DAY 8 in which we celebrate 1 YEAR OF BLOGGING!

Today is The Daily Fiber's first birthday celebration.  One year ago, on a rainy Sunday morning, I sat down in front of my computer and taught myself to blog.  I was an infant blogger then; today I feel like a toddler!  And it's all good.

It's a cherry apron that I made and it's fully lined and ready to go!  Doesn't Hilary look cute in it?  You could get all retro and throw on a red or black bra under it to meet the Mister at the door!  Turn the oven off first!  Another view -  Dog-Approved! I think that this would make a wonderful hostess gift, if you could stand to give it away.

Here's the skinny - you'll need to write to me and leave a comment.  If you have a blog, I'd like to hear what you find most valuable about your blogging.  And if you don't, I'd like to hear what it is in particular that you enjoy about this blog.  I've never done this before, but I suspect that there needs to be a time frame.  I'd like to hear from you all by Friday, August 13.  Uh oh, Friday the 13th!  Maybe I'll have to pump it up and add a spooky prize as well!  
Meanwhile - thank you.  Thank you for following me and leaving your wonderful comments and including me on your journeys.  You've taught me a lot about myself and I've loved learning about you.
