Sunday Favorites "One Year" Birthday Celebration!

*
Welcome to the 52nd Sunday Favorites...
"One Year" Birthday Celebration!!!

*

*
"Happy Birthday to youuu...Happy Birthday to youuuu...
Happy Birthday Dear Sunday Favorites...Happy Birthday to youuuu"!!!
*

*
Hello my friends!
*
Well it's here! It's here at last...the 52nd run of Sunday Favorites!!!
*
And...as you know...52 weeks equal one year! Today is the birthday of Sunday Favorites...she is one year old today!
*
Happy Birthday Sunday Favorites!!!
*
As many of you know, Sunday Favorites is a Sunday meme designed to give bloggers a chance to share a post from the past. If you will allow me, I would love to give you just a little history of how Sunday Favorites was born. You and I know as bloggers, that we just love to get a post out...some may post everyday...some post two or three times a week...whatever the amount, we all work very hard to get a post published! Well...one busy weekend, a year ago, I was hoping to get a post up and going, however time just got away from me! For many of us, the weekends are just a busy, busy time. Don't you just hate when real life gets in the way of our blogging? Hehe!
*
Anyway the thought occurred to me that I could just copy and paste one of my favorite past posts. After all, I had spent alot of time and effort preparing many of them. It was just kind of sad how they seem to get lost and forgotten about under the myriad of new posts! Hmm...and it wouldn't take any time at all to just "copy and paste" one of those posts and republish it. It seemed like the perfect solution...I could share, once again, one of my favorite posts and I could get a post published for the weekend and it wouldn't take much time! Thus...Sunday Favorites was born!!!
*
One Year Later...
*
So here we are...one year later! Sunday Favorites is celebrating its 52nd run and "One Year" birthday! I have had so much fun hosting this Sunday meme and the participants have certainly shared some fabulous posts this past year!!! I would just like to say a big ol' hearty thank you to the Sunday Favorites participants and the Sunday Favorites readers for making this little Sunday meme so successful!!! I just couldn't have done it without you, dear friends!!!
Thank you...thank you...THANK YOU!!!

  6. And here's my fourth chance dear Chari! Hehe. I hope I did this right! I love that tea rose bedroom! You know, I think it is just about the prettiest bedroom ever! The lamp Gloria sent you is just too beautiful! She is a talented gal too. I remember this on RMS and I remember when I only followed the Tea Rose Bedroom blog. I kept waiting and waiting for a new post and then I smartened up and realized you had another blog! Oh, I am so glad I did!
    This give-away is just awesome, you are sooo generous! Congrats on a wonderful year of blogging and hosting this party! Your the best,
    Big Hugs,
    Cindy

  12. Good morning Chari,
    Thank you for including me. I read somewhere yesterday that by reposting old blogs it could actually be very good for the blogging account. They went on to explain dated material and how people typically won't read something that is from way back in time. So if that is true then your Par-tay is really super awesome because it gives seasoned bloggers a chance to update and repost. At least I hope- what I thought I understood-is correct! lol. So how confused I am!

    Thanks again :)) Have a blessed weekend!

  130. Chari, I'm embarassed after doing Sunday Favorites for a while now and having your SF logo on my sidebar since I started, I find I forgot to be a follower. Well how silly of me. I am now - won't have to click your SF logo when I want to see what you're up to. LOL

  156. Thank you for your lovely comment:) I had meant to post the tutorial for wedding bouquets but that is okay, I'll participate in Sunday Favorites again. I'll get it right next time.

    I was hoping you could answer a question for me, when returning comments to people who have left them on my blog, would it be better to respond to them on theirs or leave a response on mine? Maybe doing both?

    Thank you again:)
