway is open to Bubby and Bean followers/subscribers. If you're a new reader, please make sure to subscribe first through GFC or Bloglovin' in order for your entry to count.
Then just leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about this blog. Or just wish Bubby and Bean a happy birthday. :) That's it!
Once you've completed the mandatory entry above, you can also gain one additional entry for EACH of the following. (*Please put each extra entry in a SEPARATE comment in order for it to count).
This giveaway runs through
November 29th and is open to Bubby and Bean subscribers worldwide. The winner's name will be chosen randomly and announced shortly after. Please make sure that you check back and/or that there is a way to contact you through your entries in case you are the winner. Thanks again to our November
sponsors for contributing such incredible prizes!
Happy Birthday Bubby and Bean!
P.S. If you haven't yet, don't forget to enter the
Bubby and Bean Art Giveaway for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to spend on holiday cards or art prints!
