Happy Blogiversary!

It's my 1-year blogiversary!

It's been a good year. I feel that I have been blessed by the blogging community. I love knowing there are so many others out there trying to make something beautiful--whether is your home, family, crafts... I'm thankful for the friends I've made, the ideas I've seen, the projects I've gotten done, all in the name of blogging.

Ok, enough of that. What I'd like to do is compare the following completely random and made-up list of typical blog posts to projects I've blogged about over the last year. I know there are a couple 'standard' things I have yet to accomplish!

1. Declare your love for spray paint.

9. Fix something using hot glue.

I did that today! Check back tomorrow for the details!

10. Make something out of a drop cloth.

I bought one yesterday and have all the plans in my head. Can't wait to get the rest of the list checked off so I can be a 'real' blogger!

Here's to another year of blogging!

  3. Congratulations on your blogiversary, Ellie! I love your Top 10 list. As I was reading down the list, I was thinking "yep, did that... yep, did that." It's amazing what blogging can inspire people to do, huh?

    Here's to another wonderful year for your blog!
