Welcome to {wow me} wednesday!
So glad YOU are here at party #70!
Wowzers! I’m starting to feel old. ha!
Sunday I was working on our family blog, & I realized that I had just
passed an amazing {for me!} milestone! I’ve been blogging for over 5 years!
Here’s what my first blog post looked liked:
We had just moved away from our “home” state of Texas, and my sister,
Amber had encouraged me to start a blog so everyone could keep up with us.
I never knew how much I would enjoy blogging, & how much it would change my life.
Amber had encouraged me to start a blog so everyone could keep up with us.
I never knew how much I would enjoy blogging, & how much it would change my life.
The biggest blessing of blogging has been that now I have a record of our family!
Yay! Each year since 2007 I’ve turned our blog into a book.
These books are amazing & so easy to do. I blogged about it over {HERE}.
The second biggest blessing of blogging has been this little craft blog.
When I started this blog about a year & a half ago I never realized
how many amazing bloggers, readers & friends I would meet & how many
opportunities I would have to work with some amazing companies.
I love my little space on the web, & I’m so happy that
YOU are sharing this journey with me!
Thank you for all of your support & encouragement!

Cute post! I also have a family blog, separate from My Favorite Finds, and I love sharing our stories on there. I have yet to make books…..but I will someday. Thanks for hosting :).
Hi Ginger – congratulations on a very successful blog and Happy 5th Anniversary. That is very clever of you to have the books made, what a wonderful keepsake. Now I must go though your linky party and find some great projects, there is always so much to see here!

What a great milestone! I think a family blog is such a great idea (that's how I started blogging too). Thanks for the great party. Always happy to be here!
P.S. I notice we share the same wedding anniversary (although mine was in 2006). Funny. 🙂
