SO SORRY, THE DRAW IS NOW CLOSED
Hello everyone! So, I've reached that time: the one-year blogaversary... well, almost - 19th June is the day. It's been the most incredible year - with so many new adventures, new friends, new discoveries - that I'm slightly lost for words (and you'll know how extreme that is) to describe how I feel about it all.
I have to say an enormous thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who are with me on this journey. Your amazing support and generosity seems boundless, and the inspiration I get from travelling around Craftyblogland is an endless source of joy to me.
I'm saying thank you with a blog candy too, in the time-honoured tradition... and there are really no hoops to jump through. Just leave me a comment here saying that you'd like to be in the draw and we'll take it from there.
If you would like to share the picture and link in your sidebar, then obviously that would be lovely, but it's not compulsory, and nor is signing up as a follower.
The only reason I can see for following a blog is if you like what you find there... so, of course if you like it here, then it would be great to have you join the gang. But it's not required!
(Sorry, neither the wooden tray nor the wrought iron chair are included!)
On the other hand, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all my current followers (and any potential newbies) to consider how you are following me.
I'm so sad about the demise of Google Reader on July 1st. I love the Blogger Dashboard, and it's my route to seeing all your new posts. It seems like Blogger Dashboard might all stay fine for Blogger blogs, but might mess up receiving others, like WordPress. So I have made sure I've got all of the blogs I follow (yup, that's most of you, and then some!) safely stored both at Bloglovin' and at Feedly while I decide which one has the least horrible interface. As long as you do it before July 1st, it's very easy to export the list of blogs you follow to either or both of these. Then at least you'll have a back-up, ready for whatever happens!
There seems to be some doubt about the exact consequences of Google Reader's disappearance. It shouldn't immediately impact on Google Friend Connect (the way most of us follow each other), and I love having all your pictures there, so by all means continue to sign up in the normal way. But some advice seems to be that it's possible Google will decide to drop that too. So, to be on the safe side, there are a couple of extra possibilities.
The safest seems to be to follow by email - the widget is in the sidebar, just under the Followers.
And I'm also now offering the chance to follow via bloglovin' (despite that missing g on the end which really bugs me - I suppose I should be grateful they've got the apostrophe but, still, what's wrong with a g?). Again, the widget should now be in the sidebar... fingers crossed.
And I do hope we'll manage to stay connected as we move on into the new post-Google Reader age... I'd hate to lose any of you. See you out there!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Update on all the Following stuff... It seems that Blogger Dashboard may still function fine for Blogger blogs - it's others, like WordPress which may disappear from the lists of posts there... The lovely Chris Warner is offering up some Techy Tips from her expert IT knowledge if you want some more details. So, for now, it does at least look as though the Followers widget is still favourite - do hope I haven't confused the issue for everyone!

