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!

The Nitty-Gritty:
  1. This giveaway is a thank you to my followers, so you must follow Hippopotamuslee using Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin', e-mail, etc...
  2. Leave a comment below letting me know which prize pack you'd like to win.
  3. Good news! This giveaway is open to international readers!
  4. The giveaway will close at MIDNIGHT, Monday April 15th, 2013.
  5. Winners will be selected using RANDOM.org.
  6. I will announce the winners in a future blog post but be sure to include your e-mail address when commenting so I can contact you if you win.
  7. Only one entry per person! Good luck!!

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored giveaway and none of the items in either prize pack were provided to me. This is coming from me as a thank you to my awesome followers! I also promise to be more present in the future, promise.

    So excited about this giveaway! Choosing a pack is tough, but since your awesome nail art was what initially drew me to your blog, I'd pick the nail enthusiast pack!
    Also, I hope following through Google Reader is acceptable!

    Hello! You're on my google reader and I am de-lurking because that nail stuff looks AMAZING. I actually mostly love your food posts, but I imagine it would be a bit difficult to send Arepas in the post...

    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.

    Congrats on your blogiversary! I'm so envious of your beautiful nails, but the prize would be wasted on me and my horrible hands. And I have more than enough craftiness! Send the prize elsewhere, I just wanted to say hello!
