Would you believe it? I have been prattling on to you all for a WHOLE YEAR as of today - and, unfortunately for you, none of my posts have been as short as the very first one!
If you had asked me just over a year ago whether I would have a blog of my own I would have laughed - I have always felt really self-conscious whenever I have tried to write a diary or anything like that and would never have dreamt of doing it online but then I discovered the whole world of CRAFTY BLOGGING - and I was an instant convert!
I absolutely LOVE my blog and the whole blog world and am very happy to have had the chance to make friends with you all!
So I'd like to invite you to my Bloggyversary Party. The imaginary wine is open (and there is loads of it) and the imaginary buffet is set out so come over and have fun!
Now, as it's my party I can do what I like can't I? And this is the point at which I am going to be really rebellious (which is totally unlike me - I'm such a stickler for doing things right!).
My act of rebellion is this:
I have been really lucky lately to have been chosen as the PIF recipient from two blogs and had already signed up to another (I also have two PIF parcels waiting to be sent out from last year - it did say we could take up to 365 days didn't it???).
But the problem with PIF-ing is that once it has been around a bit everyone has taken part at least once and people have so many other commitments that they can't take on another pay-it-forward.
So what I am going to do is break all the rules and offer to Pay It Forward to 9 people who comment on this post - but THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PAY IT FORWARD IN TURN.
I hope this makes sense!
So leave a comment on this post and you will be in the draw for one of the nine presents that I will send out - but you do not have to pay it forward unless you really want to.

Happy Bloggyversary to you,
I went to the zoo,
I saw a big gorilla,
and it looked just like YOU!!!!
Ho ho ho - happy 1st year Missus! Of course you can break the rules! (especially if you pick me!).
Your mahoosive dolly is looking really rather gorgeous...another fantastic creation from the hands of Locket!
As I'm not the first one to join the party I do hope you've saved me some wine and nibbles......
lots of love Moogsmum and the Mooglets xxxxx
Oooohhh....controversial! Happy Bloggyversary.

Happy Blogiversary:-)
You certainly make Blogland an even happier place to be! Love your crafts and your writing- and may no post ever be as short as that first one:-D
Well, it certainly did work .... and how! Happy Blog Birthday ... try not to get too tipsy on all that wine - now you've set yourself up with EVEN MORE WORK you'll need to keep a clear head!
:)
Well, I have never entered one of these before as my blog has sadly lapsed but if you don't need a blog to enter then I'd like to play please :D I may even get it up and running again just so I can do a PIF as well :D
And HAPPY BLOGGIVERSARY - I am so glad that you did :D
Locket! 22 mini-quilts, a to-do list longer than that Mahoosive ragdoll (btw, hair on = way less scary) as well as a family, house and allotment to be in charge of, and you sign up for nine D.B.T.P.I.F.s!!!
Seriously, how do you find the time, enquiring minds want to know!
p.s. Is it all right to have lemonade? It's just that I didn't realise there would be wine and I'm driving.
Happy Blogiversary!! I love reading your posts, you make me laugh!
Here's to many more
I'll add some imaginary cake to the imaginary buffet!
April xx
oh sweet rag doll! And happy blogyversary!!
Lucy - you've taken leave of your senses - only a couple of posts ago you were saying how much you've taken on and wondering how you'd manage - now you're offering to make NINE more things - good luck - but anyway please pop my name in the hat :o)))
Ms. Locket -- have you lost your mind??? Don't you have enough projects with all of your miniquilts and PIFS???? You crack me up! You're such a sweetheart and I'm SO glad you're blogging -- don't stop! Happy, Happy Blogiversary -- I can't believe it's only been one year!
Just popped in to say HaPpY bLoGgYvErSaRy to you!
Please, please don't include me in the draw - I've already got enough to pack up without anything else (boy, am I going to have a huuuuuuuuge clear out of my stash soon)!
Hope you and the Lockets are well. Well done on the year - here's to many more!
Take care :-) x
congratulations and jubilations, you're a very generous lady !

Lovely Lucy, I so enjoy your blog, and especially love seeing your children crafting and creating right alongside. It's a bit early here in the NW United States for wine, but I'm having a nice cup of tea with you (wine later). I'd love to be part of the PIF. Kate
Happy blog birthday, loving the rag doll. Please enter me.

Happy Blogversary Lucy, just make sure you get some sleep in between all this work you have planned

Happy 1 yr blogaversary. I really enjoy reading your blog. Your latest doll is really a cutie.
Keep up the good work!
Please include my in the PIF.
I've just made the cake for the party - it's a big chocolate one with maltesers (brown and white), minstrels, rolos, curly whirlies, chunks of fudge and the inevitable chocolate buttons. The candle is lit, give it a big blow and make a wish...
Yeah, Lucy, you did it all in one go! Hope your wish comes true!
Right then, who's for a big slice of cake?
Happy first year Missis! Your doll is looking lovely - I would like plaits just like that!
I never quite understood the whole PIF rule thing - I assumed that every time you signed up you were supposed to give away to 3 more people but other people haven't done it that way. I do wonder when you're going t sleep with all the things you'll be making though!
happy bloggy birthday super swappy organiser!
Wow, that's a few more comments than you got for your first blog. Well done on your bloggyversary and for being different. Hugs
Happy Blogaversary...what a lovely gesture. Who wouldn't want to own a Mrs Locket original !
