3.) The first blogger I met was Alissa of "grace's birdcage".  We've actually hung out twice, and she is a doll.  Go check her out!


2.) I hosted my first giveaway in January of 2010.  Gaia of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was the host, and Maggie of "Just Between Me and You" was the winner!


1.) My most popular posts, minus giveaways, were:


 *  A Top 5 list, where I asked you to name the TV shows you wish were back on the air!  
 *  The one where I called babies "high-maintenance".
