Blog-iversary GIVEAWAY!

Well... this week marks one year since I launched The Arizona Russums last summer. Micah and I had only been married for about six weeks, we were getting settled in our new AZ home {and by "settled" I mean all the boxes we still hadn't unpacked had been crammed into our disastrous guest room}, and it was time to document our adventures as we looked for a new church, made new friends, navigated our new city, and learned how to be Mr. and Mrs. Russum.

Who knew that when I started this blog a year ago it would change my whole life!? Literally. Since stumbling upon this crazy, exciting world of blogging, I have decided to change my focus in my grad school program and make blogging and studying blogging my whole career!

And today I am so excited to be hosting my first giveaway to celebrate my one year blogiversary! 

Allow me to introduce to you the cutest jewelry rack ever from the lovely Dede of Aunt Dede's Basement. This is a completely chic way to organize your necklaces. I just might have purchased one for myself...





And this one can be yours!!!



All you have to do is:
1 :: be a follower of The Arizona Russums and leave a comment

For extra entries:
2 :: visit Aunt Dede's Basement and leave a comment here telling me your favorite thing in her shop {she has adorable pot holders and aprons and, oh, that ruffled shower curtain!!!}

3 :: tweet and/or facebook about this giveaway with this post's URL

Leave a separate comment for each entry and U.S. residents only please. I will announce the winner on Friday afternoon - which is my actual blogiversary!

And if you can't wait, Aunt Dede's Basement is giving 20% off all purchases to AZ Russums customers until the end of September. Just enter BlogAnniversary at checkout!

I am a loyal follower and my favorite post of yours was "It Is Good." Marriage is a beautiful gift of God and the world we are in twists and degrades it. I loved your post.

I love the Amy Butler blue baby quilt on her website! It's WAY cuter and much more practical than the other 15 baby quilts I've received from my MIL... Sigh. ;-)

I loved your blog detailing yours and Micah's trip to San Diego. I am glad to know I'm not the only one who takes random photos on vacation in restaurants, etc. :)
