Actually, my first day of blogging was on February 15, 2008. Not much has changed since then. Bryn has changed A LOT. The formatting of my blog changed, too, so my photos were cut-off with only 1/2 the image showing on some of them back then. I snagged this image from that month...
... and nope... that hasn't changed either. In fact, I just bought 2 new pairs of shoes recently...
I do love animal print... especially leopard print & snake skin. Crazy since I really HATE snakes.
Sooo...how about a little give-away to celebrate? I have lots of extra unused Nikki Sivils' products to share with one lucky reader...the Ellies Day Out paper collection, buttons, brads, a mini book, 4 6x6 paper pads, stickers & Breadless Tabs...
Just leave a comment on this post to be entered into the give-away. Maybe you could tell me why you read my blog... is it to see my projects or perhaps because you love to see me mention Zumba for the 500th time? LOL I get a lot of hits every day, but only a few people leave comments so I'm just curious. Curiosity killed the cat, you know, so maybe I shouldn't be curious? Hmmm.
I'll leave commenting open until this Sunday, February 5 at 7pm Central time.
And much thanks to those of you who have been visiting my blog over the years. It's been nothing but a great experience in a FUN industry and I have loved every day of it! Your comments keep me laughing, for sure!
Big hugs...
I visit your blog to see the latest trend in shoes!!! Oh and your crafting too! Love ya,
Teresa

I can't remember how I ended up here... maybe through SRM? I just liked your style of scrapbooking and writing: fun & playful goes very well with me.
Happy blogversary!

I read your blog for the creative ideas but enjoy all the stories you share. I wish I had half your style and could wear those shoes!

I started reading your blog and officially following it when I found out we both live in the same area! It has been nice to get inspiration and ideas from someone who lives near me! Contests on blotting for so long!

I started "getting to know" you on SIS, and happened upon your blog there. It's funny how we've become friends from that! I've made a few really good friends from SIS! We like to joke that we met online, and we've been together for 4 years, or whatever.
I enjoy seeing your crafty projects on here, of course, but I just read to keep up with how you're doing, too.
