Ok - no one said that but I was certainly thinking it when I started my blogging journey. I kind of thought that I would probably do a couple of posts and then lose interest.....how wrong was I?!
I've just realised that I have been blogging for 1 year. It crept up rather quickly. Before I started I had only recently even heard about blogs. I was introduced through a very lovely friend by reading her gorgeous blog - and from there I discovered others. Then on our move to the country I thought it would be the perfect time to give it a go. I registered the name in March and then finally hit the publish button in September 2012.
And I must say that I am well and truly hooked. I had no idea how much I would love it. The surprise of online friendships made from shared interests. The joy of finding so many like minded people online who share the same loves and likes.
It has for me also made my time of being a stay at home mum that little more special. Finding magic in the everyday. The mundane.
So to my readers, thank you! Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Thank you for your encouragement and always kind words.
I have enjoyed this journey so much and look forward to saying thank you again in another years time.
So tell me, how long have you been blogging? Why did you start? Any surprises along the way?
Congratulations on your blogging milestone. I had not realised that you started blogging nearly at the same time as me! I love your blog and look forward to reading more of your stories.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary lady!!! I was just thinking about how nice it is to connect with like minded people! What a gift it is!!! Here is to another year! All the best friend!
ReplyDeleteCongrats that is quite a milestone. Heres to many more years!
ReplyDeleteI was a blog reader, big time until one day i thought 'i could do this' and dared to press publish!
Yay for you - congrats! I've been blogging for just over two years. It started (and has evolved a lot since!) as a tool to help deal with my depression. Finding happy in the everyday little things. I've made many friends and connections and have loved my journey! yay for you - hope you keep going an enjoy it for many more years!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I love making friends through blogging...and I really enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy bloggy birthday!! I had no idea your blog was only 1 year old, it is great and you have done a great job. Love reading what you have to say, and I am looking forward to the next year. I'm only in my third month of blogging, but I am loving it too and loving learning about blogging from people like you! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations lovely Elaina :) It has been a real treat to come along for the ride! Here's for many more bloggy years to come! I have to agree... It is kind of addictive :) and the support you receive so over whelming at times! You truly have done a wonderful job.

Congratulations beautiful lady. What an incredible year you've had! I've loved every moment of following along with your journey x
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, that's wonderful. It's been nice to get to know you, even though you live on the other side of the world! I've been blogging for almost two years and started because none of my friends were crafty and I really wanted to share my love of home and making things with like-minded people. But the best thing has been the connections and friendships with others.

ReplyDeleteOh congratulations on your 1 year bog anniversary.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a wonderful space here. x
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI started four years ago next month. I was living in Australia and had no crafty friends at the time so wanted to share what I was making with like minded people.
Congratulations on your blogging milestone. I always enjoy catching up on what's been happening over your way. My blogging anniversary is in October... it will be four years since I first hit publish. Like you, I treasure having 'met' so many like minded souls through blogging. I look forward to following more of your lovely posts over the next year xx
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary!!! :-)

Congratulations on one year as a blogger. I have only been blogging since May 2013 but have been a blog stalker for about 5 years. I love finding people like me who cook, read, garden and craft all over the world.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogiversary (I hate that word)! I've been blogging for just over 2 years on my current blog and did a year before that on another blog with a friend. I've made some new and very close friends from blogging which is fantastic. I also love that it pushes me to keep creating!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to "A little bit country" ! How exciting, Elaina. I didn't realise you'd been at it just a year, clearly it comes very naturally to you! It's been wonderful connecting with you, thanks for being so generous and lovely. Belinda x
