September Thankfulness

Welcome to my first monthly Thank You post.  This is when I take the time to thank all of the wonderful people who support this blog.  I will usually do this on the first of the month but October is going to be a little crazy so I am getting a head start this time.

Thanks For Your Sponsorship!

"A Mother Seeking... [AMS]   is an eclectic blog, just like its creator.  I call AMS a blog in 3 parts.  I: My Musings on life, parenting, joy and the passage of time.  II: My Thoughts on Issues in the Field of Education (by profession, I am a Learning Specialist).  And III: My Crafty/DIY Endeavors.  

All three parts add up to a blog that defies a simple label, just like me!  

I say why have a single-themed blog when you can triple the fun, inspiration & insight?!"

A Mother Seeking is my very first sponsor and I couldn't be more excited.  It means so much to me when someone supports my blog like that.  She has a great blog and this Chevron EAT Sign is just one of her fun crafty endeavors:

The Elephant's Trunk was the winner of my advertisement giveaway!  She has some fun items in this Etsy shop like decorative wine corks and this Big Red Wine Bloom:

Thanks For Shopping!


I wasn't sure if my new shop would be successful and it has turned out to be a bigger hit then I ever could have imagined.  I received thirteen orders in the first week alone!  I am so excited about what this new business means for my family and for this blog.  You can look forward to lots of fun new tutorials as a result of this extra income.  :)  So far, the Hanging Zero is the most popular item in the shop which makes me happy since he is one of my favorites as well.

Thanks For The Features!
A bunch of blogs were kind enough to feature my projects this month and I am amazed and overwhelmed by all of their kind words.  Thank you all so much.  :)

 

Thanks For The Awards!

 

These ladies were kind enough to give me a few blog awards.  It takes a lot of time to write up blog awards posts (time that I would prefer to use writing tutorials and checking out all of your fabulous projects) so I am not able to pass these awards on to others.  I feel so honored that they thought of me though and their blog is amazing so you should head over and check it out!

Thanks For Reading!

Of course I can't go without thanking all of my wonderful readers.  The month isn't even over yet and it has already been the biggest month in the history of this blog!  As in...twice as big as any other month.  That's crazy!  I am so thankful for all of my readers friends.  If it weren't for all of you, I wouldn't even be writing this blog.  And since I am a total dork and think statistics are fun, here are some of the stats for September so far:

37,777 Page Views
