One year ago today, I published my very first blog entry. I had no idea what I was getting into at the time, and I never could have imagined that one year and 166 posts later, I’d still be writing.
A year ago today, I was completely clueless that I would begin photographing everything I did, made, cooked, cleaned, bought, thought about, or was inspired by. I had no idea that I would be photographing every bit of my life, whether exciting or mundane. I had no idea how much the phrase, “I’ll blog about that” would be ingrained into my being.
When I started blogging, I had no idea how many friends I would make in this network of creative geniuses. I could never have guessed how many sincerely nice people are out there that have similar interests as I do. I never thought about how much crafty inspiration there was to be had. I couldn’t have guessed that a year later I would have over 50 other blogs that I routinely follow.
When I started this adventure, I had no idea how time consuming and life consuming it would become.
166 posts ago, I didn’t know if I would have anything to say, if I would be at all good at writing, and I didn’t think anyone would be interested in anything I had to say.
Today, I still enjoy blogging, and am addicted to it, in fact. I find myself sitting down at the computer to catch up on my friends’ blogs, when I should be doing other things. I think I’ve gained so much more from this experience than I’ve ever given. I’m so blessed by the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve read, and the lives I’ve shared. Thank you to everyone that’s stopped by to share this journey with me. Here’s to another year.
Congrats on a year of blogging. I, like you, was amaze at how it influenced my life…both creatively and by the friends I’ve met. I wouldn’t give it up.
Here’s to many more years ;o)
I have not been reading this blog for a long time, but the time I have-I’ve enjoyed it so much. I am nowhere near my first year, but I know what you are saying with the whole blogging and picture-taking thing! It slowly gets bigger and bigger until you have your camera in one pocket and a notepad and pen in the other at all times. 😉
Congratulations on a whole year, I hope that there are many more to come!
I just saw that you have Proverbs 31:10,13 on the side of your blog, I love it! That is one of my favorite verses, though I have never seen it in that version. 🙂 I like it!

Happy Blogaversary Joanna! I too didn’t know what I was getting in too, but share your feeling of pleasure that I did join in. The blogosphere is a largely loving, supportive community – without it I’d never have ‘met’ you, and that wouldn’t be good. Here’s to many more posts.
