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.
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
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!
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.
Here's to the next 12 months!
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!

DeleteCongrats!! So has the time gone by really fast or does it seem like it's been a long year? Blogging is really fun, isn't it! And I loved how you thanked your family. Haha, they are the ones who have to put up with the most of our craziness-- here take a picture, oh hey, stop and do that again-- I'm always annoying my kids and husband. But I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving blogging, but seriously, my poor family do put up with quite a lot bless 'em!

ReplyDeleteCheers! Joanne What's On The List?
Congrats on your 1 year blog anniversary. I love the creative ways you said thank you. so cool. I wish you many more to come,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Trish.
DeleteHappy 1 year of blogging to you! I have great respect for craft bloggers--I like crafting but that would take a lot of mental energy to keep up with crafting so often and blog about it too!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit the blogging bit is WAY more time consuming that I ever thought it would be! I really just like making things too.
DeleteThe worst bit is when your project is all finished and you are sitting down to edit your photos and realise you have missed an important step! I tend to draw little pictures and hope that's enough!
This is an amazing milestone! Congrats to you! For my blogiversary I did a cash giveaway and it was a nice one since everyone in the world could enter. I just let them know that any fees and taxes would be on them. Paypal lets you send cash to friends and family for free so it didn't cost me to send the winner the money. :) I did kick in some cash to help towards the cash prize with my other co-hosts though. It was a lot of fun. I think what you did in this post was just fine though. Very happy for you and thank you for sharing this milestone with us at the Creative Style Linkup! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great advice Brittnei, Thank you so much. Until you try something it can be hard to even know where to start!
DeleteMaybe for my 2nd year anniversary!
