Hi everyone!
Before I gush about me and my amazing first year, I want to take a minute to thank our armed forces for everything they do to maintain our freedom. I’m humbled by and honored to have several of my immediate family members who have served or are currently serving our amazing nation, including my two sisters, my brother, my father, my nephew, and both of my brothers-in-law. I salute you!
Now, let’s talk about me… ha ha. I don’t have any fancy giveaways for you or elaborate posts prepared to celebrate my first anniversary as the Serial Do-it-Yourselfer. What I do have to offer is this:
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you. Without you, my faithful readers, I would not be here doing what I never imagined I could. You make my day with every sweet comment you so kindly write. I appreciate them all!! I have met the most amazing people through this little blog of mine. I hope to continue this fantastic journey for many years to come.
(sniff sniff)
Okay, I thought it would be fun to share my very FIRST blog post! Hope you enjoy!
There’s a fake-pumpkin-eating
bandit on the loose!
Someone has been up to no good around my house! It’s just before Thanksgiving and since I am hosting it this year, I don’t feel like I can get out my Christmas flare…just yet. So, I still have my little fake pumpkins here and there.
What you don’t see may surprise you. See these cute little fake pumpkins?
They have all been assaulted by my two year old, he’s the fake-pumpkin-eating bandit!
He just loves apples and he still hasn’t gotten the message that these are NOT apples and they are certainly not edible! (And yes, I’m still using them to decorate but my guests would never know hee hee…it will be our little secret!)
Just thought I’d share a funny:)
Short and sweet! This post got one comment and it was my very first lol, thanks, return man2 🙂
Love you guys!!
XO,
I love to share at some of these awesome parties:

Happy Birthday Christy!! Mine is coming up in January. We have a little girl in the neighborhood that took a bite out of one of my apples one time. Nothing like a green foam apple-yum!! LOL
Christy K. James says
Lol!! I thought he would get the message after one, maybe two, but he bit every last one! 🙂
Nancy @ Artsy Chicks Rule says

Congrats on your bloggerversary! When I saw this post I realized that my bloggerversary passed me right on by without a thought! lol My first post was November 5th last year. Happy bloggerversary to me too! 😉 (didn’t realize we started at basically the exact same time!)

Thanks so much, Krista! I’ve learned so much this year, but I feel like there’s still so much to know about this crazy bloggy business! As for loving my blog, the feeling is totally mutual 🙂 XO XO
Karen says
That is so funny!!!! But gross. I am always amazed at what toddlers will continue to put in their mouths. You know the first one didn’t taste good, but he thought he would give it 10 more chances! Happy Blogoversary! Only one year old? You are so old and wise already!
Christy K. James says
I know, right? He didn’t stop until he had tasted every last one! I’ve only been blogging for a year, but DIYing forever, so maybe that helps. I still have much to learn about this bloggy business 🙂
