Bloggerversary Giveaway

Well, it was one year ago I decided that I wanted to experiment with blogging. Instead of doing something that directly related to my job as a educator, I chose to focus on my life away from school. I love reading pretty creative blogs, and I like doing creative projects, and taking artistic pictures, and thus "Clever Karen" was born. I didn't know if I would run out of projects to share, but 263 (!) posts later, I still am finding stuff to show to you. And it has motivated to keep using the gift of creativity with which God has blessed me. Thank you to all who have read my ramblings and have let me know that they have enjoyed having this little peak into my creative life.


In honor of my "Bloggerversary" I am going to do a little gift giveaway. I have 2 pairs of earrings that I made just for a couple of my lucky readers! One of them is quartz squares with bronze colored beads (above) and the other is fresh water pearls with tiny crystals (below).

If you are interested in having one of the pairs of earrings, just leave one little bitty comment. Yes, I know some of my friends read this, but never comment, so hopefully this will motivate you to be brave and learn to comment! Pardon the teacher in me coming out, but this is all you have to do to comment:

Scroll down to the bottom of this post where it says "comments." (There will be a number in front of word "comments.") Click on the word "comments." Another screen will open.

Type your comment in the big box on the new page. (Not the box on the left - that is just a screen shot of what will be on the new page.)

Then click on the dot next to Name/URL.
Type your name in the box by Name. First name is fine.
You don't have to put anything by URL (unless you have a website that you want me to know about).

Then click "Publish Your Comment."
The comment will be sent to me to approve. It won't appear unless I say it is ok!


On Sunday afternoon I'll do a little drawing of the names of everyone who commented and announce two winners. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone who is lurking and from those new friends I have made who regularly leave comments! Good luck!
