My Blog’s 3rd Anniversary Giveaway!

How fast time flies. SUGAR & SPICE  just turned 3 yesterday! m/

When I started my blog 3 years ago, it was just a personal diary of sorts for the kids to look back on as the years pass swiftly by. I love taking pictures & capturing “kodak” moments of our adventures & misadventures -memories that will last them a lifetime, but I didn’t have the patience (or the skill) to scrapbook. So the next best thing was to upload photos online.

I first posted albums on facebook which included funny captions here & there (OKAY! Long captions on every picture!). My FB friends actually enjoyed the captions more than the photos, lels, so I thought hmmmnnn.. I may just have a future in blogging! I really am a talker anyway. 😛

Fast forward to now, where I only had 3 readers back in 2012, I now have more than 10 at least hehe! 😉 So thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read about my family, our lives. Thank you for the comments, the emails, the friendship you have extended. Never in my dreams have I ever thought that people other than my kids would actually read my blog. And here we are.. Top 10 in the Home & Living category in 3 years. We’ve certainly come a long way, mainly because of you, my dear readers! <3

Happy Anniversary to US. This is where our friendship started!

Thank you so much CHINIE DIAZ of FAB AFTER FORTY for this beautiful, special, wonderful drawing. I am BEYOND touched that you made a doodle especially for me! <3
I was happy to have accidentally found Chinie’s blog a while back. Being the same age, I could relate to most of her thoughts & feelings.
She’s also one tough warrior, having beaten the big C. She’s one person I truly admire & look up to.

Thank you so much RICA DE JESUS of HEART-2-HEART for this lovely greeting! <3
Rica’s blog is one of my oldest & dearest favorites. I love how so unassuming & down to earth she is, given her stature & status.
I also like how she’s also so family-oriented, and would do just about anything for her loved ones.

And a pahabol christmas message too!
My yahoo account was acting up & I didn’t receive Rica’s email last christmas, so I’m posting it here along with her anniversary greeting. 🙂

I didn’t have to ask Daphne Paez twice for a message.
She readily gave me a reply & a fan sign to boot.
I really thought she was going to be a snob, but she was the exact opposite.
She was so warm & friendly. I love her even more now than I did before.
I read her blog because I like the homes & designs that she features.

Speaking of warm & friendly, I was simply blown away when GRACE BARBERS-BAJA replied to me.
Who doesn’t know THE SPOILED MUMMY & the lavish and classy parties she throws for her family & friends. <3
She puts the word “SPOILED” in a good light.
Who says mommies like us can’t have our cake & eat it too? 😉

As a small token of my BIG appreciation to you my ever dearest readers, I am giving away one (1) brand new, genuine Coach 19282 Black Patent Leather Hobo Shoulder Tote valued at over 10k. (open to provincial & international residents as well!)

  • Color: Black

    Happy Anniversary, Ms. Jane! I’ve been a silent reader for a while now. Stumbled upon your blog when I was looking for buffet reviews! 😀 Believe it or not, I back read ALL of your entries, two days straight! I’d probably be starstruck when I see you around the town (I’m a southie, too!), so don’t be surprised when you a fan girl comes up to you for a photo op one day.

    Cheers to more years of blogging!
