16 Black and White Obsession’s 100th Blog Post

I am thrilled to introduce the 100^th blog post since starting Black and White Obsession back in February of 2011. Although the blog was on hold for quite some time, bringing it back to life since December 2012 has been quite a remarkable journey.  This post is jam packed with so many goodies *cough|freebie and a giveaway|*cough. So hold on to your pants folks and let’s get this party started!

For those of you interested in specific things (*cough freebies and giveaways cough*) feel free to scroll to your favorite section.

Thanks | Freebie | Giveaway

Sections are divided off by this line break:

Thank You!

I wanted to start off by extending a big thank you to family, friends, new blog friends, and regular visitors for your generous support! Comments, texts, emails, social media shout outs really make my day each and every one!

To honor of this big event I’d like to start off with a few awards, and to respect their privacy their initials are used.

CK comes in 1^st and shortly behind is MS.

P.S. Comments are probably the best thing in the world. Who knows, maybe during the next milestone (say 1 year or something) you could acquire this incredible status!

CK dang girl you really know how to share the love!

DC man the dedication you showed during the failed yet exciting Goodwill Upcycle Contest. SK is a close runner up, thanks girl!

Hands down my brother blogger from another mother Christina Bailey from Homemade Ocean!

JF, CR, TS, JP, MC-L, and RW have a six-way tie for silent support. Silent as in-person, text, emails, etc for all those times when I randomly ask for advice. Really, for all the encouragement and support. I'm sure there's many more I'm forgetting, but maybe ya'll are a bit too silent.

Last but not least:

I think it's pretty self-explanatory who this award is going to- the BEAU! That boy I tell ya, he is an angel and I’m so grateful for that gorgeous Memorial Day weekend (when we first met). He’s made a ton of sacrifices and continues to let me follow my dreams. I am forever grateful!

Desktop Wallpaper Freebie

Do you have troubles keeping your desktop or even your files organized? I know I did. That’s where this desktop background comes into play. It’s super easy to drag and drop files into each category.

The original inspiration came from this awesome contest. This desktop background has been a lifesaver for me since December 2011 and has gone through many changes. The most recent was the addition of the quote from an amazing friend of mine (yes he’s lucky enough to have DC as his initials!).

Since it recently went through its final round of changes (well for now) I thought I’d extend it to my readers:

Download sizes: 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1366x768 | 1600x1200 | 1680x1050 | 2560x1440

One of my favorite blogs, Jen from IHeartOganizing beat me to the punch when she posted her neatly organized desktop freebie as well. You're welcome, now you have choices.
