How funny! I look back at all my January 1st projects and I think I must have been too busy at Christmas time to really make anything as good as I do throughout the rest of the year. Maybe that would be a good goal for next year I have a whole year to think about it.

Fun idea to post all the projects from your blogiversary. I need to check mine to see what I have shared. Congrats on 7 years! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteHappy blog-iversary!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVING all of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA huge congrats on 7 lucky years, Chickie! How time flies! Love your walk down Memory Lane. Seems like we've known each other 4ever and I'm so happy that we actually are able to meet in person now and again. Did we meet first on the Cricut message board? Love your inspiration here and fab challenges that I enter whenever possible and the cool stuff you have in your shop. Keep up the great work. I wouldn't change a thing. xxD
ReplyDeleteWow, Diana! Congratulations on your 7 years of blogging! That's an incredible accomplishment, especially nowadays! I really enjoyed seeing your old cards - I still like looking at some of my old cards for inspiration but then there are some of mine that make me cringe now - what was I thinking haha? Yours are all beautiful and would still work today - I really love the penguin!
ReplyDeleteI follow you through Blogger and have done so since June 2013. I searched my old blog posts to discover that I entered your challenge for the first time on June 24, 2013, very shortly after I started my blog on June 21, 2013. So I probably discovered your blog through Paper Playful (Feline Playful then) or someone else's blog, perhaps Crafting Vicky as she was the first blog I ever followed. I have not met you in real life but I have received some amazing prizes from you over the years - thank you so much!
Here's a link to my blog although I have not been blogging for nearly a year: http://ktdesigns2013.blogspot.ca/ . Now I post my cards on Flickr or Splitcoaststampers but I hope to revive my blog at some point. As for how often I visit your blog, it's hard to say because I'm not visiting blogs like I used to, but I enter your challenges as much as possible, daily at times.
My favourite part of your blog is the challenges and the beautiful inspiration! I enjoy your monthly linky as well as your themed Thankful Thursdays. I also love seeing any new products you have added in your store - the beautiful ribbon, the flair buttons, etc.
I don't see any ways to improve your blog - it's purrfect just the way it is, as evidenced by your 7 years of success! I've posted your giveaway on my sidebar for you. Thank you for all of the inspiration and for your generous giveaway! I wish you many more years of happy blogging!
Congrats Diana! I discovered you through the Coffee Lovers Hop! Love your shop and your ribbon is fantastic! I visit you a couple times a month probably... love to join your challenges! Thanks for all of the fun and here's to another 7!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 7 years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via Blogger. I can't recall when I started following you, but it's been several years now. I don't have a blog myself, but I do visit yours frequently! I love seeing your projects and your lovely ribbons!
Congratulations on your 7th Blogiversary!! That is so impressive. Loved seeing your New Years projects from the past. All of them are just wonderful.
ReplyDelete1. I follow you on email and also by Blogger. Maybe some other venues, besides!!
2. Linked up.
3. I probably first saw your monthly linky parties linked up to one of Karen Ladd's project entries....maybe in 2014 or 2015. Soon I was following and entering, too!! How often I visit your blog varies, but sometimes it is several times a week. I love your challenges and linky parties the most. You have one of THE best design teams anywhere in blogland and I love seeing the projects you and they have made.
As far as improvements....not sure if anyone else experiences this problem, but my computer and your blog have relationship difficulties. It is prob not anything you can change or improve, because it might be the platform you use....but my computer bumps and grinds and whirrs and complains every time I visit. I am not techno-savvy enough to know why. That's all. Otherwise, everything is great!!
4. I have posted your graphic on my blog sidebar. :)
Congratulations on your milestone achievement and thank you for these generous giveaways!!

