Giveaway


Hello. I can hardly believe I've been blogging here at Just a little less for six months now and that I've posted here nearly everyday since the end of September. What's kept me going, I wonder? Your feedback and support are number one but blogging is also important to me because

it's an outlet for my creativity – writing, photography and cooking

it is an online diary/journal of daily life
it's a way of connecting with like-minded people
it's a way of giving support to others
it helps keep me focused on minimalism and simple living

I would like to celebrate with you by offering a giveaway of my copy of Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project. I enjoyed reading this book back in January and reviewed it here. If you're looking for simple ideas on how to make your life happier then this book may interest you. I like to think this book could be really helpful to someone out there interested in minimalism and making a more meaningful life not driven by consumerism. Other than looking pretty it's not very useful on my bookshelf right now. 


I would like to give my copy of this book away to one lucky reader to thank you for your support. This giveaway is open to all followers worldwide who leave a comment below - I'd love to hear from you. I will announce the winner on Thursday 11th April. 


In the meantime I'm off to the far west of Cornwall for a peaceful week with my family. I will be taking a blogging break for a week to refresh and find new inspiration. Minimalist Monday will be back on Monday 15th April but I'll be back before then. If you're new here please take a look around my archives - there's plenty of varied posts to read.


Have a Happy Easter and I look forward to catching up with you soon xo

  27. It's amazing how quickly six months slips by in Blogging World. Somehow I thought you'd been going longer, you have such a nice relaxed style of writing and your photographs are beautiful, you capture colour and mood so well.

    Happy Blogoversary :-)
