One year ago today, I started this little bloggity blog of mine and this is the first thing I wrote in the {about} section.
- A new decade brings new beginnings. This blog was started in January 2010. Hopefully I can keep up with my hobbies and the blog for at least a year… AT LEAST… hopefully longer. =)
I did it, friends! I have blogged for a year and hope to do so for many many more years! 🙂 Actually, blogging is what MADE me keep up with my hobbies such as crafting, sewing, photography, cooking, and decorating my home. Isn’t that nice? And now let me just take a minute of your time to be mushy here… never in a million years (err just one year) did I think my blog would grow to be what it is today. I never had good handwriting so this blog was and still is an online journal for me to post my photos and things I am working on. In my first few months of blogging, it was my real life friends (for lack of a better term) that were reading and commenting, but now, I’ve built this whole blog community, met some of you in real life and hope to meet the rest of you in real life too! I can’t even explain in words how supportive, encouraging, helpful, and sweet everyone is, am I right y’all? And although blogging may seem like a lazy activity, it’s creating blog content that keeps me motivated to try new recipes, play with my camera, and have fun with different outfit combinations! And if you are new to blogging, here are my two cents of advice…
1) Quality posts > quantity of posts but make sure to post at least a few times week so readers will keep coming back.
2) Prepare/schedule blog posts on weekends so you can spend more time reading blogs during the weekdays.
3) Visit/comment on other blogs consistently.
4) Blog because you love it and have fun! 🙂
And since I love you guys so much, I’ve put together a SUPER RAD GIVEAWAY WITH FIVE DIFFERENT WINNERS (APPROX. $112 VALUE BECAUSE IT’S 1/12)!!
***
Giveaway #1 – The Dish
My first blog post ever was based on a peanut butter cookie recipe by Bakerella, so I think it’s only fitting that I give away her latest Cake Pops Book! 🙂
***
Giveaway #2 – Flavors To Follow/Nest Designs
I totally think chalkboard decorations are so neat! I did one of my Flavors To Follow posts on chalkboard finds! So I am giving away a set of four 9″x12″ Peel and Stick Chalkboard Sheets!
***
Giveaway #3 – Picture This
I love taking pictures with my DSLR and learning the ins and outs of my camera! And I definitely think that the photo effects that come out of toy cameras are so intriguing, unexpected and beautiful!! So I’m giving away a Lomography Diana F+ Medium Format Camera or Holga 120N Casablanco Holgawood Camera (winner’s choice)!!
***
Giveaway #4 – In Style
I love fashion and I LOVE shopping! Enough said. Win a $25 gift certificate to your (the winner’s) choice of one of these fashionable shops that I have blogged about before:
Anthropologie/Spotted Moth/Modcloth/ShopRuche
***
Giveaway #5 – Sponsor Love
See all those buttons over there on the right that make my blog so pretty? I 100% whole heartedly support each and every one of them! To show my appreciation for them, I’m giving away a $25 Gift Certificate (including shipping) towards any of my sponsors’ shops! The winner is free to mix & match!

Congrats on a super successful year!!
I follow you on twitter!
Sandy, this is truly an UNBELIEVABLE giveaway!
My favorite thing about blogging is articulating my creativity in the form of inspiration images, writing out an experience with my family, my marriage, taking a moment to reflect on what made me smile that week or what I was thankful for. More concisely, every post is reflection of who I am and I’m thankful to be able to share that with readers, and I’m thankful to catalogue all of that for myself as well. Not to mention the amazing people I’ve discovered through this entire process. Like……SANDY A LA MODE!

I’ve been a blogger since 2003 and hands down, I love that I can share my faith in a free way online! Blogging allows you share whatever it is you would like to write about and no one can tell you that you can’t, or that it’s wrong. It’s yours and YOU are the author! Love it!
I follow on twitter! (@piperpost)!!! Sandy, this is an AWESOME giveaway. I’m so glad that you made it a full year, and wish you many more to come. Happy Blogiversary, my dear!
I love it when random people i don’t know comment on my blogs(: Just knowing that people read my stuff that i want to share, is nice!
I love blogging because it gives me opportunity to write and express thoughts and encourage other people. I love reading creative blogs because it helps spur on the creativity in my head. And I love looking at photog blogs because it helps me get new perspective in my own photog company.

favorite thing about blogging…it’s a wonderful place to record and keep your memories, thoughts & inspirations…a journal without actually having to write it down on with paper and pen. i was never good at that and i find that online journaling is way easier and faster.
my favorite is the legit friendships i’ve made. sometimes it’s weird talking to people i’ve never met, but i can’t deny that y’all are all there for me & such an encouragement to me daily!
follow you on twitter!

