Celebrating My Blog Anniversary With A Giveaway!

One year ago tomorrow,  my finger was poised over the “publish” button for the first time!  I was so nervous.  What if I sounded silly, or worse, what if no one came to see me.  I pushed past those negative thoughts and pressed the key before I could change my mind.  It was painless.  And guess what?  I did get a couple of comments on that very first post.  Hey, family members count!!  I can always depend on my girls!!! 

There were many times when I wanted to throw in the towel.  In the beginning, I had a horrible time with my photographs. I am also, painfully aware that I am not a writer.

However,  I do have a passion for pretty things,  I love make-overs,  I love junking,  and I love finding new uses for old things.  That was reason enough for me to forge ahead and keep Blue Creek Home alive.

I am blessed to have met so many kind people through my blog.  I truly appreciate every one of you.

Come back tomorrow for the giveaway news!!!

Here is my first, very short, post…

 

…And here is the starburst mirror.

I still love it!
