Cheers to Ten Years

Amber's Craft a Week blog turned 10 last week!  I'm in the thick of a major project right now, and didn't have time to write a post on the actual blogversary, but I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your support and interest in this blog for this past decade.  It means a lot to me.

When I started this blog ten years ago, I had no real plan for it.  I just wanted to create some sort of blog, and I was kind of good at crafting, so a craft blog seemed like a natural choice.

Producing enough new crafts to keep this blog going has given me plenty of opportunities to hone my crafting skills.  I have been able to create projects I would not have dreamed of attempting when I first started out.  I am grateful for all that I have gained through maintaining this blog.

Halloween is usually my big season on this blog, especially in recent years.  In fact, about a quarter of all the crafts I've posted I've tagged as Halloween.  I do have big plans for this Halloween season, but I'm not sure if I'll get to all of them, or if I'll be able to post detailed breakdowns of the projects I do create each week between now and November first.  You see, for this past year, I've been working on finishing up a novel I've had in the works for longer than I've had this blog.  I've completely overhauled it and am finally getting close to the home stretch.  Getting that off my plate in a timely fashion is my priority at the moment, which may mean fewer or less detailed blog posts until that is done.  But we'll see what happens.

Thank you to all of you for taking the time to view my blog, whether you're new or you've been here since the start.  I really appreciate it.  Here's to ten more years.

Like the glitter drip wine glass in the photo at the top of the page?  Here's how I made it.  I thought it would be fun to incorporate one of my older crafts into this post, and it fit well with the "cheers to ten years" theme.
