1st Blogiversary!

This whole thing started exactly one year ago with this little post right here. At the time, I wasn't too sure where I was going to go with it, but I knew the blog would be about our home and the projects we planned to tackle on a budget (I think that is quite obvious). Even now, a year after beginning, I still feel as if I have only begun to scratch the surface of where I want to go with this...

Over time, things have changed, our budget has expanded a bit and I've met and been inspired by a ton of other bloggers. My blog got a face lift right before I announced my decision to go back to school, and just the other week I was invited to be a part of the blogger audience at the Nate Berkus show.

I've hosted a couple of giveaways, and I have shared some of our travels with everyone. B started sharing some of his own talent and insight every so often, and I also started my first regular feature called "Dream Home". Along the way, some of you have decided I am worth coming back to visit every day or every so often and I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate it. I'm always so happy when someone let's me know that a project I have shared has inspired them, and your comments always brighten my day. You, my amazing readers, are the reason that I still make the decision to write after a long day at work, followed by house work and school work.

I'm so looking forward to what this next year will bring for myself and First Time Fancy. I've posed the question before and I will ask it again - what would you like to see more of around here, or maybe even less of? Of course, the obvious home related posts and projects will continue to exist as we continue down the path of home renovation. Are you interested in learning more about me and B? Do you want to see some guest posts? Any other specific requests that may be inspired by something I've done on the blog before, or is there something I've done that you can do without? A little constructive criticism never hurt anyone - so fire away! I'm beyond interested to hear what everyone has to say, and would greatly appreciate any input or advice you're willing to put out there.

Thanks again for reading, and I do hope that you'll stick around to see what this next year of blogging brings!

  12. First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I'd like
    to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my
    ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
    Many thanks!

  13. Young's considerable skill will be used to suck up donations.
    The most noticeable difference between the two vacuums, because of the design of the Ball vacuum,
    is the amount of pressure brought to bear on the wrist when
    maneuvering the vacuum. Not wanting to wait to have it shipped I took my
    husband to the store; Him being tight with money like he is did not want to pay the 469.

  14. I have just made applications that will instantly
    scrape applicable contents of a matter (and the topic your blog site is tailored to) with the searchengines like yahoo to prepare giant 100%
    copyscrape-passed data. You are curious to research
    it?

    Look into my web-site - Secret Survey (tumblr.com)
