Tomorrow, our sweet little blog turns one year old, and we are planning something special to celebrate! But first, I want to take a moment to thank you (yes, you, who happened to stumble upon our little corner of the internet, and then kept coming back!). While I love blogging about the crafts and activities our family enjoys, what I really treasure are the hundreds of thoughtful emails, beautiful comments, and other wonderful blog posts we have helped to inspire.
When I see our readers doing projects they have seen here, it makes me want to jump up and down with excitement! Many of you incorporate your own little twists on the projects, which in turn, inspires me even more.
I love seeing your projects!!! Thank you for all of your kind words, support, and friendship. Thank you for taking the time to email me, leave comments, send photos, or blog about your projects. I feel like I’ve gotten to know so many new friends I haven’t even met, and for that I am so grateful.
While reflecting on this year-long blogging adventure, I thought our “About” page was insanely out-dated, so it has now been re-done and you can visit it here to learn more about our family.
Now seemed like a good time to put together a FAQ page, so if you have any questions or if there is anything else you would like to know about us, leave a comment and we’ll try to answer them!
Congrats on the great blog. Nice Collage too!
Dear Valerie,
Great. Another date I must remember. I suppose this means I should get you something frugal. How about this… PAPER CUP?!
Love,
Mark
