Wow!!! How fast can a year go by? Super fast!! I can't believe it has been a whole year since I started this cardmaking and blog adventure! It has been so fun and I have met so many wonderful and kind people!! Thank you all so much for being so kind and supportive. I am doing a giveaway of scrap goodies to celebrate so leave a comment here telling me what you love about blogging and how long you have been doing it and I'll put your name in for the prize package. I promise the prize package will be filled with lots of goodies, so leave a comment (anytime between now and Monday) and tell your friends to come join the celebration. It is also my 99th blog post, so to commemorate my 100th post coming up I am going to donate $100 towards hygiene kits to help relief efforts around the world, including Haiti. The ladies in my church are putting these kits together and I will buy supplies with the $100. Now this is where YOU can help. For every 5 people who comment on my blog between now and my 100th post (which will be Monday) I will donate $5 more dollars (which will make one complete kit). This is an easy way you can help...just leave a comment...so please tell your friends.
Now for my good news minute...my very sweet, mega talented friend Pam Callaghan has asked me to be a featured artist on her blog: Ideas for Scrapbookers
I created the card here for this and have another project there and a post, so I would love it if you could bounce over there and take a look. You'll want to browse while you are there...major great ideas!!
Thanks for celebrating with me!!!
Hugs,
Cheryl

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS, CHERYL! AND HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!

gorgeous card. can't believe it has already been a year! Congrats! You are so sweet to do the donation.
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing Cheryl!! I am not surprised that you were chosen as a featured artist.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1 year anniversary of your blog. I started blogging about 2 1/2 years ago, but it was kind of neglected for the first 6 months and then about 2 years ago, I started to do more with it. I love blogging about paper crafts, but I have thought about starting (on my other neglected blog) to blog more about thoughts, recipes, and inspirational stories.
How kind of you to offer to donate more hygiene kits for all the comments you will receive. I will have to include it in a post to draw more people over here for you.
Hugs,
Amy ♥
Fabulous!!! Congrats on the anniversary!! Love the card and your blog header! Thanks, Dawn
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog anniversary, Cheryl! Time does fly! I've been blogging for about a year as well and the best part about it has been meeting amazing people...like you! I never knew I'd make so many friends through this world of blogging!!

Ok... I've been blogging a little over a year, and I love meeting people and discovering new techniques in this craft that I never would have discovered if I was tucked away all by myself in my studio. :)
Love, love, LOVE what you're doing with the hygiene kits! :) I'd love to donate 2 kits! I'll email you.
Happy Blogaversary, Cheryl! :)
I'm always so excited to see you have a new post on your blog. I sit with anticipation as it loads, waiting to see what new and amazing piece of art you have shared. This one is another to die for card! WOW! How do you do it?
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for your kind posts on my blog and about my Easton coming home. It made it so much fun to have you share my excitement.
What I love about blogging: people I have met like YOU! I feel a kinship with you and I have never even met you.
Happy Anniversary!
congrats sis nelson on all your success...blog, card making and scrapbooking. you are such a talented person.
ReplyDeletei have been blogging for almost two years and the bestest :) thing about blogging is not only the journaling purposes for my family, but also being able to keep up with friends and family that don't live as close.
Hi Cheryl! I just came from Ideas for Scrapbookers and am sad it took me this long to find your blog! My brother has been serving a mission in Paraguay for a little over a year - I wonder if he has met your daughter? Anyway, I've been blogging for about 9 months and have most loved meeting new people and making new friends. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Happy Anniversary! I love this card...love the hot pink polka dots!!!!
