Melificent is a year old!
Although all my major plans fell through: no one submitted any videos (sad face), the hubs is backed up & doesn’t have time to work on a new layout for me (boo) and things have just gotten too complicated for an anniversary photoshoot, I still didn’t want my one year anniversary to come and go without any mention.
When I started this blog, it was mainly out of Livejournal withdrawals. I needed somewhere, something to write my ideas, thoughts and just general rants in. I had spent too many years with a blog and felt empty without one. I never imagined so many people would be reading about my life and my interests, much less following it religiously as some of you have admitted to doing. I also thought the idea of posting daily was really daunting, I figured it would drain me and I would eventually get sick of it and just give up. Never ever would I have thought that it would be anything but a chore. Granted, I’ve had my moments where life catches up to me and I can’t post regularly, but those have been far and few between. I genuinely love my blog and look forward to writing posts to share with all of you.
My first year has been more than I could ever dream, and I hope Melificent only continues to grow. I have a feeling my second year will be amazing – I have a lot of projects on the horizon and can’t wait to share them all with you here on the blog!
I love you all and want to thank each and every one of my readers for making me a valuable member of the blogosphere!
Feel free to share your thoughts & feelings about my blog in the comments!

Happy 1st birthday to Melificent! I love this blog Mel; I recently added it to my “Favorites” Bar on my browser because I got too lazy to type the URL into the address bar every time I wanted to read one of your posts.
Keep it up with all the gorgeous pictures and the interesting topics. It’s SUCH a fun blog, it has your distinct voice, and it’s full of personal touches that are rare on the internet.
Lots of hugs and kisses to you (to any readers who may find this show of affection odd, please understand that I’ve known the author of Melificent since we were both 5 years old, LOL), and lots of blessings and growth for your blog!