Congrats on your 7th anniversary! It's so much fun to go back and look at your past projects and see how much you change in your style is it? I love to occasionally look back at the way I used to scrapbook and then the way I currently scrap - it has changed so much over the years as I learn new techniques and new products come out! I think I follow you through blogger, facebook, pinterest, and bloglovin. I met you via the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog and I just love seeing all the projects you post. Thank you for all the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 7 years! I met you on FCCB, and what great designs you do! I don't know how you can improve your blog-seems pretty great to me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogaversary. What fun. I follow with friends connect. Hugz
ReplyDeleteHuge congrats on 7 years, my dear friend!! I'm so lucky to have met you in blogland!! My 7 year blogaversary is in two months, and I think we've been friends about that long!! I can't remember ever blogging without you there :) It's been a blessing. I visit as often as I can and I love everything about your blog, so I can't pick a favorite...although I think I'd say it's how incredibly generous you are!! You have the most kind, giving heart, Diana. I wouldn't change a thing about your blog. Congrats again, my friend!! Here's to many more years of amazing inspiration :) Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)

Congratulations Diana! Wow, seven years and still going strong! I looked at your cards through the years and it is amazing how they have changed! The new products and die cuts make them so mondern but...there is nothing wrong with the retro!! We met when you visited my blog and invited me to enter your challenges. I do enjoy visiting and seeing all the creativity! I better get making more cards and start entering your challenges again!! I have no recommendations to improve your blog...you are doing a great job!! Wishing you many more anniversaries!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 7 years! I feel like I have known you forever. I remember talking to you on the phone when I was have a CTMH on-line party and your voice sounds just like my best friends voice, that made me like you right away!
ReplyDeleteI have two favorite things about your blog. 1. Thankful Thursdays, it reminds me how thankful I am to still be alive! 2. Whenever I have had a question, you always answer me right away! I love that.
I think I probably visit your blog 5 times a week (I don't blog on the weekends.)
Hugs & Kisses,
Chriss

A huge congrats to you on your 7th year blogaversary! I started blogging in 2011 and met you in 2012. You had commented on my blog about a project that I made for the "I Feel The Love Project" with Madison. After that I have always linked my project to your challenges/linky party.I started following you and a blog friend but it has turned out to be a beautiful friendship, which I truly appreciate. You are truly one of the most generous, beautiful and wonderful person that I have met. Thank you for your generosity. Also you have an amazing DT and they always inspire me. I would not change a thing about your blog. It is perfect the way it is.Just like you my friend!!Sending blessings and more years to com!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
Have a wonderful day,

ReplyDeleteTheresa
Well this is odd. I could swear I posted a comment yesterday but don't see it now so hope this isn't a duplicate. First of all, congrats on your 7th year of blogging! I follow you by email and google, and have been for years. Not sure when I first discovered your blog but I found a card that I entered in one of your challenges back in 2012 so it's been at least that long. I check in with you several times a week and almost always enter your challenges. Not only do I love your challenges, but your card shares and the elf antics event are another big favorite. Posted the blog giveaway on FB and am looking forward to even more years of enjoying you Diana!! Can't think of anything I would change but I have had an occasional problem with linking up a project through Mozilla Firefox. I work around it by logging in with Chrome though, so no big deal. Happy 2018!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see your cards over the years Diana, and congrats on your 7 years of blogging. I haven't even been able to get a blog together at all so I am in awe. I follow you on FB and blogger, and always try to enter your challenges. The monthly AG goes linky is a favorite because I can go with whatever I have time to make! I discovered your blog through my Mom, who is a big fan of yours and I read your blog at least once a week. My two girls keep me busy so I don't have as much time to play as I'd like but always love seeing your pretty cards. I like everything about your blog and would love to hear about how you first got into cardmaking. Shared the giveaway on FB: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.hart.5811/posts/1448815358573636?pnref=story
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 7 year Blogiversary!! I love all your cards!

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on 7 years. I met you on Fantabulous Cricut DT. While I missed the giveaway, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to CHEER you on. Like you, my blogging has been joy. When we lived in Italy and Sweden, my cricut and my blog was my outreach to friends and family. Making cards and sending them out through the Cricut Card Fairy Army allowed me to interact with people all over the world. Congrats again!! Here's to 7 more!
ReplyDeleteHello, were the results of this giveaway announced? Wondering if I missed it!
