{Etsy Shop} Princesses & Rockets PLUS Bloggerversary Deets

This gal has been busy, busy, busy whipping up some fun and new party items for my Etsy shop.  I'm excited to share these new printable party invitations with you today.  New in the shop today is a Princess Printable Party Kit and Rocket themed invitations for a fun outer space party.  I designed both of these a while ago and was happy to finally add them to the shop (yay!).  

I am currently working on a complete set for the rocket themed party, but was so excited about the invitation - that I couldn't wait to share! 

Soooo, my bloggerversary was last week, but with all of the holiday on-goings, I decided to wait until this week to announce it.  I've been working on this blog and my party business for about three years now - WOW THREE YEARS!!!!!  That sho' is a lot of time! 

{Here comes the self-gratuitous, 'loves me blog', rant} in the beginning, I ho-hummed along, and each year I promised I would do more blogging, add more content, be more of a 'Blogger'.  I wanted a huge blog following and to be known worldwide and all that extra stuff that I saw some other party bloggers doing.  But truth be told, over time, I learned to just do what I can and pray that folks are reading.  I am a wife, a mom, and a business owner who happens to work a full-time job.  That's a lot of party hats!  I love being able to blog and share that I love creating fabulous parties, sweet confections & decor......BUT IT IS A HELLUVALOTTA DAMN WORK!  I realized that this blog is my fun way of sharing my crazy with people who don't know me and might find humor in my humility.  I have had people say, 'Oh, I read your blog, I love it!' and I think to myself, "For realz?'  

Seriously, ya'll, I never thought this blog would even get to the place where it is now...and in my head - it's in a good place....and while there is a party (can't help it) part of me that really would like to see it blow up (in a good way), I'm happy with how things are.....of course, I still dream of more, but I'll take what I have for now, cause I might be crazy but I'm not CA-RAZEE.  I thank all of you for reading and following along, I especially want thank my husband and my babies for understanding that I'm serious about my business, and I thank my mama and my grandma Dottie and besties for always reading ;) --  it means a lot and I hope to keep it going for as long as I can.  That being said.....LET'S PARTY!

I asked a couple of my party friends if they'd be so inclined as to participate in a huge giveaway this week to celebrate my bloggerversary.....and they said SHO'!  So, please check back in tomorrow to find out all the deets on who's hopping in on the bloggerversary party train and to enter to win some fab-tastic prizes!  It's good stuff, ya'll!!!!
