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.

CONGRATULATIONS Rachel, that is a fantastic achievment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats from me too. blog looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've never had Yumoo crab but I`m getting hungry just looking at the picture. Happy to meet you!
ReplyDeleteSo cool that your blog made on the Blogs of Note list!
ReplyDeleteThis does not surprise me. Blogs of Note highlights some pretty amazing people, and you are one of those! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Rachel! I'm so glad I stopped by, this is a really fun blog. I will come back often. That crab does look yummo!
ReplyDeleteNeat blog! I found you through blogs of note and I'm impressed! I share you love of thrift store shopping. Will be checking your page regularly to see finds. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog. I LOVE your creativity! The sight of your studio made me crack up (and frankly, make me feel better about my cluttered house). :-)

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI'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

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).
ReplyDeleteAwesome 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.
Congratulations, keep up the good work!
