GST is 3! A Guest Post and GIVEAWAY! Phew!

I awoke this morning and felt like I was forgetting something. Then I remembered.  Today is Gorgeous Shiny Thing's 3 year Blogiversary.  I had thought about what I would do for this post last week and then it slipped my mind.  I don't think I every celebrated a Blogiversary to date, so this morning I decided to change that. 

First off, I can't believe I am actually still blogging.  I started this as a way to reconnect with design. Having taken off the past year and a half off to raise my babies, I felt fulfilled in the motherhood department, but there was a hole in my creative department.  I started posting things I liked and painting the crap out of my house.  I had no idea what I was doing. (See my lame first post here. I couldn't even upload a photo right, I think those were added later.) I also posted like 5 times that day. Anyhow, I quickly met so many amazing people that encouraged me, gave me their honest opinions and shared many common ideas and made me laugh.   I can't tell you how much I truly love this little place on the web!

 I had no idea that I would make so many friends through this blog. One of which I need to make a big shout out to, the designing powerhouse Amber of Amber Interiors whom I happen to be guest blogging over at today.

Please hop over and visit her, I will be playing "Babe Behind the Blog" 

and baring my soul and my thin skin.

A big thank you for having me Amber!

This blog also lead to many new clients and the start of O'verlays- a business I owe it's entire growth to bloggers and readers like you.  

Thank you for all your support these past 3 years.  For listening to my crazy rants, for watching me paint everything in my entire fucking house-twice, maybe three times, and for just being there.   I have no idea what is to come, or where this blog will take me, but I do know I am so glad I stuck with it-(with a few breaks here and there, not gonna lie, I need a break sometimes).  

So now for the fun stuff, 

a GIVEAWAY! 

I wish I could be all Oprahlike and give you all cars and shit- but I am working with what I got which means O'verlays and a pair pillow covers from my super awesome biz partner and seamstress Cheryle Rhuda.  She was super sweet and wanted to jump into this giveaway too.
