top 5

As I've been blogging my way this month I have noticed I've picked up a few new followers (hi, welcome!) which is lovely, but I think sometimes you really need to get the full picture, the back story of a blogger to feel totally welcome in their little pocket of the web. So I've gone back and revised some of my most popular, most clicked on or most commented on posts from the past 18 months (goodness has it been that long?!). 

Here they are...

1. Bloggers Stripped Bare - a pleasant surprise to find that this is actually one of my most clicked on posts. It just goes to show that a face behind a name or words on a screen can really connect readers to writers.

2. Little Mrs Emma - I was overwhelmed with well wishes when I announced a question had been popped with an after work drink on the back of the ute. This is by far my favourite post, I often read it and it stills gives me butterflies and goosebumps.

3. Wet Weekend - a surprise favourite, I didn't know this was one of my most popular posts until I had a look in my Google Analytics, handy little feature it is!

4. Our Black Saturday - again overwhelmed with people's responses to a post which took me a long time to write, as I wanted to write it properly, and then a long time to push the publish button. 

5. Paper Butterflies - a DIY tutorial in how I made our butterflies that hung in our bedroom in the cottage has proved wildly popular, in fact is my most clicked on post other than my tabs up there. These now hang in our lounge room in the ramshackle farmhouse, but may be relocated shortly (stay tuned).

And there you have it, my top 5 posts from my time as a blogger. I've had lots of fun as well as some very reflective moments reading back through all my posts. If you are new here, or even if you're not, I hope you take the time to look around, you might be surprised what you find!
