The Lady 8 Home completes one year of blogging. Woot woot!!!!! It’s been a fun journey. The work is hard, but the returns are enormous. Of course, they are not in cash. I still chew my lips when I see the server bills, and sigh over a variety of other costs. What I have earned is a lot of great blogger friends, a re-discovered passion for food, a brand new passion for Photography, lessons on food plating, and a treasure on cultural gold nuggets from around the world. It is a lot like chatting with friends – satisfying, relaxing and exciting, all at the same time!
Today, it also happens to be Mother’s Day too. So combining both these beautiful events, I am announcing a Contest/Giveaway that celebrates The Lady 8 Home – in every way 🙂
For the First Prize: $100.00 cash (Open to residents all over the world)
Make a NEW post that has the following and link it here:
1) Make a post to celebrates the Lady 8 your home – be it a Mom, a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, grandma, or even that nanny who gave you the most fuzzy memories of your childhood. Mention clearly that the post is for the Lady 8 Home anniversary contest along with my logo
2) Your post can be a dish, a craft, or simply a write-up dedicated to the person of your choice. Please include pictures. Visuals always add to the interest of a post.
3) Look through my blog posts and pick one post that you would bookmark and give reasons for your choice. This is very important requirement. Download a picture of the post, and put it up in your blog post, but please make sure to link it back to me.
