One year on........and they said it would'nt last!







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?

  4. 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!

  9. Happy 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.

  12. Congratulations!
    I 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Congratulations 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!
