So....

{May all your wishes today come true, by Toomy☺}

...tomorrow is my little blogs one year birthday/blog anniversary thing
and today I just reached 300 followers
how amazing/ridiculous/fantastic/bewildering/exciting is that!!

I'll be honest, my blog started off pretty rubbish - I've never done anything like this before and it took me a good couple of months to get into the swing of it but now I am incredibly pleased with it, with all the amazing people I have met through my blog and some of the great projects and swaps* that I have been involved in through my blog.

Tomorrow I have a great giveaway planned which I am so excited about, so I thought I better get the gushing, teeny bit of crying and amazement out of the way today :)

A massive thank you to everyone who reads my blog - I probably wouldn't have continued to blog if Jessica, Jamie and Amy didn't start to follow my blog way back when. I always try to read everyone's blog and reading other blogs is definitely an inspiration for writing mine.

Here's to another year!

*talking of swaps, have you seen Megan's stationary swap? I love stationary, what a great idea!

New year... new adventures!!

{ Drawn by Notebookdoodles for me, I love it and will probably post it again and again}

As I mentioned yesterday I am so proud of what I accomplished last year and especially my blog - it started off so small (and a bit rubbish if I'm honest) but with some hard work, excitement, new friends and fun times it has now become my little haven and an important, creative part of my life.

So I've thought long and hard about this and I've decided that I am just going to go for it:

For the easily distracted... is now accepting sponsors!

Update 2011: For the easily distracted... is not accepting sponsors. Although I enjoyed it at the time, I didn't feel it suited me or my blog. If you're interested in working with me in some way then please contact me on rhiannelouise@gmail.com perhaps we can work something out.
p.s. Thank you so much again to all my readers for your continuous support, you really have been amazing!

Goodbye 2009!

The best thing about having my blog is being reminded of everything that we've done this year and how amazing it actually was!

This time last year I had no idea what 2009 was going to be like...

I had no idea of all the fun things we would do.

I had no idea I would fall in love with film photography and that I would end up owning a crazy amount of cameras!

I had no idea I would start my own photography shop.

I had no idea I would make friends with some incredibly wonderful people from all around the world - all of a sudden my little bubble doesn't seem so tiny anymore. (See my favourites!!)

I had no idea I would be sending postcards, photos, ornaments and presents to people I've never met and completely love it.

I had no idea I would be part of an amazing project that inspires me constantly

I had no idea that I would start a swap that would be so much fun!

I had no idea we would go to the beach so much! (yeay)

I had no idea I would take so many photos of our feet :)

and I had absolutely no idea that in a years time I would be so proud of myself, of us, of all of my friends and family and so grateful for everything and everyone in my life...

I am so excited and ready for 2010!