Well, I have two blogs, one personal and one make-up related. The best part about make-up related blogging is… well, I’ve just started, but the feeling that I’m not the only one who’s makeup-obsessed and a feeling that there’s somewhere to belong is priceless. About the personal blogging… it’s therapy for me, I blog about everything that’s on my mind (whether it’s a joke or just an impression or a poem of mine)… (and about reading blogs: discover the world, get to know the styles and feelings of other people, getting tips and tricks about everything, improving my English etc.)
MY favorite thing about blogging is meeting new people and sharing great ideas!

First and foremost, Happy 1st Blogiversary and here is to many more! This truly is an amazing community and blogging is one of my favorite hobbies. I have horrible handwriting too, so this really is the perfect way to keep track of special moments and milestones in life. I also cannot get over the true friendships I’ve made with some ladies I’ve never actually met.
As for the prizes, you really have outdone yourself. I haven’t made cakepops yet, but I make cake balls (same difference without the stick) around the holidays. It would be great to have Bakerlla cookbook to try new creations. I didn’t even know they made chalkboard sheets. Very cool. Photography is something I want to get my hands into. I’m dying to buy a DSLR, but we need to save up some more before we get it. Either of those toy cameras would be so fun to play with. I downloaded the Hiptasmic app on my iPhone and love using it. A gift certificate for your sponsors or the fashion gift certificate would be gone in a flash 🙂
You know I am one of you newest followers and happy to be along for the ride!
I am now following you on Twitter too (@ChicnPink).

Hi Sandy,

Best thing about blogs is having a look into other peoples lives and interests.

Best of the luck with the blog and here is to many Blog
My favorite thing about blogging is sharing I love with other people : )
hi! I always thought I would love blogging, the problem is I complicate things. So, I am trying to simplify. I do not get to blog as much as I would like, but when I do I love the thought of sharing something that really touched me with so many.
My favorite thing of blogging has to be finding people with the same interests as myself, sharing great finds, and figuring out what my true interests are! Happy 1 year!

besides being one of the first boys to comment…I love following blogs because it exposes you to the insight and intellect of friends that you may never normally see. We all have so much going on inside our heads and blogging provides a creative outlet…often the complete opposite of the buttoned up professional lives we lead.
yay thanks for such a great giveaway! i don’t have a blog- my life is not interesting enough, nor am i! However, I love reading blogs to get inspiration and motivation to live life to the fulliest 🙂 thanks
And I also follow your sweet tweets!

My favorite part of blogging is just this ~ skimming blogs, meeting new people that have stuff in common with me. I especially love being able to find women my age who also craft and sell their wares via etsy, artfire, whatever… it’s empowering to know I’m not the only one 🙂

shared on my business account
I started blogging about a year and a half before I took my college English class, but when the semester started, she told us it was required to have/keep a blog. I was thrilled! We had to blog every day, and it really helped me get into the flow of blogging, and I became much more “approachable” as a blogger. I looove blogging because I have gained sooo many new friends through it. It’s awesome <3
my favorite thing is most definitely all the friendships that I have made since i started!! especially yours!!!

My fave thing about blogging is just allowing it to take you places. I never really have a plan when I blog…I kinda just think of what I’m feeling and let my fingers type. Somehow a story comes up or a memory or some random fact. I surprise myself, for sure. =)
Great blog btw.
Following you on Twitter…follow back if you’d like.

