Hi everyone,  thank you so much for coming to my birthday party! Today Sparkles and Shoes is 1 year old – I can not believe it! I still remember last summer how long and hard I pondered over choosing a blog name, deciding what to write about, and wondering if anyone besides my mom would read it – now here we are, a year later. None of this could have happened without the support of all of you, so thank you to my readers and everyone else who has supported Sparkles and Shoes! To help me celebrate I have partnered up with a great group of girls for a giveaway in honor of my birthday with hundreds in ad space, hundreds in gift cards, and half a dozen other fantastic prizes. Take a look at all of the things you can win in this giveaway!

Life as I Know It Ad Space ||  Lipgloss and Crayons Ad Space || Perception is Everything Ad Space
