March 29, 2010 marks two years for my blog. And it has been a fabulous two years for me in blogland, to say the least. I can’t possibly say enough about the kind people I have had the privilege of corresponding with and the wonderful readers that fill my email in-box with joy as a result of sharing my stuff and myself on my blog. I have made some very special friendships that I am so grateful for, every day.I’ve got some fun things in store next week, including a giveaway that will be even bigger and better than last year’s -as blogged about HERE, HERE and HERE!
So, to get this party started, Amazing Bridget of Bake at 350 has baked up and decorated a gorgeous batch of JSIM birthday celebration cookies to giveaway to TWO JSIM readers! How awesome are these?! And she shows how she decorated them on her blog! THANK YOU, BRIDGET!
To enter to win one-half dozen Bake at 350/JSIM birthday cookies delivered straight to you, leave a comment on this post (with a way for me to contact you if you win,) and then pop over and check out her how-to’s on cookie decorating and please leave a nice comment for her.I am heading out of town today for a crafty retreat (just like last year, blogged about HERE and HERE) and will be back on Monday to announce the two winners of the cookies as I begin a wonderful week of blog birthday fun!
UPDATE! The winners of the cookie giveaway are Mandy, the Gourmet Mom on the Go, and Jill of Jill Ruth & Co. Congratulations ladies! And thanks to all of you that entered and for your sweet birthday wishes! There’s more fun and giveaways to come, so stay tuned!

Just popped over from Bridget's blog and I thought I was literally going to pass out when I saw YOUR INCREDIBLE GLITTER...and...BRIDGET'S ADORABLE COOKIES on the computer screen at the very same time!
Do you know how much I loved that Glitter???
And do you know how in love I am with BRIDGET!!!!!
Oh...and her cookies! I mean I have like a MAJOR crush on Bridget and her cookies!!!! ;o)

Love your site! Thanks!
I love your blog and Bakeat350 too! You are very creative friends. Please write a post on how to have a successful blog...I think only my mom reads mine. ha Happy 2nd Anniversary!
Congrats on 2 years!! I love all the hard work you put into these cookies! :)
Sure I would love to win and eat those cookies, but that is not why I am commenting. When I first opened your blog and saw the cookies, I thought you made them since you are so crafty and I thought to myself, "she is so brilliant!" And you are, even if you didn't make the cookies. They look so good. Probably a good thing there are so many comments because if I did win them, I would eat them all myself. Have a happy retreat and thanks for 2 years of great ideas!
Cute cookies and Happy 2 year blogging Anniversary (a little early)!
I knew I had seen your blog before! I bookmarked your vintage wall art from a deck of cards...love it!!
cookies are cute! Just got introduced to your blog after seeing it on Bake at 350..i love it!