Happy Blogiversary!!!
I love being able to look around sites like Etsy and Flickr and find things I might not otherwise have taken the time to search for. I’m just starting in the great, big world of blogging, but I’m hoping to stick with it this year, regardless of how busy I am!
Hi Sandy! What a lovely idea, I’m so happy to see your blog has been so successful for an entire year!
I love reading my favorite blogs because they truly inspire me in more ways than one. Running my little Etsy business has actually exposed me to so many of the blogs I read (including yours!) which is something I never expected. I love the feeling of community I feel jumping back and forth between Etsy, blogs + Twitter. And of course I love seeing my headbands and accessories featured on such cute blogs! All in all, I love reading my blogs because the creativity I see always seems to rub off on me. I always end up finding a fun project to try, or a new DIY website, or a recipe, or a great clothing company, anything really.
Oh, I’m not sure if we should specify which giveaway we are entering? If so, I’d love to be entered in Giveaway #3 – the camera. I’ve been dreaming of owning one of those camera for years and years. Eeeee I’m so excited! Have fun with the giveaway!
My favorite thing about blogging is definitely the wonderful people I’m able to connect with though it!

Congratulations on your blogiversary! This is such a generous giveaway!
I love to blog because it’s a nice outlet when I need to vent or just simply share my thoughts. I love reading other blogs even more. I get a lot of inspiration and wonderful ideas (for food, clothing, decorating, etc.) from other bloggers.
I also follow you on Twitter. Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I love sharing on my blog… it’s my own personal little craft journal. I know I get inspired and get the creative urge when I read other blogs such as yours and just hoping that someone out there gets inspired by my blog in some way shape or form makes it fun.

My fave thing about blogging is saying whatever I want. It’s my blog, so why not, right?
My favorite thing about blogging, truly, is the opportunity to write in a place where people are caring, supportive & appreciative – to be able to put my words to paper (errr, computer) & for others to not just listen but to LIKE them. I never began for the community, just for the outlet, but I am so pleased to have found both.
(Also: GREAT GIVEAWAYS. Pick me, pick me! My fingers are so crossed.)

I follow you! My favorite thing about blogging is the comments lol. I know that sounds bad, but really that’s what it’s all about, the interaction!
Also – just a tip with Twitter.. You don’t want your @ name first in a tweet or it won’t show up on your followers regular feed– it will just show up between you and the person who tweeted it. So, the last example is great, but I would reword the first two! 🙂

It’s nice to get other people’s opinions, people who don’t necessarily know you. And I love reading other people’s blogs for the product reviews, and just for a glimpse into other people’s lives. It can be so interesting, I love how you feel like you know some people but have actually never met!

Congratulations on one year! Yay!! I love the inspiration and community offered by blogs and bloggers–finding people that have common interests and passions.
Wow – you’ve only been blogging a year?! Love always coming here for new ideas. Keep it up.
What I love about blogging: it’s a perfect mesh of my two favorite things, writing and my family. It’s not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoy it.
I love blogging because it makes me feel like there are others out there with me. I love reading about others who don’t want to go out on New Years or who are promising to lose 20 pounds in 2011! I’m just loving blogging so far and am so glad I found your blog!
Oh my my what a lovely giveaway!
So many gorgeous things here 🙂
Congratulations on your one year blogiversary!! Woohoo!
My favorite thing about blogging has definitely got to be getting to meet all the different bloggers out there and seeing all the fun amazing things they do and just being a part of the whole blogging community 🙂
Good luck to everyone!
xoxo

i remember when you were thinking about doing a blog like this.. so exciting! 🙂
i haven’t blogged in a loooong while. i’m a busy gal these days!
Wonderful giveaway! I never win these things but it doesn’t keep me from trying. I’ve been enjoying your blog for several months now. I started a blog recently and I really enjoy the “creative outlet” aspect of it so far. If you could write a post about how you became such a successful blogger in such a short period of time, I think it would be very helpful and inspiring to as aspiring bloggers 🙂
oops, never mind my request. i see that you already offered tips on successful blogging in your most recent post! thanks for that! if you’ve got anymore nuggets of wisdom, would love to hear it!
Just found your blog…Thanks for sharing. I love all the great ideas I gather from reading great blogs like yours!
holy moly there’s a lot of stiff competition here in this giveaway! Is this the Pioneer Woman’s site and are you giving a way a Canon DSLR? 🙂 The thing I love most about blogging is getting inspired by reading other people’s blogs.
I now follow you on twitter – gladly too 🙂
congrats and happy one-year sandy a-la-mode! so proud of you!!! looking forward to seeing you this year. <3
My favorite thing about blogging is before and after pictures. I love looking at what I’ve done or what the people whose blogs I read have done. I’m a before and after junkie!

