Can you believe this little blog is 10 years old today! I know! It's so hard to believe that today, marks a friend to knit with's 10 year anniversary! I remember this day ten years ago so clearly. Our computer (our "office") was in the basement. Andrew, my youngest, had just started kindergarten and I felt as though I now had some to dive into a blog. Right after I put the kids on the bus, I headed down to the basement, coffee in hand, and started this blog. I was super nervous to hit publish. (I actually still get a little nervous!) I didn't have a laptop. I didn't have a DSLR. Just a little point and shoot camera and a big 'ol desktop in the basement. And, it became the beginning of my little space on the internet.
I can't even express what this blog has meant to me. And I can't even express how much I appreciate each and every visitor and comment I have received. Finding like minded people with the same interests and passions is a true gift. Blogging in the knitting community has been a complete honor.
These past few months, I have become very emotional about the passing of time. I have been so grateful that I have my blog to go back in time. If you are ever on the fence about blogging, I say DO IT!
To celebrate ten years, I'd like to offer $10.00 off your purchase of Chalk Lots Placemats. Use coupon code AFTKWis10 at checkout. And please, feel free to pass along to your friends. Chalk Lots make great holiday gifts for those who like to plan ahead! :)
I'll be back tomorrow with one of my best giveaways. Yarn, of course.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
xx, leslie
