You do a fantastic job in your photography, your creations, and the open way you express your ideas. My heart is with you as your husband is away this Christmas season. I want to thank both of you for the sacrifices you are making to help keep our nation safe.
Your bag is so cute. I'm looking forward to looking around your blog.

I can't remember when, or how I found your blog, but I have been really enjoying it for quite a while. I think the first post I read was about your token system. THANKS! that works awesome for my son!!
Anyway, Congratulations on your one year blogiversary!! I hope there are many more years of blogging fun for me to visit.

Hi V.
my first time here... and I've really enjoyed it. I'll probably be coming back to do some more browsing around here.
love the bandana skirt. I'm thinking my girls have some in their dress-up box.. i may have to sneak a couple to try this skirt out.
would love to be entered into the giveaway... cute bag!
have a great day.
I love your blog, and I LOVE free stuff! Your crafts are so inspiring!
Happy Blgging anniversary! I just found your blog via This That & the other. I especially wanted to see your pinwheel tutorial. I love pinwheel quilts! I couldn't help but start reading your enteries for the last couple of months. I'm adding you to my "favorites". The little purse is sweet/especially the embellishement. Who wouldn't want to win that:)
So being that I knew you many years before your blog, before GI Joe Husband even thought of being a GI Joe, before your kids, can I count you as knowing someone famous? Because I think it's pretty darn cool that you're famous now. :) Love you! Happy blog-iversary!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! blessings, marlene
I've always loved this bag! Happy blogging anniversary..I started reading it months ago and I'm so glad that I did. Your whole family is amazing!
From someone in the middle of no where to another, hello and love your bag creation.
Wow V! Look at how popular you are! You deserve it! Love ya!
Sally
Okay, you seriously have major friends if you can post on a Monday morning and by the time I read it (10:50 am Monday morning) 29 people have already posted a comment.
I don't think 29 people TOTAL look at my blog and certainly on a given day.
So, I am without friends and therefore I need to win.
~Monica
Whoa - I can't believe you have so many people reading your blog, Vaness - you're like a celebrity or something!
I totally am in the same boat with Monica...you are so popular!
How are you ever going to choose the lucky person??? Hey 1/30 odds aren't too bad...oh wait, that number is totally going up...because again, you are so popular, plus giving away totally cute purse.
HAPPY blogging anniversary!
love, Larissa
Happy Anniversary! If you know my blog...you know I appreciate the freebies! Cute AND handmade freebies are the best!
Candy
One year? Good for you! One of these days I'll actually jump on the wagon and start my own blog.....
congrats on a year! hopefully i'm lucky this time around for the freebie! this is the cute bag i wanted that reminded me of utah summers. love your blog--such an inspiration to me!
I have enjoyed you blog for months now. Happy Anniversary with a cherry on top!
Love it!

i am so glad my "getting rid of goats search" led me to your blog, as your blog continues to inspire me. the first inspiration was to get rid of my goats, and funny story, the family that took them pointed out that Penny, my "Nanny" goat was really a neutered "Billy" goat - opps - sorry guys - they were free!?!
i love the bag!
Love the bag sooooo much...cherry fabric is my all-time favorite. Remember me, I'm the person from Vermont that kept asking you about the girl's skirt tutorial a little while back. I check in with you often. I love your white fireplace, it's so crisp and clean looking. Congratulations on the anniversary. Now, I'm so sure that your next countdown will be counting the days until your husband comes home!
Merry Christmas and all Wonderful things in 2009!
Mary Ann

I have been a silent blog-stalker since Larissa sent me here to check your site out. Can I say I've broken a commandment by totally and completely coveting your site! If I had the amount of talent that you had in just your flippin' pinkie finger, I'd be a happy gal! Congrats on 1 year...woohoo!
I love reading your blog! You've inspired me to make a quilt for my daughter.
Everday I have to get my Vanessa blog and chocolate fix (have you tried kisses mint truffels yet? You'll love them!) Love the bag and cherry print, reminds me of when my girls were little. Congrats on such a successful blog and here's to many more years!
A wonderful bag and a wonderful blog. You are inspiring me to get going on my blog.
Congrats on blogging for an entire year! Love the bag! My daughter would just go crazy to have one!
I just found you through "this that and the other" so this being my first visit and what with you giving away such a cute bag I just have to leave a comment and tell you how much I enjoyed my stay.
