1 Year Blogiversary

My 1st Blogiversary

I can hardly believe that this week it's a whole year since I took the plunge and pressed that Publish button.

I've been wondering what to do to celebrate. I even googled "Celebrating my Blogiversary" to get ideas. (and my phone auto corrected to "Celebrating my Block Eraser" ????? really?)

  • Should I pass on all the bloggy wisdom I've learn't in the last year? Most of the technical stuff is on my Blogging Stuff Pinterest board, and really I still feel like I'm swimming in custard half the time! I'm not really the best person to be giving advice. Apart from "Be Yourself" and "Enjoy" I don't know what else I could say.

  • Should I do a give-away? Hummm, what about international postage costs? A lot of you lovely readers are not in the UK.

  • Should I share my most popular posts? Just check out the sidebar - they are all there!

  • Should I share 365 facts about myself? That would probably be way too much information and besides a look at my pinterest boards probably says more about me than anything else!

So instead, I've decided to just thank all the people who have helped me.

papercut thanks

First my gorgeous family.

They've put up with me photographing everything I do. They've taken photos of me and for me. They let me take pictures of them modelling the things I've made. They eat weird meals at weird times because I've got carried away with something else (sometimes even slightly burnt food - honestly honey, it's supposed to be crispy!) usually eaten off trays as I've got my latest project spread out all over the table. They give me blogging/craft related presents. I hog the computer, I hog the camera and they hardly ever moan. Love you guys x

button thanks

Next The Craft Blogging Community:

What a lovely bunch of people you all are! I've had so much help and advice from other bloggers. I don't know if all bloggers are like this but craft bloggers are so generous with their support. They follow you on a whole host of social medias, they tweet, Google+, stumble and pin the heck out of your projects. Thank you so much if you have done any of the above!

scrabble thanks

Next the inspirational women in my life who are no longer with us:

The whole reason I starting this in the first place, you can read about them here

yarn thanks

Finally You:

You are here, reading my post. Wowza, that's really cool. Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully you will have a nosey round and be inspired to try a craft or two, maybe you will even stop by again another time.

Here's to the next 12 months!
