My 1st blogiversary

One year ago today I wrote this; my first ever blog entry. I've been a dedicated blogger ever since. And I've blogged every single day for the last six months (I'll do almost anything for chocolate chips). I've enjoyed writing about life and sharing my photos.

SO...to celebrate my happy blogiversary, I'm going to print out all the comments (hint, hint) left on this week's entries (4/30 through 5/6). I will pick one and the winner gets an EP care package which will surely include some photocards, treats and who knows what else!

Thank you blog fans!!!

Happy Blogiversary!!! I would LOVE an ep care package! I'm glad that I can have a daily dose of ep since I miss being close to the REAL ep! How is your training going? When is the race? Have a happy May.

Greetings, Ellen!
You don't know me but I have been reading your blog for months now. I haven't posted a comment because I am a stranger to you and don't know blog etiquette or whether one needs an invitation to post a comment on someone else's blog. But I figure that that HINT HINT could possibly be construed as permission for me to comment? I apologize for any etiquette violations I may be making. I'm still pretty new to blogging. I mostly come to your blog to look at your pictures. You take beautiful photos with fun points of view. I believe I'll shout now: I LOVE YOUR PHOTOS! I also love your notes. Perhaps you should consider writing. You turn a phrase very nicely. I love that you never miss a day, even when your computer crashed! Wow! That's dedication. Coming to your blog is like getting to live in another state and see what it is like. Thanks for sharing with me. And you don't need to put me in the drawing. I just wanted to say hello and thought the timing was good since the "hint hint" was nudging me.
Nice to meet you,
Wendy

I feel kind of like Wendy. Most of my family is in love with your blog and we talk about it from time to time (My sister is Melanie Hunsaker). We have met before but never for very much time and yet I still love to read your blog. Thanks for giving a glimpse into your life.

Pick me! I do so miss your cookies!

But seriously, daily reader here. Missing the flesh-and-blood EP, but enjoying the electronic version none-the-less

Hi Ellen! I know I don't know you very well (I'm Melanie Hunsaker's sister), but I love reading your blog and you inspire me to be a better quilter! I even made a link on my blog to your blog and it's titled "Almost Makes Me Want To Live In New England." :)

I think it's funny that all of Melanie's family is coming out of the woodworks and admitting to being daily readers of your blog. I am a sister in law and have loved reading your blog for some time now too. It just took a competition to get me to comment!

jane maynard said...

happy blogiversary to you, ellen! :) you'll be sick of my comments by the end of the week as a care package from you is irresistible. keep on blogging - love it!!

shellydinger said...

Ellen! Awesome idea - a good way to see who all reads your blog. I hope you keep posting every day. You are so inspiring! (and I don't even get chocolate out of it) Keep 'em coming.

Melanie said...

Okay, I think since 4 of my relatives made comments here, that qualifies me for an ep care package!

I love your blog, Ellen... I don't think I could survive living away from New England without it!

Congratulations on your milestone !! I too am a HUGE fan of your blog. It keeps me in touch with my "Boston Roots". It is my daily getaway. I love your dedication and your outlook on life. Here is to many more years of happy blogging !!

Blackeyedsue said...

Congratulations Ellen! I just wanted to let you know that I am one of your biggest fans! I look up to you in SOOOOO many ways. Mostly, I love your outlook. You have to be one of the most positive, loving people I have had the pleasure to *meet*. Don't put me in your drawing, I just wanted you to know that.

Wow Ellen, look how many comments you've got! I guess you should give stuff away more often!

Dear Ellen,
I am a devoted reader of your blog. I love your pictures and your comments. I agree, your blog makes me want to live in New England. I can't wait to come to visit again. I want to go to see the places you blog about. You do have a sweet condo, love the red refrigerater!!

Hey Ellen, this is Jamie. Happy Blog thingy. My first time I tried blogging I set up my own blog instead of making a post by accident. Me and blogs don't get along well. Oh well, so glad to hear it's worked out for you.
Rock on and have a sweet summer. It's so awesome to share Massachusetts with Ellen Patton again!
