Cheers to two years! It's been two years since I started this little space (Well, Sunday it was two years but who wants to have any distractions over the holiday weekend?!). When I decided to start a blog, it started as a scrapbook for myself to document things from wedding planning, building our first home, getting married and honeymooning. The first year the blog was private and just for family and friends. Eleven months ago I opened it up to all of you unknowingly if it would succeed or not and I'm so glad I did; I've met so many wonderful people and had the best experiences. First and foremost the reason I blog has remained the same - to remember all those little life's moments.
Since the blog started it's gone from The Future Mrs. (with about 20 family/friends readers) to The New Mrs. (when it switched from private to public) to now, Christina Lea Loves (which is here to stay!). This is a fabulous little hobby, a scrapbook and so much more. I can't wait to see where the start of year three (or year two publicly) takes Christina Lea Loves. Some days I can't keep up with the responses, the emails and the time it takes to get a post together, but I just can't keep myself away.
I want to truly and sincerely thank everyone for reading - it means so much. The comments, emails and positivity that comes with each post is such a blessing. Any future topics you'd like to hear?? Be sure to let me know if anything specific comes to mind!
As a little way to say thanks and stay true to the blog's name, I've teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers to bring a giveaway of one of my favorite loves - Lilly Pulitzer treats. The goodies include a $60 gift card, a wine tote, a wine coaster and two stemless wine glasses. The giveaway will run through next Monday, December 7th. Enter via the rafflecopter below and be sure to visit all of my favorite gals by following each of their links - remember, every link is one entry closer to winning! Cheers to many more years for Christina Lea Loves and a very happy holiday season for all! Lots of luck!
