It's just amazing to me how much this little blog has grown. It just started as a little space to maybe write a few things down and it has just exploded into this "full time" job hobby. Every day, week and month I continue to have more and more fun with it. It has become a place to not only write down my thoughts but to also have fun with networking and giveaways and swaps and so on and so on.
Just for fun I thought I would throw up some old school headers!
This was my first header-
Then it went to this-
Then to this-
And then of course to the one I have now which I have stuck too because I actually still like it which is rare for me because I usually like change.
I am generally a quiet person... but one would never know that from just reading my blog. I like how it creates a place where I can just jump past the shyness and jump right into the outgoing me. I LOVE it!!
I never thought that every time I sat down for dinner or went to a family get together that I would spend half my time explaining what a link up, giveaway, blog hop, guest post, sidebar ad is... haha. I never thought that I would stay up late responding to emails or that my phone would go off constantly or that I would sit down and laugh at all the funny and witty comments my reader leave me or that I would bring my "dslr" every where and take pictures of the most random of things or that I would have a virtual assistant... HA, I am still in disbelief about that last one. I just never knew of this "blog world". I didn't even know it existed. BUT I am sure glad I found it because it has definitely brought a lot of FUN to my life.

I'm always amazed at your blog and the boom you've had! It's obvious you've got the right recipe my dear :) Loved seeing the old headers, helps us little blogs see that you didn't just wake up one morning and BAM the blog we see know existed. You've worked hard and should be so proud of it all!
I can't believe you have a Virtual Assistant either - she must be a pretty cool gal to put up with you and your shenanigans. (hehe). I love that you shared your old headers! What a great idea :) Your blog has gained the following that it has because you are such a sweet and genuine person - people love to connect with you! xo.
I really appreciate reading things like this, even though I have been blogging for a while its only since my maternity leave that I have been daring to dream about the space I want to create.
I think you deserve all the pride that comes with creating and sustaining what you have achieved! Well done and heres to what is yet to come!!

My blog is nowhere near the size of yours, but I do know what you mean about loving it and having so much fun with it! Mine is such a creative outlet for me, and something that is just mine. It's not for my kids or my husband. Everyone should have something like that in their life!
Blogging is boss!!! :) And yours is boss in itself! :) I love all of your headers !!!! How fun to look back :) The blog world has lots of love to give and it feels good to be a part of it!
Haha I love it! The progression of headers is awesome :) And what a fun BOGO sale :)
Your blog is usually one of the first I check out. Keep up the great job!
Will be buying a BOGO soon! Thanks for offering.

Isn't amazing and SO refreshing how amazingly NICE and KIND and SUPPORTIVE all the women in the blogging world are? That's been the biggest perk for me so far...

At least your looks were adorable...check out my hideous antics before I got my blissful header! HAHAH
Lots of love, Nicki G.
I love this entry! I just started blogging and am hoping for it to grow for me as well. It's already blossomed into more than I thought it could be. I love your blog, & look forward to future readings!
I'm so impressed by your blog and your growth. Way to inspire, sista!
Blogging is really interesting. I am glad I finally started one just over a year ago. I love your headers. They are beautiful. I am a new Follower of your Blog. It is great that you host a Google Friend Connect Blog Hop. Have a good day.
I love looking at my old headers. The blogs have come a long way. :)
Your old headers were really pretty! I love your layout now though, did you make it yourself?
It's fun to see how blogs change over time! I like the header you have right now too :) Once you get something that works, why change it, right? :)
New follower from the GFC hop! :)
