1 year Blogoversary!

Today is my one year Blogoversary!  Woo HOO!

I can honestly say that my first blog post was BORING! LOL  All it said was "under construction.....pls stand by".  My second post was much more interesting and features a rare sighting of me!  (click here to see it)

I had TONS of help from my Techno-savy friend Hayley (go visit her blog, she rocks it)! I even called her "Tech Support" for awhile!

It took awhile to learn Blogging Etiquette (what, you mean I'm supposed to comment back to people who comment to me??? LOL) but it has been a hoot!  I've 'met' loads of fun, creative ladies (and a few dudes have stopped by as well - including Tim Holtz - you can see that post HERE)!

I started the blog to share my scrappy pages with my friends and post pictures of my girls for my mom (she lives far away).  Now I want to have a year of blogging made into a book.  (which I posted about HERE). Once I do it I'll let you know how hard/easy it was etcetera!

Now for some scrappiness:

I love these cutie pictures of Serenity and Rayna in our cheap little pool!  I love owls and included one here even though he has nothing to do with swimming LOL (he is a good color combo though).
I had fun doodling on this page and I used the puffy dots from my Thickers to enhance my 'rainbow'.
I love making clusters of embellies.  Oops, that star tag is upside down!

This page was inspired by Pamela Young's page (On the Train).  The cool thing was that I saw this page in CK and thought, "hey, I follow her blog."  It's a small scrappy world after all LOL!  I actually used an embelly that I won from her blog on this page too (the polka dot paper clip).

What is your fave part of blogging?  Have you met any bloggy buddies IRL?
