Love Vividly turns 1 on Wednesday!! I cannot believe it’s already been a year since I started blogging. I am so thankful and grateful for all of you guys and your support that you’ve given this blog over the past year! I feel like I thank you guys constantly, but I think it needs to be said how much you are all appreciated! I had no idea what I was getting into when I started blogging, nor what I was going to really blog about in general. I think it’s safe to say I’m pretty happy with where I’ve taken this blog and all of the projects and tutorials I have shared with you guys! Being a blogger can be tough sometimes coming up with ideas and finding the time after work and on weekends too, but I absolutely love it!! One thing about me is that no matter what I do, I am the type of person who will be 100% dedicated to it. During the times that I am feeling a little down about my blog, I gain reassurance in myself by knowing that I have supporters and readers such as you. With that being said, I wanted to do something for you guys since you deserve it and it’s my way of saying THANK YOU with a hug and a kiss!! For this, I am hosting a giveaway on Instagram with some things I love; I’ve teamed up with Kristin from bird + beau and Shenita from thegoodestyle!!

I’ve featured Kristin from bird + beau on Love Vividly before, and am so happy to have teamed up with her once again! She handmakes a whole-lotta jewelry and then some! In this giveaway, you will find one of her minty bangles (I absolutely love anything with the color mint!) AND diam earrings (yup, seafoam color!) Since she handmakes everything, each and every piece is unique and special. You can learn more about her shop here in this previous blog post.

I’ve recently found Shenita from thegoodestyle on Instagram and am pretty glad I did! She produces handmade clutch bags and accessories. Shenita definitely has the eye for choosing the right colors and patterns that make her pieces pop! In this giveaway she provided this beautifully patterned clutch with the pop of pink in the inside (eeek!) contrasted with leather on the bottom. There’s also her handmade makeup bag that any girl would LOVE! Of course the pattern is a minty color too!!

In addition to these two wonderful shops, I have also decided to include a popular DIY blog post from the past—the Mini Cactus Garden. I have included the wooden box as well as gold Martha Stewart paint and a foam brush to help with the painting! You can learn all about the project here. Also, since I absolutely LOVE Paper Source, I’ve included this gold heart wine stopper (I wish I could keep it!) and this “get it done” Rifle Paper Co. notepad!

I think it’s safe to say you need ALL OF THESE! Be sure to check back on my Instagram at 6pm tonight so you can enter into this ridiculously awesome giveaway and in the meantime be sure to follow bird + beau and thegoodestyle on Instagram to get a step ahead of everyone else!! (insert kissy face emoji here!!)

LOVE YOU GUYS! xoxo
