| Celebration |
Dear friends Thank you so much for dropping by! Excited to share that recently this blog crossed 5 million page views!! WooHoo I can't believe it!! And to celebrate I am hosting a giveaway with yummy prizes from some fabulous sponsors !!
When I started this blog in 2010 to share a few cards and school projects I never imagined it would become such a popular site!!
When I started this blog in 2010 to share a few cards and school projects I never imagined it would become such a popular site!!
In fact I find it rather surprising and hard to believe due to a couple of reasons:--- [Hehe the numbering is my analytical brain at work!]
- I am not a professional or hugely talented crafter and create mostly simple unsophisticated projects
- I don’t have a .com website [they are supposed to get more traffic!]
- And I am not extremely active on social media!! [Apart from blogging I can handle just the occasional Facebook post when I am in the mood!]

| Blog Stats |
But I do have nearly 200 tutorials on my blog and I get a good amount of traffic from Google because I give a bit of attention to simple search engine optimisation on my posts [you can read more about SEO and other easy blogging tips here: 8 Blogger Tips and 10 Tips to a better Blog].

| My Treasured Followers |
But the main reason I am still blogging and this blog is clocking 5 million page views is that I have the most wonderful readers one could wish for:
- My treasured blog followers who constantly encourage me with comments on my blog posts- without your support this blog would have long ago bit the dust!
- Parents and teachers who email me telling me how the ideas on school projects helped them
- “Non crafters” who mail me to thank me how a tutorial helped them to make a handcrafted gift for their loved one
- Bloggers who link to my tutorials and make all the time and effort put into writing tutorials totally worth it!
- And crafters who flatter me by telling me I am their inspiration to craft and even start blogging!
To celebrate with all of you I am hosting a giveaway which will last the whole month. And here are the details:-
