It’s so hard to believe how far I’ve come this year. I started the blog in February and slowly learned my way around the blogging sphere. Which, for the record, is definitely not an easy task! But I did it. I ‘opened to the public’ in June.
It’s been a great year. I’m amazed at what I’ve learned. I’m amazed at how many people have stopped by to visit. And I’m amazed at your great encouragement and support. I couldn’t do it without you!
