A Year Goes By…

ByElizabeth S.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I’m a certified over-achiever. Nice to meet you.

Well, maybe that’s the wrong way to put it.  What I’m trying to say is that I sometimes spread myself too thin.  My momma says I burn the candle at both ends.  It’s just what I do.  I always have.

But, as I round the bend on this decade of my life, I’m beginning to analyze things a little more.  Is that my age?  Is it wisdom?  Or, is it that I’m just plain tired.

I’m going with door number 3.

Today is my official “Blogiversay”.

Cake With 1 Candle Clip Art

 
According to Urban Dictionary, this means, “The yearly anniversary of someones web-log (blog)”. 
I’ve been at this blog-thing for exactly a year today.  I’ve come a LONG way in the year that we’ve been together.  I have grown so much professionally and personally over the last year and I’m amazed at the difference this year has made.

Remember Door Number 3?  Well, that door kept me from creating anything lavish to celebrate.  In all honesty, I’m just too tired to try to create something special to celebrate.

Instead, I’m offering a sale at my TPT store from now until Saturday.

And.

I’ll give away E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G in my store to someone on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m.

All you have to do leave me a comment below telling me how long you’ve been following this little ol’ blog.  I’d love to see how long you’ve been listening to me ramble.

 
Good luck!
