Blogiversary + Giveaway (CLOSED)

It's hard to believe Hippopotamuslee has been around for three whole years! What?? I'm so happy you've stuck with me for this long, and to celebrate, I'm having my first giveaway! Yay! There are two prizes because I know this blog isn't centered on one specific topic so I want to appeal to those of you who are here for X even when I'm babbling on and on about Y.


Prize Pack for Crafty Followers:
Sew Darn Cute by Jenny Ryan, Lion Brand Bonbons Yarn in Brights, 2 1/2 yards of Iridescent Rick Rack, Extra Small Pom-Pom Makers (3/4 inch & 1 inch), Jumbo Yo-Yo Maker (3 1/2 inch), Large Yo-Yo Maker (1 4/5 inch), and 2 Fat Quarters! Plus some bonus goodies!

Prize Pack for Nail Enthusiasts:
China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Dance Baby, Sweet Hook, and Turned Up Turquoise, Sinful Colors Nail Art in Bad Chick and Love Me, Sally Girl nail polish in Glitzy, Later, and Way 2 Disco, 8 mini viles with multi-colored "caviar" beads, 8 mini viles with confetti, combination brush/dotting tool, Gem Nail Kit (240+ gems, wood stick and top coat), and a polka dot zip pouch from Forever 21! Plus some bonus goodies!

  35. I don't remember how I found your blog, but I'm glad I did. (I follow via GFC/feedly.)

    The photos on your blog are always beautiful.

    Both are awesome prize packs, but I'm more of the crafty type myself.
