The Collective Social Blog Hop

(I'm still in love with my wedding... this was our table settings.)

It's hard to believe that 3 months ago I was kicking around the idea of starting a blog. I just assumed that people wrote their own thing and some other people might read it. Foolish me! I had no idea there was such a community of bloggers out there giving each other props and inspiring each other. Then there was the discovery of blog hops! Holy Moly, What a source of amazing blogs to read. The first (and one of the best) blog hops I took part in was The Collective Social Blog Hop... and so I am very proud this week to be sponsoring it. Have a go! It's a lot of fun!

Welcome to the weekly blog hop party, The Collective Social Blog Hop.

This is a link up for bloggers who want to gain followers and meet awesome people.
