Missed my anniversary

Again!

It seems since this is the fifth, I would have remembered the date by now.

Seems I was very wrong. πŸ™‚

I haven’t been a very proficient writer the past couple of years but I somehow still managed to keep my blog alive and I certainly hope I will keep on doing that for quite a long time in the future as well.

As it’s my 5th blogging anniversary (or was on the 20th), I want to celebrate it by doing a little give-away.

3 lucky winners will get some Croatian chocolate and one of three of the following decants: Cuirelle, Dries Van Noten and Parfum de Therese.

You can state your preference in the comments. The draw closes Wednesday midnight.

 

P.S. And please leave a way of contacting you so I can notify the winners (sometimes winners forget to check back they won something).

      Yes, I’ve been struggling with quite a lot of work lately and then writing comes last.

      I have so many drafts of posts (when I’m in a creative phase) and then it takes forever later to finish them.

    Ines, it seems that most of the bloggers forget their anniversary if they have piles of other work to do! Don’t worry, the readers are here to check and support! Happy B-day to your blog and may all your intentions for its future come true! I don’t think that writing every day is a high proof for someone’s abilities to express anything through words! The devoted fans and friends will always visit your place and share their virtual life with you! Smile!
    I am into giveways as far as I can try something new, intriguing, challenging…I had a sniff of Frederic Malle’s scents and I prefer Cuirelle as a choice, and I really, really cannot resist a whole Dorina Ledena by Kras!!! Thank you for the chance!

      If you’re the lucky winner, I’ll be sure to put some Ledena chocolates in your package.

      Thank you for reading my blog! πŸ™‚

        Bajaderas and the chocolate dragees are best, as well! πŸ™‚ Well, I don’t eat them on a regular basis, since they are not imported here, but when I travel, I make sure to get some. And sometimes I hide the dragees from my daughter, because she makes them disappear in a flash…

    Dearest Ines, it’s no small thing to keep a blog going for years, and to make it a place where faithful readers enjoy visiting and interacting with you. You’ve done it and I hope will continue to do so. Congratulations on your 5th year anniversary!

    I usually don’t enter the drawings anymore, but I wouldn’t mind trying for a decant of Le Parfum de Therese, as I love it. Count me in, pretty please. πŸ˜‰

    I’m fairly new to the perfume blogging scene, but I enjoy your posts immensely and so many congrats on reaching your 5th year!! I’m shamelessly going to ask to be entered into the draw and equally shamelessly say I have no preferences – I’d like to try any of the 3 as I’m not familiar with them. And as for choco – well – nuff said…

    I would have passed on the draw if it was only for perfumes but chocolate… Please enter me! πŸ™‚ As to the perfumes, my first choice would be Cuirelle but I wouldn’t mind Dries Van Noten.

    Many congrats on your 5th anniversary and so sorry I am late wishing you well – I was away on the key date and not reading blogs that week. Though even for the person celebrating, it is easy to miss these things – the longer we’ve been blogging the harder it is to keep track of such things… πŸ˜‰
