It's my ONE year blog ANNIVERSARY!!!

It is a little bit of a special day around here at Crafty Scrappy Happy.....

because it is what I consider my 1 year blog anniversary! 

And what better to do on an anniversary than

remember

and

celebrate all of the wonderful moments, crafts, friendships and connections this blog has allowed me to make!

Let me first start out by saying that if it wasn't for YOU, my wonderful friends and blog followers I would NEVER have started or continued blogging.

You are the motivation, encouragement and friendships have been and still are such a blessing to me on this blogging journey....

I am SO thankful for you!

So now, lets take a minute and reflect on where this blog started out.....

ohhhh my!  I don't know why I am so embarrassed, but I am....

do you ever look back at your projects from the past and think---what in the world was I thinking?

Wellllllll yeahhhh I am doing that with quite a few of these projects!

And then some of these I am thinking I might like to try to do again and put a new spin on them!

It is fun to see that as time progressed and I kept working on my projects they kept started to improve 

{thank goodness}

and I started making some new friends.

I linked up to a few parties.

And I was even a guest at a friends place!

Looking back at some of my first crafts,

I don't think I would really change a thing!

I know how much fun I had making them.

And how special they were to me....

It is always so important to reflect on where you started with a journey and then
note how much has changed.
I see nothing but improvement with my crafting and blogging journey!
I think it is also great to think about what I have learned through out the year.....
Some of the things that I have learned I wish I would have been better about right away....
maybe some of it will be good advice for some of you?!?!
