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"!!!

"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!!!

Holy, Moly Girlfriend!
I think your party was a huge success! Look at all the participants and look at all the comments! You sure know how to throw a blog party girl! Thinking of you, hope all is well.

Hi Chari, It was my pleasure to join you for your Sunday Favorites "One Year" birthday celebration! Yes, you are correct the cherub angel in my bathroom is holding a sweet bunny (I'll send you a close up photo of him) and the cherub on my nightstand is also holding a bunny. All total I have three of those same cherubs that my husband had bought me. Can one have enough angels in their life? I don't think so! Thank you for your very sweet comment on my Angel collection and for welcoming me so warmly to Sunday Favorites. God blessed me with another angel, and that angel is "YOU"!
Hugz,
Kim

What a cute idea to repost old favorites. Some of my past sharing on my blog I would like to share again. There are so many great blogs and this is my first on yours. Thanks for having the drawing.
I have just become a follower.
HAPPY B'DAY SUNDAY FAVORITES! It doesn't seem like a year ago this brain child of yours was born. I thought it was such a fabulous idea when you gave birth to this idea. I haven't participated as much as I thought I would, because I didn't have as many favorite posts as I thought I did. It has grown into a big one-year-old, and I'm so happy for you. laurie
I tried to get to another post to leave this note but your blog kept coming up here.
Please stop by my blog. There is something you deserve waiting for you.