Hi Sandy! Happy blogiversary to you! Wow, can’t believe it’s already been a year…and you’ve done SUCH a great job keeping up on your blog posts. It’s definitely inspired me to keep up with mine.
I blog because it gives me a creative outlet and serves as me “escape” from the otherwise chaotic life. I love reading other blogs, like yours, because it inspires me and helps to keep my creative juices flowing.
🙂
I love writing blogs, because I get to share my life and what i’m interested in. I miss writing poems on my blog. I hope to get more personal this year. Blogging has become part of my life – Reading, writing, sharing, commenting, etc.

My absolute favourite thing about blogging is the sense of belonging and community. Sometimes I feel like such a dork saying this, but blogging has added an enormous amount of happiness to my life. <3
And I (of course) follow you on Twitter. (duh! you’re the absolute sweetest lady on my feed!)
Happy, Happy, Blogiversary, Sandy!! So happy to have met you!! I have always enjoyed writing since I was a little girl, and I love meeting new friends so blogging is a great opportunity for both. I also enjoy sharing a little bit of the world through my eyes…my vision…with my friends, customers, and new friends. What I truly love is receiving a comment or email letting me know that someone enjoyed my blog, some of my photography, or that they felt inspired in some way after their visit. That touches my heart, and that is what I truly hope for…adding a little smile to someone’s day! 🙂
Hugs!

My #1 favorite thing about blogging/reading blogs is that it’s like having a subscription to ALL your favorite magazines EVERY day!
I tweeted about your blogiversary, followed you on Twitter, and re-tweeted your tweet; that’s 3 correct?! 🙂
I tweeted about your giveaway! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the camera!!
I just started my blog so I’m updating from when my hubby and I first met up til now so that I can print it into a book and have it forever! Love that I can do that!
Once that’s all caught up I’m excited to get creative, tell funny stories, and post cute pictures 🙂 I love blogstalking as well haha!
I’m coming up on my one year soon and I feel the exact same as you! I love blogging because it allows me to do, everyday, what I I most love to do. And that’s spotting stylish items and share them with the masses! Nearly everyday I shop for myself, my readers and my clients but then I post instead of buy. You know, come to think of it, it’s kind of a cathartic way to live 🙂
Congrats on the blogiversary! It’s such an accomplishment and your second will be here soon 🙂

@sting_a_ling
I love to blog because it is a great way for me to talk about the things going on in my world. My blog and reading other blogs inspires me to explore my creative side (which I barely knew I had before).
Congrats on your blogiversary! I know it sounds like a cliche but I blog because it’s my way of getting all the crazy ideas that I have out from pinging around in my head. Plus, how many times can I share something with hubby and all he says is ‘that’s cool’?

I love reading blogs to see different websites/online shops that I wouldn’t have otherwise heard of. Great contest – thank you!
This is such an amazing giveaway!! I love blogging for so many reasons, but mainly because the blogosphere is so supportive. I’ve never met so many nice people and I have yet to encounter anything negative. I’ve been so inspired by so many different blogs and now I’m an avid baker and knitter and have dabbled into other projects that I wouldn’t have ever given thought to before. I think it’s changed my outlook on a lot of things and has made me far more creative. Gotta love that. Happy bloggie birthday!

As a fellow blogger, I know how difficult it is to build a following, and it looks like you have done an amazing job. I am loving your blog, so many creative things and i love everything you offer to your readers. As for what I get from blogging, I love that I can express myself (my blog is fashion based) and what I feel about what is going on in the fashion world, as well as share fashion news with my readers.
I’ll be sure to blog about your giveaway on my blog as well as tweet about it!
Thanks for the opp (sorry for the novel I’m writing lol) take care! : )

My blog reader is full of everything from natural living, to home decor, to personal diary-style blogs, to frugal living—and I love that each ones gives me so many ways to look at how others live, and a way to look at things from a perspective I might not otherwise have gotten to see. (Congrats on your blog-iversary, by the way!) 🙂

My favorite thing about blogging is being able to be creative. It is my space, and if people like it, they like it, if they don’t they don’t. The thing is it is part of me and can always be changing towards my preferences.

