I cannot believe it's been 2 years since I first took the leap into Bloggerland! Time does go by so quickly, doesn't it? In that time, much has bloomed for me - I've made many new online friends and have even had the pleasure of meeting some in person! In the past 2 years I also began, timidly at first, calling myself an "artist". (Blooming can sometimes be a slow business.)
Thank you so much for all your warm comments and supportive feedback! It's meant the world to be part of such a creative and positive community.
To celebrate my anniversary, "My Blooming Life" has had a little makeover . . . the whole site has a fresh new blooming look! There's even 4 pages now (whose blooming is still in progress). This beautiful work was done by my friend down under, Tara! Do check out her work here . . . she's a delight to work with!
I wanted to do a little something for YOU! I've stitched up a journal that is patiently waiting for its new mommy. I've hand painted many of the pages and tucked in surprises here and there. If you'd like to adopt the journal, please leave a comment here between July 22 and July 28, 2010. On the 29th, I'll draw a name and contact the winner for a mailing address! Wanna a little peak at the giveaway? Here she is . . .
Again, thank you for being you...thank you for visiting from time to time. Sending you much love and blossoming of your own! Kisses!

Congratulations on TWO years!
I just hit the one year mark last month myself! You were one of my first followers and yours was one of the first I've followed.
Sorry if I haven't always left comments...there's just not enough time in a day for me most times! But I've always read your posts and followed your blooming progress!
So let's have a cocktail and say "Cheers" to another Fun year!
XOXO- Cindi

Have a lovely, art-filled weekend!

Hi there - I just found your blog through Dirty Footprints. The journal looks so beautiful! I would love to be entered in the giveaway.
This journal is awesome :)
I celebrated my 2year blog anniversary too but just "me and my blog", I didn't dare celebrating in public (I should have lol) !
Congratulations and I wish you more years of blog love.
Wow baby, you never cease to amaze me!!! The new look is bloomin' gorgeous & fresh... I feel as if I could reach out & touch those stargazers & breath in their smokey, seductive scent right thru my computer screen!!!
The journal is another beautiful creation & I am loving the blog... congratulations on your last two years of blooming. I have had the pleasure of seeing you blossom over & over again during the wonderful friendship we have shared over the years. However, this incarnation is by far your most joyous & free!!
Love you & all of your beauty! XOXOX Marti
I really like the name of your blog ~ My blooming life ~ so perfect and so true and so resonates with how I feel about my own life. You say 2 years ago you began to call yourself artist, that is wonderful! I too though not artist per say have finally taken the leap to call myself my passion ~ nutritionist. Thank you for the inspiration and confirmation that life is all about blooming.
