Milestones, Announcements, Features and a GIVEAWAY!

Pin It Now!
Wow. So much to cover today …
First: Milestones.
Today rocks.
Why?
Because Thrive just past the 200 followers mark.
So once again, a round a thank yous are in order to everyone who joined the Rock What Ya Got Club.  It has been an awesome first six weeks and I have all of you to thank for it.
Next: Announcements & Features
Thrive is on Facebook now.  Check it here.
It has been so fun to read your comments, emails and hear what you’re doing to Thrive. Reader Mackenzie, a college student and new mom, sent me these pictures of a project she made of the cutest bins for her daughter’s room out of diaper boxes.
What do you think?

She said that she wasn’t sure how it would turn out because the only cover she had for both boxes was a baby shower gift bag—one baby shower gift bag—that she would need to cut in half.
diaperbox
Ya know what? It doesn’t matter.
Thriving is about being happy in your own space with what you have.  Mackenzie’s bins are darling! She rocked what she had with an idea that I’m so copying for my kids’ toy bins.
Love it.  Thanks for sharing Mackenzie!

And now for that giveaway … (CLOSED)
I was talking to Hubs about what to do for a giveaway on our way to the store last night and he said, “You’re kidding about buying something to giveaway, right? Isn’t buying stuff against your whole philosophy?”
Good point.
Instead I’m giving away a set of these star ornaments for one lucky reader’s Christmas tree:

  18. In the next year I would love to see all sorts of ways to use "containers". I LOVE containers and it kills me to throw them away, but it's hard to store/save them when I don't have the ideas of what to do with them!
    For example: plastic frozen concentrate containers, baby food jars, formula containers, glass jars....the list could go on forever!
    I look forward to seeing what else you and others have up your sleeves!xo
