The Big One-Year Anniversary!!!

Well, I did it!!! I kept up this blog for a full year!!! A couple months were a little short post-wise but all in all I am very proud of how it has turned out. I have over 7000 views, been nominated for two Liebsters, and my first Blogathon kicks off tomorrow with over 30 entries!

Looking back, my first posts consisted of holiday photos and film lists. The New Year started off with the loss of some of Hollywood and Television's beloved stars. Then I did a Countdown to the Oscars, and learned a lot along the way. After that I got hooked on Blogathons, as you can see from all the banners running down the side of the page. And now it has come full circle with ME hosting one!!!

I would like to thank each and every one of my readers and all who took the time to comment. It is a great feeling when you know someone has read and enjoyed something you wrote. The Classic Film community is the greatest at making a newcomer feel welcome.
