My One Year Blogoversary: 10 Favorite Posts

On the 10th of each month I am participating in Shimelle Laine’s 10 Things.

Today is my blog’s one year anniversary. I thought I would share 10 of my favorite posts from the last year. (They are numbered but are in no particular order.)

One
42 Posts from the Dissertation On August 17, I had published 42 posts from my dissertation. I still can’t believe that I have written this many and then some posts from my project. I probably have at least another year’s worth of weekly posts from the project.

Two
Lain Ehmann Talks about Guilt-Free Scrapbooking Lain was my first guest poster. I was nervous about asking her, but I felt like she had a similar outlook on scrapbooking as me and would be a good fit.

Three
10 Behind the Scenes Details about my Study on Scrapbooking I had a lot of fun writing this post. I got to share the details that you usually don’t talk about and no one ever asks about.

Four
My Scrapbook on the Road is Finished! This was a project spanning several weeks. It was a lot of work chronicling the project while trying to complete it. Ali Edwards was kind enough to donate a “seat” in her class to one of my readers.

Five
Minimalist Scrapbooking In this post, I kicked off my minimalist scrapbooking project. My favorite posts in this series are my monthly reports on how much I spend on scrapbooking each month. I don’t budget for scrapbooking, but having this series has definitely made me more cognizant of how much I spend on the hobby and it has really forced me to use supplies I would have just ignored.

Six
Books & Blogs: Scrapbook Workshop This has got to be my favorite Books & Blog post. I’ve had mixed feelings about this series. I know why I do it, but have been disappointed in a few purchases to the point that I had to take a two month break from the series. This book, however, was awesome and really renewed my faith that there can be really top-notch scrapbook idea books published.

Seven
In Case You Haven’t Heard…My Appearance on Paperclipping Roundtable This post is rather boring, but I still can’t believe I was invited to be on the Paperclipping Roundtable.

Eight
Alphanumeric Blog Hop This was the first time I participated in a blog hop. It was a lot of fun to join in a blog hop. I think every blogger should join a blog hop at least once.

Nine
A Happiness Blog Hop I decided to host my own blog hop about my Scrap Happy Project series. It has since become a monthly feature. I am so happy to have found some great regular participants of this hop.

Ten
A Project to Recap Your Summer This is my first guest post on another site. Jennifer is one of the first scrappy bloggers I’ve connected with online and only scrappy blogger I’ve connected with in-person. Come to find out we only live about 45 minutes from each other. When I saw she was looking for guest bloggers to write during her maternity leave, I jumped at the chance.
