1 Year Blogoversary!!!!

Last week was a little crazy and I completely missed my blogoversary. I guess celebrating it a few days late is still okay!

First, I want to thank all of you who have stopped by my blog this past year to see what I've been up to. It still amazes me that people actually read what I write! I also want to say a very special thank you to all of you who take the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate each and every comment and vow, this year, to respond to many, if not all of them. The most rewarding part to having this blog is getting to meet all of you, especially those of you who are international. I never would've had that chance except through this blog.

Crafty Carolinagirl has been a huge learning experience for me. Since it began, I have tried a lot different ideas, many of them complete failures. But, I think I finally have a grasp on what I want this blog to be all about. I really want this blog to be primarily about crafts and diy projects. Having said that, there will no longer be weekly posts and no more retro rewinds. I really enjoyed doing the retro rewinds, but I have found it too hard to keep up with a weekly post. I am contemplating doing a new version of it when my retro Etsy store, Material Girl 80s, opens in a few months, but I am not 100% sure about that.

I also don't know exactly how many posts I will write a week. Crafts by Alice is taking up an enormous amount of my time, and now with the second store opening in a few months it is going to be very difficult to blog as much as I would like. I do know that there will be at least one post a week. We'll see if I can do more than that as time goes on.

I also hope to do some tutorials and even some free patterns this year. I have a few tutorials in the works that will hopefully benefit some of you.

Lastly, and most importantly, the random number generator chose a winner for my giveaway. I would have had Drusilla pick the winner, but she ate the piece of paper last time! Anyway, the winner is. . . Colleen (Silly Panda).

Yea, Colleen!!!! I'll be emailing you for your mailing info.

Thanks to everyone who entered. I wish I could send all of you something! Stay tuned though, I am working on a free pattern and tutorial as a thank you to everyone. Cheers!!!
