Hi friends, I am so excited to be celebrating 10 years of blogging here at I’m an Organizing Junkie!! My anniversary date is May 22nd and no one is more surprised than me that I’m still here blogging about my crazy organizing passion. I’m definitely considered a Gramma in the blogging community that is for sure and I haven’t always kept up with the changing times but I love what I do and because of that I’m still here blogging away. I absolutely love helping others get organized and it just thrills me to no end when someone tells me of changes they’ve made in their life as a result of reading something I wrote. So very cool!
Thank you for being here, thank you for reading my blog and thank you for just being great supporters of my site. Now it’s time to celebrate!!
First off we need some music and right now my favorite dance song is this one below. So good!
Now for some balloons! I put on my party clothes yesterday (dress from Honeymoon Muse on Etsy), grabbed some balloons and did a fun photo shoot with my girlfriend in honor of this special occasion. Oh my did we ever laugh and laugh and laugh. It was so much fun!
I love being a goof ball!
Celebrating 10 Years of Blogging Giveaway:
Now how about a fun little giveaway? I have a sweet collection of items that I’ve been slowing buying and stashing away for awhile in anticipation of this day. These are just a few of my favorite things.
Katie Daisy is my favorite artist and there are three notebooks here that are just lovely. And how cute is that clipboard?
I love this glass water bottle with a darling little message.
The acrylic three tier file folder holder is the same type I use in my own office.
These days of the weeks file folders are perfect for in the holder.
So organized you’ll be!
I wear aprons every single day. Of course I had to include one in this giveaway. Plus I’ve added the Secrets of Getting Organized magazine for organizing tips galore!
This chalkboard menu planner is super fun!
Check out this awesome bin…perfect for so many things including maybe even makeup on your bathroom counter 🙂
Also the lucky winner will receive two list notepads and my favorite Natura dish cloth.
To enter to win this lovely assortment of gifts all you have to do is fill in the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway open to everyone. As always only the first entry task is mandatory and all the rest after that are pure bonus for you (no comment necessary but of course they are always welcome!). Giveaway ends, June 15th at 4:00 pm MT. Good luck! Please keep in mind that sometimes the Rafflecopter form takes a minute to load so if you don’t see it right away, please be patient. Thanks!

Congratulations Laura! I wouldn’t call you a Gramma in the blogging world. I view you more as an icon and legend because you started blogging even before blogging was so popular and as you stated, you do it your own way and I love that about you and your blog. You also resonate such a positive joy with every post and you are so knowledgeable when it comes to organizing. It is an honour to get to know you!
Janet says
You may love to blog about organizing but we love it more!!! It is a great service to all of us. Thank you for your great ideas. Janet
Laura Wittmann says
So nice of you to say Janet, thank you!!
