ABS Turns One!

Photobucket

Can you believe that today marks the one year anniversary of A Beautyful Sentiment? I sure can't! While on the one hand I feel like I haven't been blogging all that long, on the other hand it's honestly hard to imagine a time when I haven't been blogging!

Over the past 365 days of blogging I've written 717 posts, had my words reach thousands and thousands of people around the globe, and encountered some incredibly wonderful people who I consider to be not only readers but friends. I'm so grateful to all of you who've taken the time to visit my blog, to read my posts, and to comment, and I hope that you'll continue to accompany ABS as it grows in the coming years.

And what anniversary would be complete without a giveaway? Our ecoTOOLS Anniversary Giveaway Winners are:

FROSTED COUTURE from the photo entries,

and

T.R. from the non-photo entries!

Congrats ladies! Things are a little hectic for me right now so it may take a few days before I can get everything together for the prizes, but if you see this post before I e-mail you please feel free to e-mail me with your shipping info!
