It all started when I was brand.spankin.new to this whole blogging thing. Getting to know women from all over the country, sharing secrets and heart issues, building friendships with people you had never met?? Well, to be honest it all felt a little weird. I thought about how I could actually feel like these friendships were real and the only way to do that was to actually see these women in real life.
And I am so glad I did.
Over the past year, I have gotten to know some of you pretty well and I'd like to think you've gotten to know me, too. I always love getting to see the blogger in their element- hearing what their voice sounds like, seeing their mannerisms- it just feels like you know them for real, ya know?
And I've loved what y'all have shared:
February 2012 was a general get to know you link up
March 2012 we shared what we were learning lately
April 2012-- ok ok I dropped the ball and missed this month
May 2012 we shared our most favorite beauty products
June 2012 we shared what our readers might not know about us
July 2012 we shared goals and what we'd like to begin, accomplish or change
August 2012 we shared how blogging has changed us
September 2012 we shared where our own influence was
October 2012 we shared 3 items we couldn't make it through the day without
November 2012 we shared awkward stories about ourselves
December 2012 we shared our favorite holiday traditions
January 2012 we shared what we'd gained from the blogging community
And you guys, no lie, I have watched and commented on all 478 videos.
I just plain like y'all. So, Monday, February 25, lets do it again, shall we? But this time, I want to give y'all the freedom to talk about whatever you want. But consider that if everyone ACTUALLY kept their videos under 3 minutes that means I would have watched 23.9 hours worth of vlogs last year.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Girl Behind the Blogiversary! This will be my first time participating and I'm excited :)
ReplyDeleteI've never done it but really want to, so I will try super hard to remember and link up. I always love watching all the others!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when February rolled around. TGBTB was the first vlog I did, and the link-up announcement got me so excited. Although I've fallen off the vlogging wagon since grad school started, I love watching your videos. I'll do my best to record something so I can finally link-up again! You are incredible for creating and hosting this link-up month after month, and I know that so many of us look forward to it, whether we had the time to record a vlog or not. You are wonderful, Ash!
ReplyDeletewoot!!! woot!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never done one of these but I've been doing coffee dates with Alissa for a while now so I am stoked to get on board!
ReplyDeleteI have never done one but I would love to be able to join. I just don't know.
