Blogiversary Week! {Past, Present & Future} + Survey
** ALSO, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS FOR A Q&A VIDEO HERE **
I still can’t believe I’ve been blogging for a year. Mostly because I usually don’t stick with something for that long. I change my mind A LOT! Heck, it took me three times to get thru college. I tried a community college, an art school, and then I finally graduated from a technical college. I’m the same way with my “career”. I wanted to be a teacher, then a veterinarian, followed by a web page designer, and a real estate agent, but I’m still at a loss. So sticking with something for a year is an awesome accomplishment for myself. *pats self on back*
For the second day of celebration, I thought I’d look back at what you guys loved vs. what I loved with a little…
Don’t worry, there are only six categories, so you won’t be bored much longer. :-X
Love Day
A post all about love. It was Valentine’s Day so I recapped what I got for Travis
and had you guys help me find the original artist to the prints,
since I didn’t have any luck! He turned out to be a really nice guy,
and I ordered an original off of him, which I still need a proper frame for.
Liquid Skittles
With over 23K + Pins and 12,300 views, this was definitely the post popular.
This drink is just 1,000 views away from beating my homepage views. Crazy-town.
Bottle Cap Magnets
These were a quick & easy project that I finished for a Pinterest Challenge.
Unedited Version of Myself
This was the hardest post I’ve ever had to hit “publish” on.
It was very personal, but it’s my favorite post to date because
of the amazing feedback I received. You guys rock.
Southern Comfort Sweet Tea
This was the perfect summer drink. You can’t just have one.
Saint Patrick’s Day Wreath
I love making felt wreath’s and this one was by far my favorite to date,
closely followed by my camping wreath, but the St. Patty’s day one takes the cake.
Did any of the winners surprise you?
I’m still shocked at the way that Liquid Skittles has taken off,
especially since I was not going to post about it, since the pictures didn’t come out well.

Year two is going to be exciting! Homes, Dogs & Possibly a ring ;)
Jack Russell’s are adorable. I follow someone on Instagram called Ginny and it’s just pictures of their Jack Russell that they rescued. :)