I love reading blogs for far too many reasons to list, but I’ll try: I’ve always been a bit socially awkward and although getting to know people through a screen may be a bit weird, I feel like I know everyone who I follow. I get loads of creativity and life advice and it’s just generally fun.

Dear Sandy, My congratulations again on your anniversary! You’ve taken to blogging like no one else I’ve ever seen and are destined for great things, my friend. What an amazing celebration you’ve put together with all these wonderful giveaways and discounts. Thank you!! xo – g
Cool giveaway! =) I love blogging because I’m kind of a loner (I like being one, by the way), but I like to get to know people … sounds contradictory, I know! But it’s not. It’s easier for me to meet people this way. I need to have things in common with my friends so blogs have connected me with people I share things with (taste for clothes, tea, you name it). I’ve met a few people in this medium and in person later; they’ve all become good friends of mine and we hang out on a regular basis :).

Your blog is so beautiful, fun and inspiring! I read a few In the morning when my newborn is napping. I love being inspired, challenged and having a little eye candy to start the day! Thanks for blogging! Xx
My favorite thing about blogging is being able to write. I love writing and I do not do it far enough. I also love talking to people and sharing interests/ideas through this popular growing medium.

My favorite thing about blogging is the push it gives me to take and actually go through and process my photos. Photography makes me aware of the beauty in every day life…
I moved fairly recently, so reading blogs makes me feel like I have girl friends who share their recipes, ideas, tips and projects! In real life, the best I can usually get is a phone call from a dear friend.
Wow. I sound a lot lamer than I am. I promise!
My favorite thing about blogging is that it gives me the opportunity to write and express my personality and interests, and it connects you to people who feel the same! I also feel like it drives me to do different and interesting things, just because when you do cool things, you get to blog about them!
i like how i’m not really obliged to regularly update my blog. that means less readers, but since the blog’s mostly for me to practice writing and photography, it doesn’t really matter. and i like looking at pretty pictures and beautiful words when i read other people’s blogs. like the pictures on this blog, for instance! so yeah, that’s my two cents 🙂
I have a blog myself (http://longuette.blogspot.com
) an one of the best things about blogging is making new friends from all over the world! In may I am going to meet my first blogger friends and I am sp excited!
another important thing is I can be creative as I like!
Hope I’ll be a winner!

i am thoroughly embarrassed to say i thought i already followed your blog! clearly i am silly.
my favorite thing about blogging is all of the inspiration i have received in the short time i have been doing it! and also, i feel like it makes the world a smaller place since i get to “meet” people from places all over!
i am also now following your twitter! hooray! @heyeday
How have I not commented on this yet? I think it’s because I read it when I was on my phone, and I can never seem to comment correctly from my phone. ANYWAY, happy one year of blogging! I seriously can’t believe you have only been doing this for a year, you seriously seem like a pro! Even looking back at your first few entries, it still seems like you have been doing it for a while! Guess you’re just a pro blogger! 😉
This is SUCH an amazing giveaway! You’re such a sweet & thoughtful girl!!!!!
My favourite thing about blogging is the amazing community! There are so many wonderful people and I would never have had the chance to “meet” them without blogging! So glad that I started. 🙂
I definitely follow you on twitter! 🙂
…it always says I’m posting comments too quickly, ha!
Just tweeted! 🙂

My favorite thing about blogs is peeking into someone’s life and lifestyle. I love seeing other people’s photography and their composition.
I like to display in my blog different events I go to and things I wear and buy and getting feedback on it all.
Blogging is something fairly new to me but I like reading other peoples! There always seems to be new things to learn or have an “aha” moment about aspects of others lives. Always interesting. Thanks for your blog and congratulations!
my favorite thing about blogging is the community! i feel like i have met so many wonderful friends and learned so much from following their stories.

i like blogging because my husband and I live overseas, so it’s a great way to connect with people.
I love connecting with readers…when someone comments that they agree with me or they’ve had the same thought or anything like that, it makes my day! It’s nice to know you’re “not the only one” out there, ya know?
