It has been just a little over one year since I published my first post here. My blogging journey thus far has been fun and rewarding to say the least and filled with some amazing highlights. Being notified that I was nominated and a finalist in the Country Living Blue Ribbon Blogger Awards was incredible in itself... to actually be chosen as the judges' pick winner, travel to New York to visit Country Living, and be included in the latest issue is still a bit of a dream.
The March issue highlights such talented bloggers, some that I had the fortune of meeting in person, and I am honored (and humbled) to have a little feature there too.
The issue also shares some of the pictures from the luncheon and you can find additional photos here on Country Living's site. I can't help but smile when I look at these pictures - it brings back such fun memories of our trip there.
Thank you, Country Living!
P.S. If you missed my post about our trip to New York City, you can find it here.

ReplyDeleteI just saw your blog listed in Country Living. Looking forward to following your adventures.
ReplyDeleteI was reading a blog today that I really enjoyed and wrote her a chatty comment. She answered me (with more chat and I love that!) and recommended your blog - as in "if you like mine, you'll LOVE hers" kind of thing. And I do love hers. And yours! Apparently you share some DNA ......... her name is Dori. Also - Congratulations on your award! This is a big deal in the blogging world and, after reading yours for more than an hour today, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
Congrats on being in the magazine again, and I TOTALLY forgot to congratulate you on your Romantic Homes magazine feature as well. You are going places, woo hoo.
