Looking at those stats is just insane to me! I was talking to one of my friends yesterday and she was reminiscing about how happy I was when I reached 50 GFC followers, or how excited I had been when I finally put up a Facebook page for the blog. This year has been a roller coaster complete with loop-dee-doops and loop-dee-loops. There were definitely some struggles towards the end of 2012 with school, but I'm glad I decided to take a little break and just get back in the zone. Now I'm ready for 2013 to be absolutely incredible! I'm so excited to see what's in store for A Little Shelf of Heaven this year!

To start off the celebrations, I'm going to be doing TWO giveaways! Both will be international and both will hopefully be super duper awesome!

Before I sign off, I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you! You guys have kept me going this year when I had writer's block, or school was really busy, etc. I love interacting with you guys and seeing your comments and (I'm gonna get back into this, I swear) commenting back! This first year of blogging has been great, and I can't wait for even more great years to come!

Good luck!
