I looked at my calendar the other day and realized it has been about a year since I first started blogging. I had a blog for awhile, but rarely posted, and was content to commment on others blogs. That was until I had a life-altering meeting of the mommy blogging minds. I wrote a lovely, flowery, deep profound post about it, but like the first 6 months or so of my blog, it was lost in a tragic blogger accident.
On that day, I met the ladies who were to become my blogging heroes. On that rainy California day (I remember THAT much of my post), I met BMC, GGC, and MIM (I think all my friends should have acronyms-Hi P, SG, MP, MoM, F!). Sassy, hip, and oh so lovely, these wonderful women inspired me to keep going with the blog, and despite being flaky, corny, goofy, dorky and oh-so-wanna-be Martha Stewart(ish), I have made some amazing friends, and have gained some incredible insight about myself, and my creativity. It IS my hope one day to show you tons of things I have made, and to sell them, give them away, and maybe inspire a timid, but eager crafty blogger the way I was by 3 spirited, inspiring mamas. Who blog. But are not mommy bloggers. I think.
In honor of my blogiversary, I will be doing a apron giveaway, but have to finish it! I will tell you it was inspired by Morgan’s Ruffled apron tutorial, so you have some idea of what it looks like! Anyone who leaves a comment this week will be eligible to win!! Thanks to everyone who has EVER commented on my little corner of the web here…you have kept me going when I wanted to throw in the towel….apron…with ruffles!

Happy Day! We arrived on the scene at about the same time. You pick the best fabrics, I love how they don’t match but do. Very nice stuff that you almost want to wear to the mall or something. Share the beauty! Happy Weekend too!
Happy Blogaversary! I’m going to have a glass wine and toast to you!
Is it too late to enter?! That apron is so cute I would even consider learning how to cook just to be able to use it.
Or maybe I could just wear it when I take the Papa Johns pizza out of the box.
We must have started right about the same time. Hard to believe it’s already been a year, huh?
