This past December Sober Julie Doing Life celebrated it’s 1st Blogiversary.
I do love a good celebration and so I began what would be a month of giveaways from fantastic companies! I had never been a giveaway blog but if I could give back to my readers I wanted to. The following companies were kind enough to participate in the Blogiversary Celebration by providing giveaway products:
IronKids Gummies & Adult Essentials Gummies Vitamins
I was fortunate enough to get some amazing writers to guest post, thank you so much to my friends:
Nicole – By Word of Mouth Musings
Heather – The Extraordinary Ordinary
Alexandra – Good Day Regular People
As a final hurrah on December 3rd I held a #Blogiversary TweetUp for any and all of my blogging friends who could attend.
I began planning this on short notice and I was so grateful when Alice Fazooli’s in Vaughan kindly offered to host the event!!!
This was truly a big deal, have you ever been to Alice Fazooli’s??
The atmosphere is beautiful and the food is to-die-for!!!!
Arriving on the day of the event I was met by Christian, who is an amazing gentleman to work with! He truly made throwing an event a breeze. You can find Christian on Twitter as @FazooliBarMan.
Some wonderful companies jumped on board for the Blogiversary Tweet Up and provided some awesome prizes.
Thank you to
IronKids Gummies & Adult Essentials Gummies Vitamins
I was concerned they wouldn’t fit on one table!
As I said, the atmosphere was beautiful, the staff welcoming and the food was delicious and Alice Fazooli’s was so much more generous than I had expected!
I was touched by my friends who joined me in celebrating, having children with us all just seemed to round it out properly. I didn’t manage to get a good shot of all of the people at the Blogiversary but here are a few to give an idea….
Do you see what I mean about all of that food!
In the end I felt we did a fantastic job of partying for a month, there was such a huge showing of support my heart was full.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog……I cannot wait to see what 2012 will bring!
