WOW — Five Years!
I’ve been Blogging for FIVE YEARS!! It’s time for my Blog-Anniversay-GIVE-AWAY!!
YES!! I’ve been blogging for FIVE years. I’ve been Potting, and Cooking, and Photographing (with Photo-Guy Husband), and Writing for FIVE years!! And it’s definitely been FUN! Sharing so much pottery — My own pots, my collected pieces, pots by so many other fine potters. Sharing the successes — The pots-with-food that went perfectly together. Even the non-successes — The pots that I ‘intended’ to write about, but then they didn’t shoot well; and the foods I ‘intended’ to write about, but they didn’t shoot well. It’s been Five years of TASTY fun!!
I cannot believe it’s been FIVE years! But you’ll notice FIVE Raspberries on that decadent Chocolate Cake (above). So I’m celebrating Five years of Blogging with my annual Give-Away! For Five years, I’m offering FIVE Pots!
