It's my blogiversary!

I can't believe I almost forgot!
Three years goes by fast!

(because every party needs a pickle hat.)

In celebration of my three year blogiversary, I want to share all of the wonderful blogs I started reading  (and still am)  back when I was just  a newbie blogger.
At that time there was probably only about 15-20 home bloggers, now, it's amazing to see the fabulous new blogs full of eye candy popping up everyday...
(That's back when HGTV actually had decorating shows and it wasn't the thing I now refer to as "the real estate channel.").

There was:













There are many more wonderful blogs of course, but these are the first ones I really started with. Stop by and say hi. I've seen many blogs come and go for various reasons, but these ladies have hung in there through it all!!!!

Congrat on 3 years of blogging! I know what you mean about HGTV! I used to love watching all the fun design shows now it just seems like it's House Hunters(I still like the show but a little variety would be nice). Love the pickle party hat!

Happy Anniversary Jenn!! Thank you for listing me as one of the blogs your starting reading! I am so glad we connected. I still read every one of your posts too!

HGTV used to be great. But I still have shows I like. Sarah's House with Sarah Richardson is a favorite.

And last night I watched the winner of Design star in her Special and thought it had a great concept.

Looking forward to many more years of your posts.
Hugs,
Penny

Congrats, and thanks so much for including me in your list, I am touched! And no kidding on calling HGTV the real estate channel, really?!! Have a great week and thanks for always sharing beauty with us!

Happy Anniversary! That's kind of a big deal! Hasn't it been the best?!
I have the same gripe with HGTV, and laughed out loud that you and I have given it the same new title. I miss the design shows. That's been a big force behind blogging, I think . . . the desire for those things . . . I hadn't thought of that connection till you pointed it out . . . hmmm . . . must consider that.
Anyway, Congratulations! You MUST need to celebrate!

Happy Blogiversary sweetie!

LOL! Real estate channel is right! There's hardly anything to watch and NO gardening shows!

I remember those days when I knew every home/decor blogger. Those days are long gone and I miss them. I can't keep up!

Thanks for including me in that fab list and I hope for many more years of blogging from you!