Congratulations on your first year of blogging, I cannot believe its only been a year. It's been a thrill to,watch your creative journey through your blog, long may it continue. Tracy x
Oops sorry wanted to say thank you for the blog candy. Thank you x x
A chair to Australia? Now that would be generous. Alison I am delighted to follow your art adventures and would be amazed to win your Blog treasures!
what lovely candy and one hell of a year x
plenty to think about with this whole blog thing, I have heard bits and bobs but will need to do some homework now, I would hate to loose the people I follow x
Happy 1 blog b'day, ill look forward to many more x
congratulations on your amazing first year! i can't believe it's only been a year, you've shared some super creations! it has been such a pleasure following you and reading your posts and seeing your artworks. i sure would love to win one :)
i've tried several alternatives to google reader. im leaning to the old reader; the interface is similar to google reader. good luck finding one you like.
grace
Congratulations...what a great year it's been huh? Well, especially for us who have shared in your adventure. Since I would follow your creativity anywhere I went to Bloglovin'. I guess I have to pull my head out of the sand and go see what the blazes Google is doing to us, and what I should be doing about that. Maybe I'll just take your lead and try Bloglovin' first.
At any rate, thanks for sharing your work and thanks for the chance to win some cool stuff!!
Wow! Only a year? Congrats. I have been so very inspired by your beautiful creations. I appreciate the encouragement that you have given me through your comments & visits. So glad that we have the opportunity to be DT mates. I would love to be included in your draw. Have a great evening.
Kate
congrats on a blogland anniversary! Although I'm disappointed that you are not including the wrought iron chair, I'd be happy to open the rest of the goodies should they land on my doorstep. I will try that bloggin' site as I've already been to feedly. Not happy about this change!
Love your blog and have followed you for a while. Would love to be in the drawing - keep up your great work!!!
Happy Blogaversary!! Of course I would love to be in the draw for the candy.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary and for providing all of us lucky folks the opportunity to see inside your wonderfully creative soul and to see the amazing works you've created! Here's to many more years of our viewing pleasure.
Shelby
Happy 1st anniversary, butterfly!! I am so happy I found your blog last fall. You are a talented artist and a very sweet soul! Oh the Blogaversary candy is fab! Please add me to draw (already crossing my fingers). :) Here's to many enjoyable years of inky/painty crafting and blogging! Hugs, Nan
Congrats Alison! You're a fantastic creative girl!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for a chance to win your fab blogcandy! BArbarayaya
...where does time go? one things for sure, it's been a full steam ahead kinda year for you Alison, with so many delightful creatiions to dance before our eyes and thought provoking words to feed our soul...congratulations on a truly wonderful creative year...Mel:)x
Congratulations on your blog anniversary. Doesn't time fly. I love your work and am looking forward to seeing many more. Thanks for the chance to win such lovely goodies.
Woo hoo a great milestone Alison. Your year and blog has been full of wonderful inspiration. So looking forward to the next one. Thanks for posting such a wonderful giveaway,
hugs {brenda} x0x
I'm so glad you talked a bit about the different readers and that there is an alternative to following you now that Google Reader is gone. While Google hasn't said anything about GFC, they have been depleting its functionality long before the talk of scrapping Reader, so it is safe to say it will go bye bye as well in July.
On another note, I have loved your blog for quite awhile now. You are such an inspiration and I love the fact that all of the goodies in your candy are pretty much so you! :D Thanks for a wonderful year of inspiration and here is to plenty more!
Wonderful anniversary goodies Alison--thank you for all that you have taught us in the last year. I would not want to lose touch so will explore the new ways that I can keep in touch.
Love Chrissie x
First of all congrats!! Hard to believe it has only been a year! This is wonderful candy you are offering (even without the chair and tray lol), who would not want to win! I have been seeing comments about the google changes all over blogland, I hope they are letting us keep the followers widget? I follow through bloglovin (g) now and it seems to work fine. I also put my favourite blogs in my side bar under my blog list and am now wondering whether that is going too? On the other hand, there was a lot of hype about google making changes too blog followers last year, and nothing really changed, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.I'll put your candy offer in my sidebar!
I found your blogg via Tim Holtz' Blogworthy Links and have visited your blog regulary since than. Like your stile !! Congrats to your jubilee. Keep at it, you do a great art!
Greetings from Norway,
Antje
Congrats on a year of blogging - it goes so fast doesn't it!! I must do something about a replacement for blog reader, had forgotten (again)
Your candy looks fabulous, so would love to be in with a shot. Can't link it till I get home though...
Huge congratulations on your first year of blogging Alison. It has been my pleasure to follow you and your wonderful crafty makes.
Thanks for the info re Google. I will need to look in to this and the blog lovin deets as I am rather out of touch.
Huge hugs Alison and I look forward to following you for many years
Hugs

Well now we know the chair is not included we're most upset, Podgy was imaging himself sitting on it!
Happy bloggyversary for the 19th. We love reading your posts.
Congratulations Alison. I can honestly say that I have loved following you on your journey since the start. You are always so professional in everything you create and that's a pleasure on its own. I'd love to be in with a chance to win such wonderful goodies. Enjoy your Day. Hugs Rita xxxxx
Can't believe you've just been bloggin' (sorry couldn't resist that) for 1 year! I really must get cracking and update my blog. What a fabulous candy prize too. Thanks so much Alison. Love, Margie x
Congratulations on hitting your first blogiversary, and what a wonderfully generous way to celebrate with such yummy candy which of course i'd love to win (who wouldn't lol). Thanks for the chance and congrats again sweetie. Hugs xNx
Good grief - it's just a year? Feels like it's been all your life ;-)
Um - are you sure we can't spare that chair?
I think you'd better not put me in the candy draw, might not look good if I won.
All my good wishes for the next stunning year

Well that year has flown by! You are always such an inspiration Alison, feel like I have known you much longer......thanks so much for the chance to win too. I have joined up Bloglovin (hate the name too) but seem to get the posts a day late..... but I guess it is better late than never.

