It’s hard to believe that my first blog entry was a year ago today! It was very short and to the point. My 2nd post didn’t come until almost a month later and was only one sentence long! I didn’t know anything about hyperlinking or HTML coding. I didn’t know how to find products to review or giveaway. I also didn’t know the difference between Wordpress and Blogger! Haha! I actually started with Blogspot because that’s what I noticed everyone else was using and just figured that they knew what was best. lol It’s hard to believe that I’ve learned so much and done so much in just one year. Thank you to everyone who has helped me this past year! I appreciate everything everyone has done.
In just a year, this blog has gotten over 500 Google Friend Connect followers. I remember starting out and thinking that I would never get 100 followers. I didn’t believe that anyone would actually want to subscribe/follow my blog and read what I had to say. I also never dreamed that I would get over 900 followers on Twitter! Wow! I’m still amazed!
Without my readers, none of this would have been possible. I want to thank you wonderful people by having a giveaway where I’m actually giving away some prizes that I already have and that isn’t sponsored by anyone. I received a $25 H&M gift card sometime ago. However, there’s not one near me and you can’t order online (for some unknown reason). I also have 2 $25 gift cards for Safeway grocery stores! There’s also not a Safeway store near me. So…
WIN!
I’m giving:
one reader a $25 H&M gift card and
2 readers a $25 Safeway gift card
I’ve noticed that one of the biggest complaints on sweeps forums about blog giveaways is all of the extra entries. So, I’m going to try something different with this giveaway since I don’t have to have a high turn out of entries for a sponsor.
To enter: Tell me which of the gift cards you would like to win.
That’s it! No extra entries, but you can follow me on Twitter or the blog to catch more giveaways! : ) You can also like Laughing Lindsay on Facebook for updates!
Giveaway closes July 7th at 11:59 PM EST.
Good luck!
*Since I am shipping the cards, this giveaway is open only to US residents.
Disclaimer: I received nothing for posting this giveaway. This is in celebration of my 1 year blogging anniversary.
I would like the H&M gift card. No Safeways near me!

H&M hands down, no question. I haven't been shopping there in a year, and I am going into withdraw. Buying a house has taken all our spare funds, so this would be such a blessing!
