Blog birthday...giveaway day one!

Once upon a time there was a girl called Louise. Always a diary-writing, thinking, musing girl. One idle January day last winter she happened across a blog or two and decided, almost in a split second, that this was the new place for her. A quick check with her technical Godfather to find out how to do it, and Lou, Boos and Shoes was born!

Here I am a year on and two hundred and something blog posts later. Blog posts of what has been on my mind, the things of beauty that have caught my eye and the tapestry of words and images that make me Lou. I've picked up some very lovely friends along the way who do mean an awful lot to me; as strange as that may sound given that I have never even met them (bar one).

I'd be inclined to have a little blog party, but most of the people who read this live an awfully long way away. There would be a little too much travel for everyone to join me, so instead of a party I am hosting my first blog giveaway...to last all week! I must admit I've always observed blog giveaways and wondered - what is all that about? Then I won a couple and thought...ahhh-haaa, this I like!


Just a short word about shoes. Aren't these divine? Apologies, I digress...


So feel free to join in with my one year anniversary fun as you never know, you might get a scrummy treat in the post just for the mere cost of a few lines.

So...the story of Boo. My daughter, who is now nine, was and is always referred to as 'Boo'. From the day she was born. Of course, she has a real name too but for family and friends she is Boo. Then Boo 2 came along; so we have 'the Boos'. In honour, I wanted to start my blog anniversary giveaway with something 'Boo', so I am giving away gift vouchers for the gorgeous Belle and Boo shop. Think whimsical, think retro, think pretty vintage...I love their images and products, the sweetest little gift tags and magnets. Pretty framed prints.

So if you win my first giveaway of the week, I will send you:

A TWENTY FIVE POUND GIFT VOUCHER 
to spend in the Belle and Boo online shop. They ship internationally too so open to anyone...


Now, if it were me I would choose something like....

...Happy Birthday Lou, Boos and Shoes...
...some pretty rabbit gift tags...
...maybe a family tree poster...

All you have to do is become a follower of my blog Lou, Boos and Shoes and leave me a comment. I will randomly select a winner and announce shortly. Closes midnight Thursday 6th UK time.

That's it. 
Ticketyboo.

And P.S. that's not all...I will be back with more treats in a day or two...