Hugs, Cathy-Lynn
You filled all the previous year with gorgeous displays and lots of inspiration, Alison. Of course count me in.
In addition to bloglovin (that i don't like much) I exported my feed to The old reader, it's seems not so bad.
ONLY one yearof blogging! Then I have seen so many beautiful creations, that it feels much longer! LOVE what you do, and I am follower with a happy heart!
That candy calls my name LOL
Love the chair!!! lol! Happy Anniversary Alison. I can't believe it is only one year. Thank you!! for not only sharing all of your wonderful projects with us but also sharing all your tips, advice and detail on how you made them.

What an eventful year you have had! I always look forward to visiting your blog to be awed by your creations.
I am following you now on Feedly and found it to be an easy transition from Google Reader.

Dear Alison. Thank you for all your kind words...I´m not sure I can take the credit for giving you any inspiration on my blog, hi hi hi... mainly because we create so diffently things.

I´ve been following you on Bloglovin for some time ;-)

who could say no to the gorgeous blog candy Alison?! thank you for offering. you certainly have had a wonderful year - it's been lovely to see it all happen and all that amazing creativity. I'm the same as you - so sad to see google reader go - I'm playing with Feedly at the moment. it's okay but not as quick as reader.
Congratulations!!! What fabulous blog candy! So excited for a chance to win. Love seeing your posts and the inspiration!
Wow, how fast a year goes by....happy bloggaversary, Alison!!!!
And what an impressive year this was! So much happened and so much still out there waiting to be tried out, be discovered and shared.
(I just recognized I missed my anniversary (due to two terribly hectic weeks and still no end in sight...hm...I think I will find something that can be celebrated, when the time is right ;).
May the new crafting year be as joyful and successful as the last one!!!
Hugs,
Claudia x

Hi Alison, Has it been a year, would not have thought it. The chair would be a bit big to send thru the post...Ha Ha. Thanks for the chance to win more stash. Have a good day. Francesca xxx
Congratulations on your first year!
I'm a wordpress user, and I'm following your blog via rss, I've added it to my mailbox so it comes neatly into it's own folder whenever you make a new post. I love it that way - only downside is that the blogowner can't see I'm following.
I am happy to see you value quality over quantity - what does a number of 10000 followers say if they don't read your posts or only follow for the candy? I'd rather have 10 followers who are sincerely interested, then 50 who actually never read your posts or never comment. Who follow your blog back out of politeness. Having said that - I do only have 20 followers haha! I blame it on being a wordpress blog ;). If half of them are truely interested in all I write or even read what I write, then it's a lot!
I admit I have added lots of blogs to my wordpress reader, but I don't like the way it works so I never check there. The blogs I found really interesting are now delivering their blogposts directly to my mailbox via the rss feed. (Not via subscribe to mail, as I don't want it to clutter my partners computer who shares the e-mail adress).
Oops forgot to say I'd like to be in the draw for the candy as well. Maybe you can add this post to my previous one, in case you are going to use a randomizer thingy?
Congratulations on your blogoversary and thanks for chance at such yummy candy, I will add your pic and link to my sidebar

Congratulations on completing your 1st year of blogging. It has been fun to join you on your creative journey & amazing to see how far you have come in such a short time. You are so talented. Please enter me in the draw for your blog candy. Barbara x
I follow your blog via email having arrived here from Tim Holtz' blog. I love looking at and being inspired by what you do and especially the quotes every day. I don't have a blog myself, just enjoy others', but would love to be entered in the draw. Thanks!
Congrats Alison with your first blog anniversary! It was/is always a great surprise what you've created and it never is disappointing. You are so gifted!
That many creations will be shown for many years on your blog Alison.
How kind of you to offer this great candy!
Enjoy! Kind regards, Alie :-)
Blimey, haven't they heard the phrase, if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!
Thanks for sharing the info Alison.
Congrats on your blog anniversary too - goes quick doesn't it!!!

