It seems like time does fly- because almost one year ago, April 12th to be exact, I started this blog. It’s definitely been fun and kept me well motivated to get projects done to share them with everyone. I sincerely hope you all have gotten something out of it as well, too.
Sooooo I thought it would be cool to give a little something back to everyone who’s tuned in over the past year, and maybe gain some new readers as well. So what I’d like to do is have 100 followers for Spikey Bits’ Birthday on April 12th.
Now to motivate everyone to share the blog with their friends or to just keep reading, there will be a give-away! I will be giving away a brand spanking new plastic Space Marine Venerable Dreadnought kit! All you have to do to be eligible is to be subscribed follower of Spikey Bits on April 12th 2010. I’ll roll a D100 and whomever the lucky follower is will receive the booty (so to speak). Of course if there is more than 100 followers on that day, that’s okay to. I’ll just have to figure out another way to select a winner randomly!
Well thats it. So spread the word! Hopefully together we can grow this thing into something bigger for us to all learn from, and make some new friends along the way.
