Holy Blog Hits, Batman!!

Just YESTERDAY!!
YESTERDAY!!
THIS little blog made it onto the BLOGS OF NOTE list on Blogger!!
That in itself was PRETTY danged COOL...
and I knew I'd see some new traffic to the 'ole blog.
BUT
HOLY BLOG HITS, Batman!!
In the last two days, I've had over 7,ooo unique hits to the blog!! WOW.
Check it out!! lol I had to click the link to make sure that THAT Memories of Mine to Thine was THIS Memories of Mine to Thine!! lol
If you're here because of my new status, THANKS for clicking in!! Leave me a comment! I'd love to know you were here!

So I caught Macs snuggling with Otis the other day... and I haven't had a chance to share... aren't they adorable?

I've been working on a project I've had in my head for a while...


Yesterday, we went to the beach, and I got to eat some YUMMO crab...

Some new developments are in the WERKS... and I'm really excited about them!! I love the way things fall into place. Things like classes, and art stuff... and if I'm LUCKY publication in another magazine!! Cross your fingers.
I went thrifting today and found some good stuff too!! A new chair for photography... and some neato vintage goodies. I'll try to get some shots.

  6. Oh yeah, that's me, I'm one of the people who found you from blogs of note...the thing is, I "never" click on those to look. So not sure why I did yesterday, but there you go. Then I discovered we both belong to mixed media artists on ning...so there must have been some other connection that moved my mouse over "blogs of note"!! Lovely blog by the way!

  20. I would just like to congratulate you on your "Blog of Note". I came across it quite by accident, and I must say that I am loving it!
    I've also had trouble with spammers, and I have also stopped people commenting as "Anonymous" too! It is so annoying to find people using the guise of "Anonymous" to write rubbish!
    Keep up the good work!
    Best wishes

Looking forward to reciprocating all friends and connections, and wanted to say that I absolutely loved what I found here. You are right, don't change anything and just keep exploring things :) As a matter of fact, my blog was also started in 2006, although yours is older by a few months.

  36. HEY! I'm here because of the Blogs of Note! I'm new to blogspot, but I've been keeping my Live Journal for about 5 years now. Just started a photoblog which is public (really like my privacy, otherwise).

    Awesome blog, by the way. Does it take up a lot of your time to keep updating, or are you so used to it that you can do it in a spare 5 minutes? Still getting my head round all this HTML gumph.

    Anyhoo.... I'm enjoying reading your blog, thanks for sharing bits of your life!

    Churs!
    Bernadine.
