French Sampler Is One


I can't believe it is one year since I started French Sampler, how time flies.  I started blogging after reading an  article about Blogging in 'The Sunday Times' written by India Knight, at first I was a lurker reading the wonderful blogs of Liberty London Girl, La Belette Rouge (my first follower) and French Essence, after being inspired by them I took the plunge and started French Sampler.

I find blogging so rewarding, there are so many fabulous, talented people out there and now I have also had the pleasure of meeting virtual people in reality and they are as fabulous in reality as they are in the Blogosphere.

So I raise my glass and drink a toast to all of you, who read French Sampler, comment and follow, put up with my questionable grammar and dreadful punctuation, I toast all of you who have wonderful blogs, that make me laugh, make me think, make me want to part with my money, educate me and  leave me spellbound by the sheer beauty of their content.

    Every single one of your posts is worth reading and as I was extremely busy lately I was reading it on my BlackBerry in the few breaks I have during the day.

  10. Dear Dash,
    I have to admit I am shocked, I assumed you were a seasoned pro given your seemingly effortless writing style, tasteful design and flawless image editing.
    I know you have inspired me. I have seen many knock offs of your blog, take it as a compliment.
    Congratulations and thank you for providing a beautiful safe harbor from the rough seas of life.

    Thanks so much for your wonderful comments at mine and Ruth's blog. It was lovely to meet you too. I would miss blogging so much if I stopped doing it. It's like having a big group of penpals that you write to daily.

    Thank you for sharing so much information on people I would never have thought to look up, it's always a pleasure xx
