1st Blogiversay | A Whole Year of The Sopho Diaries

Hi lovelies!

So today is a very special day at Chateaux Sopho Diaries. This little blog of mine is a whole year old. That means that i've been a blogger for an entire year! Now I don't want to get all soppy with you all and go on an emotional ramble, but as I sat here, 12 months ago, attempting to negotiate layouts, fonts and photo sizes, I had no idea how much I would grow to love it. Blogging was always a hobby for me, a little (very girly) corner of the internet where I could chatter away, where I could write and where I could utterly be  myself. I had no idea that people would actually be interested about the little happenings of a twenty something girl from sleepy Devon. My blog has become a huge part of my life and last year I had some brilliant opportunities because of it.  This year i'm going to get properly on the blogging ball, i'm going to make it as successful a year as I can possibly make it.


I also just want to thank some people (apologies that this sounds as if i'm picking up some kind of award...). I want to thank my family, my dad especially for supporting my blog, no questions asked. He's my biggest fan and I can always rely on him to give me that little push I need when I've felt like i've lost my blogging mojo. Dan, for always being on hand to take as many photos as I need him to, being on my case to make me find time to blog when things all get on top of me and generally being pretty lovely. He has the patience of a saint. Similarly, my friends (you know who you are) who have embraced my blogging almost as much as me and are always ready to help out... even if that does mean not being allowed to eat anything until i've photographed it, taking outfit photos when we're out and about and always being happy to be featured. You're all amazing and I love you all dearly.


That brings me to you guys. The people that visit this little site again and again and leave lovely lovely comments. If I could hug you all I would. You've made me realise that I can actually do this and for that i'll be eternally grateful. I love talking to you on twitter, i've met some incredible people through blogging and next year I hope to meet so many more.

So from me, thank you for reading, and to my blog, Happy Blogiversary!

Lots of love, hugs and gratitude,
