Today the Whimsical Cottage wipes the sleep of a newborn blog from its eyes and turns a mature 1 year old. Time flies when you're rambling with your friends.
When I started this blog last July, I was worried about not being able to find like minded folks or anyone who wanted to read about my pagan path, mundane ramblings or art. Insecurity has a way of making thoughts like that appear and stick in your head. My first few followers came over from Mrs. B's and while some have petered off into the internet ether (if you're still there lurking, say hi every now and then! I miss you) others have stayed the course with me while I figured this blog thing out.
Other lovely folks have joined me since then and I've met more than a few kindred pagan souls, made friends with a few artists and have had a ball getting to know each and every one of you. Know that whether you are a follower new or old, your stopping for a story or a peek at a photo or three here at the Cottage means a lot to me. I read and enjoy every single comment that I get.
It's been a wild year, filled with changes, adventures and creation. I'd like to share some of my favorite things I've posted over the past year to celebrate on this Blog Birthday of mine.
A Leap of Faith
A Visit to Sleepy Hollow
Our First Year
A Spell Bottle
A Visit tot Fairy Tale Forest
A New York City Christmas
Reflections on a Decade
Shaking things up
