A year ago, I discovered a new world. A world where my creative soul feels free and empowered; a world where I am inspired to create day by day; a world where everyone is supportive and caring.
It is also a world that can take over every free minute of your day if you allow it and the pressure to measure up to others can become a source of insecurity and sometimes even jealousy. We are, after all, human.
A year ago today, I started this little blog in the hope of capturing the daily adventures of my children and I. The intent was for this blog to serve as a photographic journal for them, but as time went by, the branches of this little Craftberry Bush have grown in a different direction. Although I try to capture my every day along with my kiddies, the blog has evolved into something different than what I had intended and for that, I feel guilty.
There are days when I feel I have reached the end of this road, but it is your beautiful friendships and sweet words that keep me going. I am so humbled you have chosen to walk this creative journey with me and each time I read your encouraging words, you have – without knowing – left a little bit of your heart with me and it swells mine with gratefulness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Even though I have been doing this for a year, I still feel like I did the first time I pressed the publish button. I still don’t know much about HTML, how to add certain features to my blog or how to add my ‘own signature’. I still feel anxiety when publishing a new post and wondering if it is ‘good enough’ to post, but it is your words that give me the confidence to go on.
I am not sure what this journey will look like from here, but please know that I will continue to try to inspire you and I will always be true to who I am and hope that my sincerity shows through each post.
I would like to end this post as I have been doing for a year…by thanking you for sharing your time with me and stopping by.
As always….much love,
Lucy

Happy anniversary! Keep writing and creating. You are an incredible artist.
And if you need help adding a signature, just ask. You can email me and I’ll try to help. We can get you a favicon too (little picture to replace Blogger’s “b” up in the tab). Not that those little things matter when you’ve got other gorgeous things to look at on the blog.

So sweet of you. Happy Anniversary! I really do hope you continue. I am one of the ones that found you once you hit your creative streak and I still enjoy seeing all your ideas and fun projects. Yes, they inspire me. Yes, I try a bunch of them. But the reason I come back again and again is that you always have such beautiful messages in your writing. I always feel refreshed after coming. Wishing you many more beautiful things in the future!!
