Can you believe it friends? Today is my FOUR YEAR BLOGIVERSARY… or in other words my BLOG’S 4TH BIRTHDAY!!! When I first started this blog four years ago, I would have never imagined it would be at the point it is now. I have met so many wonderful and talented people, improved in my writing and photography, and I’ve been able to encourage and bless others with my thoughts and ponderings. It’s amazing to see the Lord using this blog the way He has… It’s been a place for me to glorify Him, share the love of Christ with others, and it’s opened so many doors already. I can’t wait to see what else God has in store for Practically Pink this year!
I have so much to celebrate today: 4 years of blogging, reaching 400 followers, and having the best readers I could possibly have…
Sooo, are you ready to help me celebrate??!! Let’s get this party started!
Giveaway item #1 sponsored by The Pickled Poppy![]()
One reader will win this lovely mini wallet from her Etsy shop… Isn’t it cute? :)

The winner of this giveaway will win a 8x10 or 8x12 print of their choice from this awesome Etsy shop! She has some amazing pictures in her shop, so it’s going to be a hard decision for someone… :)
Giveaway item #3 sponsored by Livy Love Designs
Diana is graciously giving away a custom state print to one of Practically Pink’s lovely readers. They will be able to pick the state, city where the heart goes over and colors. There is a color chart in the pictures of the product for that special someone to choose from in her Etsy shop. So cute!

Have any of you heard about Fair Ivy before? I just found out about them this week and I’m very impressed. You can receive a surprise package in the mail every month for a small amount of money. The package will contain something like these items below, but it’s a complete surprise every month!
One reader will win a 1-month mini surprise package delivered to their front door! All you have to do to enter this giveaway is…
{1} Go to the fair ivy website and sign up for the newsletter
and…
{2} Post a reply to on this blog post with a response to this question: “What makes you happy when you’re having a bad day? Chocolate, talking with friends, going shopping, listening to music? What is that one special thing that always puts you in a better mood?”
