Two Years of Blogging and a Giveaway

Hey all, its my two year blogoversery.  I've had a good year here, Gothridge Manor has a fresh coat of paint, the Newbie Blogger Award has been going well, I've got nearly 200 followers, published my first adventure, and have made a lot of blog friends.  Strike that, it hasn't been a good year, it's been a great year.  Not of least, I got my wife Ivy (Happy Whisk) into blogging and she has become quite popular.  It's been fun watching her get excited about posting and comments. 

Anyways, I thought I would celebrate by giving away something.  Its a thing I do.  On my birthday I always give one present.  Not sure why just sort of always done it.  So for my two year blogoversery I would like to give away two of Rob Conley's Blackmarsh books.  No not the free PDF smart guy.  Two print copies, one for each year.

Now you're going to have to do something to be entered.  All you need to do is leave a comment.  Even just a hello will do.  So leave a comment, I'll let people enter until Friday then I'll roll twice and those two entries will win.  And please one entry per person. 

Thanks to all of you who stop on by and have made this year a great one.

    Well done on two years of inspiring blogging and thanks for being a breath of fresh air in the scene (both of you).

    (Disregard me for the competition though Tim. As a BHP staffer I'll end up with a complimentary copy.)

    Congratulations on two years!

    As for giving a gift on your own birthday, do you happen to have any hobbits hidden in your family tree?

    Love the blog, and the Happy Whisk is wicked awesome too. Congrats on the two years. Blogging can be a time consuming thing thats under appreciated unless you run one yourself. Oh, and I think you invented a new word there, better get that one into the urban dictionary stat!

    Congrats on the 2 years of game blogging!

    I like your running total and links to the past year's worth of game purchases. It is interesting and helpful to see what you choose to purchase or download for free.

    Congrats on the blogging, Tim. But I am moving to a pretty much PDF only lifestyle, so don't enter me into the contest. Just wanted to give you a thumbs up.

    Looks like I have 30 bloggers signed up so far, excluding those who wished to be and my mom. I'll keep letting people sign up until Friday, then I'll create a Random Wandering Blogger Chart and roll. Twice and hope the international fees are not too outrageous.

    Thanks everyone for the response. It's very cool and I do appreciate all the great words.

    Now I am off to find something to amuse myself. If it ends up gaming related you can bet I'll be blogging about it soon.
