Guess who's turning 1 today? The blog! I can't believe it's been a year! I'm so happy with how much my little blog has grown. I've learned a lot in the past year and I'm excited for what's in store!
In other news, I've decided to start doing a little round-up at the end of each month highlighting my favorite posts. January was a big month for me! Here goes...
I started my blog planner this month and I absolutely love it. I feel so much more organized. This photo is from my very first post where I featured a photo an hour.
My Aunt Lynnea sent me another delicious cookie recipe! I featured her first recipe, chocolate brownie cookies, almost a year ago. Both recipes are excellent.
This simple pin cushion DIY was one of my favorites this month, and it's so useful!
I did a little experimenting with my camera and got some really cool shots of my Christmas lights at the beginning of the month.
I discovered an extremely simple appetizer recipe just in time for the Super Bowl!
Valentine's Day made an appearance in January with this no-sew felt garland. It's never too early to start decorating!
My Aunt Jen sent me her spicy bloody mary recipe and I shared it over on My Girl Thursday!
Last but definitely not least, I created my first e-book this month! It covers the basics of creating a simple sidebar ad.
So there you have it... my little January round-up. Bring on the month of love!
Happy birthday to your blog! And thanks for sharing this e-book, i've been looking for a site like Issuu for a loooong time, so helpful! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! Issuu is really cool! I'm glad I could help!
