Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

Frankly, I'm being optimistic here, because I'm coming at you live... from November, 2009. I have no idea if my little blog made it, or if it will be active, or if anyone will even still be visiting with me. I have to say, I really hope that it does.

Because this is a blog being sent to the future, so to speak, or being plucked from the past, I'll write down some of the things I hope to accomplish by October 2010, and I suppose when the time comes, we'll see just how close to the mark I make it.

1. I hope to have built up a following of at least 50 people. Currently, I'm at 15.
2. I hope to start & finish a quilt.
3. I hope to take several sewing classes, so I can have more than a basic knowledge of how to sew.
4. I hope to be happy, and loved, as I currently am.
5. I hope for a good year, above all else, for myself, my family, my friends, and anyone who stops by to read my blog.
   
6. I hope to have an epiphany along the way, and actually start writing a book- any book, so long as it's written by me.
   
7. I hope... a lot, I suppose.

So, if the blog is still here, and people are still reading it... Happy 1 year anniversary, a bit premature from my current time frame. Let's hope the year was a good one!

Posting From The Past

Last night, as I lay there sleepless once more at 2am, I typed up this post, and another couple of posts. My first post should be visible by now, and was a tutorial on making a cute stuffed snake for a Christmas gift.

My second post, however, was something that occurred to me while scheduling my first post. Blogger lets you write a post, and schedule it to be posted at any given time. In fact, when first writing the snake blog, I accidently set it to post yesterday morning, so it back dated the post. I tried to post date it, but once it's visible, that's that. I removed it and redid it, set to have posted at sometime around 9am this morning.

The second post was a Post from the Past- I wrote up a congratulatory sort of time capsule post for the blog's 1 year anniversary, in October 2010. I wrote in it some things I hope to accomplish over the year, and I am really excited to see next year just what comes true for that post.

You won't get to see it until then. By then, I'll have even forgotten it, I imagine! Or, at least, for the most part.

If you have a blog, I recommend trying something similar. Sort of a blast from the past type of post. Maybe write what your favorite song is, or your favorite movie, or what your child did to surprise you today... little things that you might otherwise not recall a year from now.

Good luck!