Congratulations on the one year anniversary Alison. Have always loved visiting here and seeing the fabulous things you create. Thank you also for the useful information on the Google Reader, will be looking at the links you suggested.

Woaw, what a lovely blog you have. I am a new follower on your blog(by email) now, you do stunning project.
Congratulations...
I want to take part in your candy!

Happy Anniversary and thanks for the opportunity to take part in such a fabulous blog candy draw.
Thanks also for the lowdown on the changeover - I made the effort some time back to export my blog list to BlogLovin (!) so hopefully won't have any switchover problems.
Keep up the good work
Happy, Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the chance at some blog candy!
Who would not want to follow this blog? You do some stunning work, have stunning pictures and - well - it's just a stunning blog in every way.
Hugs, Neet xx (please count me in the draw)
You know I don't really understand why the powers that be have to change the settings for things, when they work perfectly well. I agree with you about the Bloglovin' without a g. It takes the same amount of tapping keys to put an apostrophe in as it would to put a g where it's supposed to be! I wonder who makes these decisions! Your blog candy looks totally amazing by the way, so generous and well done on your blog anniversary. I was right up against it with DT's on my anniversary and missed giving away some crafty goodies. I'll have to do a belated one. I'd love to be involved in you give away too, it's too yummy to pass up really, and it would be rude not to.
Forgot to sign off. Great opportunity. Michelle xxx
Congratulation on your first year of blogging Alison, you have a blog full of art to be proud of!
Thank you for all your inspiration, the tutorials, fun posts, dollhouses and great snippets of prose and famous quotes! Oh, and thank you too for the chance of winning some blog candy.
Have a great weekend. xxx
Hi Alison, wow what a fabulous year you've had, so many gorgeous and inspirational projects, your blog is a joy to visit, thanks for the info on bloglovin, (still being a bit thick where that's concerned but have just joined up!) oooh and thanks for the opportunity to win your delicious blog candy too, so generous. xxx
Happy One Year Anniversary Alison!! What a great way for all of us to celebrate with the blog candy :) Love what you have been creating over the last couple of weeks. Fabulous work. Of course I love all the beach themed pieces. I'm back at work now and wishing I was back on the beach:) Congrats on top 3 at SSS&S -- I think "S" stands for the super-fantasticly (if that isn't a word, it is now) creative artist that you are.

Alison I have no idea if you received my comment - an error window appeared.

Alison, it's so hard for me to believe its just a year that you've been blogging, cause it's like you've been blogging and sharing your passion for crafting and your love of paint and colour for way longer than that :-D
I love too that you make so many visits to other bloggers, and always with a kind word :)
so Congratulations on your first Blog Birthday, I hope there's going to be many more :-)

Hi Alison, congrats on one year of a fab blog. I have been following for a while via google but I have taken the precaution of joining bloglovin just in case. Maybe it's a case of the millenium bug all over again!! We can but hope. I'm not techy and just want things to work with the least effort on my part. Hope it's covered. Thanks for your efforts to alert us to the changes. And of course I would love to have a chance at your blog anni candy. Add me to the draw please. Have a great day
Has it only been one year? Your success in such a short amount of time is amazing. Congratulations on putting together such a fantastic and popular blog.
hugs♥,
Caroline
Happy Blogoversary Alison! I'm following your blog and there's a link in my sidebar . Thanks for a chance to win great candy! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies

Congratulations on your Blogoversary Alison. I too discovered you and your inspirational journey a while ago now and have followed you ever since. I do have you in my Blogger Dashboard but also in my sidebar so you pop to the top whenever you post. Unfortunately I've not had much time for commenting recently (family stuff) but I do visit as often as I can because there's always something beautiful to see. Thank you for giving us all the chance to win such wonderful anniversary candy.
