Today is my 4 year blogging anniversary!!! I can't believe how fast it went and how much bigger blogging has become in the last 4 years. Just 4 short years ago, I had to explain to so many people what a blog was and now it seems everyone has one! My apartment has changed so much in 4 years which has all been chronicled here! It's been a really fun 4 years!I was very honored to be asked to do a guest post over at Lookiloos! You may remember Lookiloos...they did a post on me and my blog and it was featured in the Home & Garden section of the San Jose Mercury News last February! That was one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me! The article I did today for Lookiloos was a mirror makeover project that I showed here awhile back . I rewrote it a little for Lookiloos. Just click here to see it! 
GORGEOUS TRAY, LOVE THE CANDLES AND SHELLS!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 4th year Blogging. I love reading your blog and all the wonderful decoration tips. I looked the mirror that you redid and it was just gorgeous. I especially appreciated the tip of priming first since I have always just spray painted directly on the object and not gotten good results. I will definitely buy some primer now. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,

Hi Ms. Cindy,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to congratulate you on the 4 years and to let you know that I really didn't know anything about blogging until I came across yours. Believe it or not, yours was the blog that introduced me to the world of blogging, and it was also the encouragement to begin mines. Thank you and congrats again!

Hi cindy,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 4 yrs. of blogging. glad you stayed with it or I would have never gotten to enjoy your blog so much. Liked the
diy mirror post too. It looked great. Didn't seem like it would be
too hard either, especially since I have used rub and buff before.
thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us.
Blessings to you hon,
Nellie

Cindy - Congratulations on your anniversary. You spoke of how much your apartment has changed over the 4 years - would you show us some pictures? I "met" you and was introduced to blogging when you were on most viewed rate my space. I love your home - especially the garden. My home is "unfinished" - I look at rate my space for inspiration - and sometimes get so drug down by the low rated rooms - I need to perk myself up and know I can go to Cindys place for real inspiration. Thank you for all you share. I don't know where you find time for all you do!!
ReplyDeleteJanet
Hi Cindy. Congratulations on 4 years of blogging! I started blogging in 2005, too, but in the month of August and using a different blog host. I've not been as consistent as you, until the past year. Love that all the changes in your home are documented. I've often thought of blogging as scrapbooking online! ~Arleen
ReplyDeleteCindy, Congratulations on 4 years! I can't remember how I discovered your blog but I'm thankful I did. Your blog is the first one I check each night and I'm always inspired by you. Thanks for all your efforts, I enjoy your blog so much! Hugs, Mary
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 4 yrs. I wish I had found you 4 yrs. ago instead of just a few months. Yours is one of my favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to your mirror technique. I have an old one I've been wanting to do black. That rub thing will just make it.
