Singing the "Happy Anniversary" song... a year ago yesterday I started blogging!
I've been amazed how many people I've met (virtually and in person) as a result. It staggers my mind to see visitors from more than 70 countries. I thank you so much for taking the time to visit so often and for all the encouragement I've received here in BlogLand.
As I was looking back on my year in photos, I decided to repost some of my favorites. I ended up going with a Top 10 list, like a lot of people did at the end of last year. Here they are:
Still with me? Thanks! Just leave a comment and become a follower if you're not already. That's it! You'll be in the running to win one of these two fantastic books by Tim Holtz:
Distressables, and Distressables 2! There will be TWO winners, and I'll ship anywhere. These books from Tim's early days are chock full of great ideas. Winners will be announced one week from today on Monday, February 6th.
Thanks so much for your visits and encouraging words. Have a wonderful week!

HAPPY BLOGEVERSARY!!!!
Isn't it the most special place?
You have brought to much joy and inspiration to the friends of your blog. I am so lucky to count you as a blogging/art friend.
A fabulous giveaway. Well I know that lightening cannot possibly strike twice so there is no way I could win one of those books (again, neither of which I already own) but please add my name to the hat.
