Hard to believe it was a year ago today that ChipzQuipz got its start. Had it not been for that near fatal toothpaste choking incident (subject of the first blog post), ChipzQuipz may still be just another flighty idea spinning in my head. As a thank you, to all of you for reading this past year, I have assembled a collection of some of my favorite and some of your favorite photos from the year. I hope you enjoy them just as much the second time around. 1 year and 12,000 page views. Wow! I swear only 11,999 of them are my own page views (wink). Thanks for a fun year!

What a great review of your first year...there are some amazing pictures, but none as spectacular as the photo of Nyxy. I hope your next year is as good as the first. Its a shame that you'll miss the chipzquipz anniversary party being held here tonight in your honor. LOL
ReplyDeleteAwesome review of your work. I'm sure it was hard to pick which pictures to include, when you've had so many great ones over the past twelve months. Can't wait to see more in the coming year!
ReplyDeleteDenise,

Love ya,
