One Year Anniversary
August 10, 2019
Good Morning my blogging friends! Today I'm celebrating the One Year Anniversary of starting my blog!! I truly can't believe that one year has passed. Somedays I wondered if anyone was reading or following along... I am so Thankful for each and everyone of you who have visited, left a comment, sent an email or offered a little support and encouragement. I Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
This past year has been a great one for me and my crafting, but also for my family. I would like to especially thank Annette Allen from My Clever Creations. She was the owner of Drive By Crafts and the person who helped me get my blog started in the very beginning. There are also numerous other friends, that I have made, that continue to help me along the way. I Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
I truly can't believe that I have and continue to be on some Amazing Design Team with the most kind and generous companies. I am proud of myself for sticking with this and making it work...the hard work has definitely paid off. Thank you to all of the companies that have sent me products and crafting supplies to use and promote. I Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
I also want to Thank my family. Both of my girls have helped me with my blog and answered a thousand questions when I can't figure something "technical" out. We are all doing well, happy and healthy. Meredith graduated from Georgetown University in May. She is living in DC and working at a job she loves. Morgan finished her first year at Gonzaga University in Spokane and will be heading back to school in a week. Ric and I both miss our girls like crazy, but have also enjoyed being "empty-nesters". We have been able to travel a lot this past year (sometimes for work and sometimes just for fun) and overall just enjoy life. I Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
So we can't have an Anniversary Celebration without a Giveaway! I will do a drawing next Wednesday, August 14 at noon. All you have to do is leave a comment right here on this post and I will pick a random winner to receive a padded envelope full of crafty supplies!! (Some new and some gently used, though all in great usable condition) I am sorry, but at this time my Giveaway is only for US residents.
Please leave a comment to be entered into my drawing. It is just a small way that I am able to say Thank You!
Thanks again to each and every one of you!! I truly appreciate each of you!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. And thank you for a fun giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the anniversary!!! I've had my blog for several years, and I *know* I'm blogging to no one! LOL Aside from the obligatory challenge blog DT members acknowledging my entry, all is quiet on my little piece of the internet. I wanted to ask you how aggressively you post on social media, and which you feel helped get you recognized? Did you have to apply to a bunch of DTs before you got accepted? Happy for you and the success you've had!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen. I typically don't get any comments on my blog posts either. Though I am guilty of reading a lot of blogs and not commenting too...I guess I should work on that. I have a very active Instagram account. I try and post a card or a project most days. I definitely feel that has been very helpful. I had an Instagram account (just for card making) before I had a blog. I also have a private Instagram account for my family (more personal). My Facebook account is more personal too, I don't share cards there. I applied to be on the Drive By Crafts DT and Butterfly Reflections, Ink. The company DT (Pretty Pink Posh, Pink and Main, Technique Tuesday, etc) reached out to me. I hope that helps and please feel free to ask any other questions you might have...I am not an "expert" by any means but I am happy to help. Thank you!!
DeleteHappy Anniversary! Congratulations! Love seeing your different techniques.
ReplyDeleteWell a drawing on my birthday? I wonder if that increase my chances to win, LOL! Thank you for all the creativity you share with us on your blog and in our FB group.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Dana, on your first anniversary of blogging! I thoroughly enjoy seeing your beautiful and colorful creations but mostly view them on IG just because I can't comment from my iPad. You are SO faithful in creating, posting and commenting to others, which tells me you're an excellent time manager. : )
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kathy!! I know, I don't know why the iPad doesn't allow for comments on a blog post...it is so frustrating! I am glad you took the time to comment though!! I appreciate it your kindness!!
DeleteCongrats on one year! Love your cards (:
