Three years ago on January 30 was when I nervously hit the publish button and started this blogging adventure and an adventure it has been. It started as just a creative outlet and still is, but has become so much more. I never knew I would make so many virtual friends and also some real live friends that I have been so lucky to meet. When I first started Mr. Savvy said you don't know who is really on the other end. Well, now he knows y'all really are real and he has had the pleasure of meeting one of my friends and I am sure he will meet more in the future.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following along with me on this journey.
This is one of the photos from my very first post and boy has my home gone through some changes thanks to all the inspiration from your blogs. This chest now resides next to my bed in the master bedroom. That mirror was sold and I still have most of the items on top being stored in my hoarding room. If you missed my first post check it out
here.
Right after I started blogging we got the call that our second granddaughter had been born and we made the trip to Nashville to see this little bundle.
Happy Birthday, Naomi!
Enjoy the weekend.
Happy 3rd birthday to you! It is always a pleasure to visit your lovely space in blogland. May you have many more years of happy posts :) P.S. Your granddaughter is beautiful. -Al

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful grandbaby :) Congratulations on three years blogging and the quality you always put forth. I've only been blogging 7 months now and I can already see my house beginning to change as I see what others have done and begin to experiment! I was just wondering last night if I'll have anything left to blog about once my house is all done! Thank you for sharing your life and inspiration with all of us, your readers. Many blessings to you, Patti@OldThingsNew

Happy three to your blog and your darling grand daughter! I wanted to read your first post but the link is not correct. THought you might want to know. Marcy
ReplyDeleteCongratulations dear friend. Yours was the first blog I ever read. You made it look so easy. Well, boy have I learned what work going into making it look so easy. Look at what you have accomplished!! So proud of you, and I think your readership has gone exponentially this last year. Here's to many more years, lifting my glass to you, it's a smoothie and not champagne, hope that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that it has been 3 yrs already that you've been blogging! Time sure goes by fast. That statement by "Mr. Savvy" sounds just like him too! LOL Happy Birthday to Naomi too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Savvy Southern Style.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is one of my favorites because you have so many beautiful projects and many fit in my color scheme.
I just had my 1 year anniversary and like you, I had no idea where it would take me. It has been such a fun ride. I have only met one blog friend and that is because she has a booth at my favorite local antique store. But, I have gotten ideas and inspiration from so many people. It is such a fun journey.
Kim, congratulations on three years. I clicked back to your first one and really love that chest. I have a similar one in my dining room and have been wanting to re-paint. This gives me some ideas. I am coming up on my one year and so glad that I started this journey.Your little granddaughter is precious and Happy Birthday to her..Happy Weekend..Judy
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Naomi and Happy Birthday Savvy Southern Style (one of my all time favorite blogs!)

Congratulations, Kim! It sure has been a fast three years! Thanks for all the enjoyment that you bring to blogging.
ReplyDeleteKim, I remember well when you first started your blog. I was immediately wowed by your constant stream of ideas and energy. You never cease to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your precious grand daughter.
Happy Anniversary - 3 years and so many followers! Wow, as a newbie blogger who only has 28 followers I can't imagine being where you are in 3 years - amazing! Love your blog and I'm now one of the thousands following you :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, Kim. Time flies!! Happy blog birthday! You should be so proud of what you've created.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first found your blog in September 2012, I called my husband to the computer to gawk at your "home tour" page. There were so many ideas, OF COURSE I had to keep coming back. I was a little intimidated by the caliber of decorating you exhibited, but I thought I'd link up to your party and give it a shot. Subsequently, I connected with other friends through WUW, and I've added so much inspiration to my home. So, thank you.
XO,
Meredith
Kim,

Happy Birthday! To your beautiful granddaughter and to your blog! So fun to see some pics from the early days - I love the journal we create with out blogs - so fun to go back and see where we've been. And the very best part is the friends met and made along the way.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Happy Blogversary. Love the beautiful images on your blog. I also love the idea of a hoarding room. I have to implement that.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Congratulations on celebrating your third blogging anniversary. You know, so many folks start out with great enthusiasm but within a few months they just peter off and their blogs die from neglect, but it seems they don't just disappear from the ether, they are sort of out there forever and ever. Rather disturbing, actually... Your blog has been an inspiration to me since I found it, maybe a year ago (?) I ooooh and aaaaah over your house and wonder what it would be like to live in such a place; and then I look around at my own joint and think to myself "it's not so bad, woman, get over it!" LOL! The gift that you and other bloggers of ongoing D-I-Y/design/decorating blogs have given me is the courage to try different things out around here and that it's okay to have an epic fail :) Epic fails can be fixed, regrets for never having even tried to get things together precisely the way you want -- well, those regrets can't be fixed. So, thank you very much for the inspiration, and I hope you are around at least another 30 years or so, because I intend to live at least that long and expect you to do so too, so I can read you every day.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteHappy #3! Time sure flies when you are having fun!
You are such an inspiration and mentor. Thank you!
Cheers to many more years!
All the Best,
Christine
Congrats on 3 years! I always love visiting your blog. What an amazing journey a blog can take one on...
ReplyDeleteCheers! I'm a bit of a blog lurker at times, and don't comment as much as I should, but your blog never ceases to inspire me. May the future be bright.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Kim. Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteKaren
