JOC Blog Makes One Year Today!


Thank You to all of the wonderful crafters I have met in person and in blogland this past year. You've all been so kind, generous, encouraging and always, very inspiring! It's been so much FUN!

October is always a special month for the Joy of Crafting Show. We aired our first episode on OC16 on Sunday, October 20, 2002. We've made friends with many awesome crafters from around the world and we were happy to introduce them to all the local crafters who watched the show. Tomorrow night, our 169th show will premiere, wow, doesn't seem that many! And, it's all thanks to the support you all have given us through these years, we really couldn't have done it without you!

From the TV show and this blog, I have made many, many friends. I believe Crafting has done the same for many of you, too. So, I want to celebrate this blog's 1st birthday with three fellow crafters. Just leave a comment and tell me about a friend that you have made through your crafting. I will have Fridge randomly pick three names and each of you will win a Goodie Bag of stuff that will include a $25 Gift Card. And, you will also get a bonus Goodie Bag to share with a crafty friend!

So, please join my Virtual Party and RSVP with a comment by Friday, October 8th and maybe you and your friend will be one of the winners!

Again, Thank You for always supporting the Joy of Crafting show/blog and our Ben Franklin Craft stores! Have a great weekend and Happy Crafting!

  1. Hi Joy! Big congrats. So happy for you. I always love all the projects you share with us. Such creativity is very inspiring. I totally agree with you, through my blog I have met wonderful friends including you :) I love all my friends. A special friend from Hawaii is Linda. She is really nice and has a great sense of humor. We have a lot of things in common, we both love HK, Twilight, etc. And we are sharing a new crafty adventure too.
    Have a wonderful day! Hugs :)

  2. Hi Joy! Congrats on your 1 year blogaversary! That year sure flew by fast yah? Thanks for keeping the show going too- I watch it regularly for new ideas. I've made a bunch of new friends blogging- which is really awesome since I've never seem to find others who share the same interest as me- till now! I think its a great way to meet others who share the same passion for crafting!

  7. Happy One year anniversary :) time sure flies! I actually started my blogging adventures here. I always checked this website and then found out about the blogs. And Ive taken off every since. The blogging ladies are so sweet, especially cause Ive never met any of them being new to blogging. But I cant wait to meet more and love all the crafting inspirations on this blog and others like it!

  8. OMGosh! Congrats on the 1 year! Reminds me . . . my 1 year came and went in September!

    I've definitely connected with many, many crafting bloggers during my 1 year of blogging. To my surprise, I knew a few of them. It's been such a joy to share and get inspriation from others. I can write a whole list of names but one that comes to mind is a dear sweet friend, Brenda of Sweeet As A Gumdrop. She's ubber creative with those punches and the sweetest person you'll ever know! Always sharing, always giving! :)
