This is my 1000th post. It is hard to believe I have made more than 1000 cards in the last 4 years and 10.5 months. I started blogging September 15th of 2012. For a bit of nostalgia I pulled together 12 of my favorite cards...some favorites at the time and some favorites now. Only one of the cards below is still in my collection, all the others were given with love.
My style has definitely changed. My designs have certainly improved with the help of classes and looking at all the beautiful things my fellow bloggers create. So on to the photos, each grouping of 4 is labeled below for the time period in which they were created and posted.

So to celebrate a lot of cards and my 5th blog-anniversary on September 15th I'll be giving away 2 gift certificates to an online crafty retailer in the amount of 25.00 each. All you have to do to be in the running is to comment on as many blog posts between August 1st and September 15th as you like. Each comment on different blog posts is one entry. If you are new here and you'd like to follow me, that would be great - but not required for the give away.
I am so grateful for the lovely women I have met through this hobby and the friendships that have developed. It is a fantastic community and I am happy to be a part of it.
As always, thank you so very much for stopping by!

Wow! 1000 posts, that is amazing - congrats ! I LOVE the collage above of your favorite cards! How fun that your style has evolved. I really like them all - and it is great that you have given so many away.
A lot of great cards here, Cat, but my favorites are on the shelf where I admire them every day! So, so glad you started blogging 1000 posts ago so we can see your beautiful work. But most of all I'm grateful for your kindness & friendship. Sending hugs, Greta
Congrats on a big Blogoversary! Your cards always delight and inspire, Jo x
Isn't it interesting to look back and see how much our styles change and morph over the years! I'm always embarrassed seeing my very early work, and how proud I was of them at the time! By the time I started blogging I thought I had improved some, but still they were nothing like the cards I make today! Thank you for sharing these with us and here's to the next 1000. Have a great day my friend! Luv & Hugs. Hazel xx

Congrats on your amazing milestone, Cat! It's been great following your blog through the years and seeing your collection above is a lovely trip down memory lane! I think it is "us" who should be grateful for your inspiration and for your very thoughtful 'Happy Mail' on birthdays, holidays or for no reason at all! You're the best, and I wish you lots of crafty fun for the next 1000 posts!!! Hugs, Barb xo
