Happy 3rd Blog Birthday!!

Nov 27, 2012 | 31 Comments

The idea came about, about six months prior to this, but my official, Day 1 on WordPress, first NDAD post ever, was three years ago today, on November 27, 2009.  Wowsa.

New Dress A Day - Day 1 of Blogging - November 27, 2009

It all started here…

It’s a little crazy hitting this fun birthday/milestone and what an amazing ride it has been!!

New Dress A Day - Day 1 of Blogging - Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

I just got this photo from my Aunt Patti who titled it “you were refashioning in the 80s” which is most definitely true.  With her shirt, it looks like I turned it into a dress by cinching the waist with a hot belt and added my sneaks.  I would totally wear those sneaks now if I had them in my size.

We’ve only just begun!!  Such fun and new things on the horizon…2013 is going to be a very good year :)

    WOW three years!!! I can remember listening to the Fish radio station 2 1/2 years ago and the weather/traffic gal (Heidi Rue, love that name) was talking about this fantastic web site NDAD. I went home and looked you up and was totally blown away! (I still am :]) I too look forward to getting my daily fix. We never know why things happen, but God works in so many unexpected ways. What an awesome 3ys. Looking forward to 2013 and the inspiration you will shower us all with. Happy 3rd Birthday!
