happy happy blogday …

to me, to me … well, I cannot believe it’s been three years to the day since I started this little ole blog of mine.  Wish I could slice you up a piece of cake!  Three years ago, I had few readers, no followers, and no idea if I would continue.  But I had friends who would read it, and then send me an e-mail about what I had posted.   Which is kind of funny, if you think about it.  They still do this.  Cuties.

In honor of the occasion, I was thinking of a giveaway.   Since this blog is mostly about what I am up to in the kitchen, my home, places I’ve been or like to go, and photography, I thought I would offer up some in each category, with the winner picking their favorite one.  

In the kitchen, I picked this one.  Worth it for the cinnamon rolls alone. 

 

In the home category, I went with a newer one, and an older one. 

For travel, this was the pick.  I like it because it is great for weekends away in the US and Canada.

And for photography, it had to be these.  The first one is a fascinating look into the world at the beginning of color photography.  Whether you’re a photographer or a student of history or just people, it is amazing.   That one man had the vision to take on this project astounds me.   The second one is widely regarded as a must read for any photographer.  Tons of great information here. 

Now for the rules.  (there always are rules for these, right?)  Leave a comment letting me know you would like to win.  You can choose one right now, or you can choose it later.  If you are a follower who enters, you automatically get a second entry.  If you post this contest to your blog, link to this post, then come back and let me know for another entry.  Not too hard, right?  I will take comments through Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern US time, since I know not everyone blogs over the weekend, and announce the winner on Wednesday. 

Good Luck!

Best,

Stephanie
