One Year Blogging Anniversary

 Roses #900 experiment

One year ago, today, I signed on for a blog. Wow, I didn’t even know what a blog was. I had almost no knowledge of blogs and absolutely no experience. It has been a wonderful year. Thank you so much to all the people who read Bella Vista….who comment…and a special thanks to those who follow me. You ALL are so very much appreciated!

I will have a giveaway to celebrate shortly. Please come back and check for it.

Thank you for your sweet friendship!

Barb

  1. One year... I too, am almost at my 1 year anniversary. Blogging has been a blessing and fun. Joining other women who have common interests, challenges, trials, and joys is always encouraging. Doing it via blogging is just another amazing benefit of the new technology of our times. I am technically a follower! :-) You are in my favorites. I visit almost every day. I love your music too. Sometimes I click here, and minimize and leave the music playing while I'm out. The doggies come back in my bedroom and fall asleep listening. :-) (another benefit!!)
    Enjoy all your posts. Have a great day Barb.
