I’m a tiny bit late with this, but I just can’t pass up announcing my little blog has turned one! And, not only that, but today it passed the 100,000 visit-mark as well ~ wow! I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has stopped by, followed, commented, and cared. On 10.15.10 my first blog post stated I was, “setting some time aside for ME today and giving this blog-thing a-go… let’s see what happens.” I can’t describe how rewarding it has been to not only explore this new creative outlet for myself personally, but how incredible it is to share ideas, inspirations, and my work with others. Because of this blog, I have extended my artistic reach and have been featured on various other websites, in several boutiques, and have now sold artwork across the globe!
I feel I’ve learned a LOT, but know there is still TONS of neat web tricks and tools out there. The appearance of this site has undergone a few minor makeovers over the last year, but I have still have some big ideas brewing on how I want the layout and design to look. As soon as I finish up my masters program (in seven weeks, yay!) my hectic schedule will lighten… leaving more creative time for me! So please, continue to visit often and comment whenever you feel moved to do so!
Now… let’s discuss the fun details about this One Year Blogiversary Custom Painting Giveaway!
