The Photo From My First Post:) |
Happy Birthday Bloom! Yesterday was my one year anniversary of blogging. I have to be honest and write that I really didn’t think that I would enjoy blogging when I started. I thought it would be a bit to personal and intimate for me but it seemed like a necessary way to promote my Etsy store. So, I committed to myself that I would blog of one full year and then evaluate my feelings on blogging. If after that period I wanted to stop, I would. Now 12 months later, here we are!
I love my little blog:) (at least 99% of the time) It is a lot of work and requires much more time than I thought it would but it is super rewarding. I love hearing the feedback from you, my AMAZING READERS. Even just looking at the number of page views I get each day is enough to warm my heart. I have learned so much and have made some great blogging friends! THANK YOU so much for following me and reading what I write. I really can’t tell you how much it means to me to have you here. I am very happy with what I’ve accomplished the past year and that wouldn’t have happened without you! (and my sweet, sweet family who now asks “Are you working?” rather than saying “Are you on the computer again!?”)
SO… Time to celebrate and what’s a birthday without presents? Actually, what’s a birthday without cake? Today, we are having a giveaway of my FAVORITE cake stand which I use at all my parties along with a set of bitty bags, straws, baking cups and mini spoons from my shop in the color of your choice. Sign up to win because you deserve it!
My feeling on blogging now? Well, I have posts planned through November so I guess that answers the question. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
XO,
Jenny

How weird, someone with the same name posts something similar to what I would say. To be honest I was a FB fan and did not realize you were not on my rss feed until this anniversary celebration, Congrats on one year. I have not had a lot of time to look around, but anything pink and girly will get my attention.

Happy Birthday Bloom!!! I can only hop that my blog is as wonderful as yours some day!!! I am pretty sure that I purchased from the shop a few months ago for a party that I did, and I loved my straws, cupcake papers and wooden spoons. My two favorite posts are the Love Bug and the Happy Birthday Hillary (Paris theme). I also really like that Back to School party and the Bee themed party. Let’s face it, I pretty much love all of them!!!
