Two Year Blogging Anniversary!!

A couple of years ago my husband suggested,
"You should write a blog."

Oh, Okay. Why not?
I quickly set one up and then basically forgot about it.

A look at my archive shows I did indeed get off to a
very slow start.

5 posts in 2007
24 posts in 2008
160 and counting for 2009!

When I started my blog I could have never imagined what a wonderful experience it would become. Thanks to each and every one of you who read my blog, are followers and subscribers and also to those of you who have become my blogging friends through your comments and emails!

I'm added the very short post I wrote two years ago below. I was probably scared to write more than this, not that it occurred to me anyone besides my husband would ever read it!

Interestingly, two years later Thomas Paul still makes my very favorite pillows...though the intro to his website that I adored is gone.

November 7th, 2007 - My First Post:



My favorite pillow at the moment is by Thomas Paul, called "Robin" in a beautiful pale yellow and white linen. It can be found at this designer's website, http://www.thomaspaul.com/

Even if you are not in the market for any home accessories it is a treat to visit this gorgeous and whimsical website!

P.S. I didn't even know what a Giveaway was back then, but I do now! So, heads up: There is still time to enter the $75 Stella & Dot Gift Certificate Giveaway over at Pk's blog Room Remix!

Two years - Wow! How time does fly. I am so glad that you are doing the blog and I look forward to each post. So my question is how many posts will there be in 2010?

Happy Anniversary!

two years ago I did'nt know what a blog was! You were the first blog I started following without becoming a follower! I found you on rate my space (www.hgtv.com) and I was hooked! I use to check your blog everyday to see if anything new had been added and if not, I would just read your old posts again to see if I missed anything! I'm so happy that you stuck with it! I enjoy your blog and I hope it continues to grow!

Happy Blogaversary!

Happy 2-year Blog Anniversary Janell. I'm with Lakeitha, finding you on ratemyspace.com and yours being the first I've followed. You've really opened my eyes to many new things in the world of interior design and more. I really admire your talents and skills and that you SHARE ideas, concepts, and items with us -- all while keeping a budget in mind! I'm so thankful. I'm such a fan. :-)

Happy Blogaversary, Janell! I know what you mean ~ I didn't put much effort into my blog until around March of this year. Looking back at my website statistics from a year ago to same time this year, visits to my website have doubled.

Hi! Janelle, Congrats like Miss L. Duncan i first saw your post at HGTV. i guess Jan'09 and i forgot the website and been trying to remember it. then finally i found it. Your the first blog i been following and i saw Miss L.D and reading her post and comment i can really relate to her. i love to design my house but dont now how to start. We bought our house 3 yrs. ago and moving here from overseas i dont have stuff brought back. meaning my house is really just furniture but now its start to get some pictures and colors althought i love beiges. You dont have any idea how you influence me i can wrote a book of everyday journal of all the things i learn from you and i'm sure your going to have a kick out of it.
Even my husband got caught up with me but his trying to leave it all to me.
He was out of town and yesterday i was on the phone with him and asking me what i want for X-mas. i have a hint its an LV purse but i told him whatever it is? just give me cash, coz i'm crazy about decorating the house i finally found my designer/ deserving designer!

More Power to your Blog!!!
