Not bad I think, writing 100 posts in less than 9 months! I never thought I would have so much to write about when I wrote my first post in June 2011. Sometimes I would write lists of topics, I would even lie in bed and try and compose little essays for my blog, and wonder whether what I wrote had any interest to anyone out there...
But slowly, I started getting more readers and more feedback from my posts and I started enjoying the interaction with my readers and blogging friends, and I´m having fun!!
That´s what it´s all about - fun and friendship.
At the time of posting this post, 8787 people from 90 different countries have visited! Wow, I find this amazing!
My blog is also a way to keep a sort of diary of my activities, my travels, my life...It will be fun to look back in a few years time and re-read these posts. Also, one day my "future" grandchildren will be able to read about their granny and her activities.
I´m now involved in the A-Z challenge and having great fun writing about my adoptive country - Australia.
On the right under the Australian flag, you will find a link to all 7 posts to date - A to F posts and A again!
Next week I will carry on with the G and so forth, I´m trying to do them alphabetically and have all topics mapped out.
In honour of my 100th post I would like to do a giveaway, which is open to all friends, followers or potential followers worldwide:
I will be giving two of you, a painted wooden box, decorated with the serviette technique, similar to these ones.

- Please leave a comment under this post with your chosen colour/colours, so I can paint one specifically to your taste. If you would like a specific theme for the serviette mention that, as I have hundreds of them, so I might have what you like: eg. flowers and colour of flowers...
- If you don´t have a blogger profile, leave your e-mail address, so that you can be rewarded if you are the winner. (to avoid spam into your account, write the e-mail address in this format: mary at gmail dot com"
- You can also leave a comment on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/sami-colourfulworldblog/238817216155544?sk=wall
- The giveaway will be open for two weeks, closing on Monday 12th March. The winner will be announced a few days later and of course notified via email and on a blog post.
So, participate and good luck!
CONGRATULATIONS Sami!
ReplyDelete100 posts in less than a year, that's quite and achievement :)
I remember when you first started your blog :) You've come a long way.
My favourite box would have to have pig(s) on :)
what a lovely idea! and congratulations on your 100th post! and here's to the next 100! :)
ReplyDeleteyour giveaway is a fab idea - I would choose anything blue that reminded me of the sea and/or the beach! (but I am sure the postage would be outrageous to PT so please I don't mind not winning!) :)
but happy happy blogging and looking forward to reading more from your lovely blog
Alyson
Congratulations on post 100!!
ReplyDeleteYes Carole, it seems such a long time ago... you were one of the bloggers that gave me a big start up with the link of the "codfish recipe". Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alyson...never mind the post, even if I take it with me next time I visit Portugal.
Thanks Emily.
Happy hundredth post =^..^= ♥
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's fun to reach milestones like this. My favorite colors are purple, teal, silver, white, and black (the colors of my wedding!) and my favorite flower/scent is lavender.
ReplyDelete100 posts! I'm so excited for you (and you reached it much faster than I did). I hope you know I always enjoy reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gemel, Lovely Light and Amanda.
ReplyDeleteI have Amanda to thank of course for being my "blogging teacher", my first post was written in her class.
Updated my ant post for you Sami :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sami! You deserve it, because you care about friendship. Big hug.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Sami!! Muitos Parabens!!! Espero que tenha havido um jantarinho de celebracao ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs minhas cores favoritas sao rosa velho e cor de latao envelhecido. Tambem gosto muito de purpura e branco. Quanto a imagens, gosto em tamanhos pequenos. Florinhas pequenas, por exemplo. Ou entao, sem imagens, so o efeito da cor.
Simples e discreto :-)
Beijinhos e Bom Domingo!!
Thanks Celeste and Thanks Sandra.
ReplyDeleteNo celebration dinner was had, I was preparing to celebrate my birthday with friends a few days later, so a lot to do in preparation...
Congratulations on your 100th post Sami, well done!
