ever wonder what makes something popular? {top posts from a few faves}

Hey there!  Happy Day to you! If you’ve been following along on Facebook you know we didn’t close on the house yesterday. #whatchagonnado?  We’re pretty much (meaning totally, 100%, without a doubt, nothing we can do at this point, they’ve got us by the cajones) at the whim of the bank who seems to have no sense of urgency around actually finalizing the process. So, I’ve been busying myself during this little transition period of ours working on this blog’s backside back end inner workings. Being a part of this post actually got me focusing on what are our top posts, analyzing what it is that you guys like to read about, tend to pin and in general have the most positive reactions to.  Which also got me thinking about what the top posts where for some of my favorite reads. Aren’t you ever curious about what has been someone’s biggest hit and why?  Is it a drop dead gorgeous room reveal or an informative tutorial or super simple quick tip? I am, so I thought I’d ask … and you have got to check out these great posts!

what a difference a year makes

How is everyone today?  Happy Last Day of the Year!  Can you believe it?  I can hardly believe it is the last day of 2012.  Where did it all go? I remember last New Year’s Eve like it was yesterday … well, at the least everything before, let’s say, 10pm.  ;)  Kidding. What better way to wrap up the year in a fancy little bow than to recap a few of our favorite projects and posts from 2012.

31 things

Happy Blogiversary to us!  Me and you.  This blog and these readers.  We’re a match made in Heaven, really.  :) This first year on the blog has been Ah. May. Zing!!!  Seriously. A HUGE window to the world wide web of like minded people like YOU. So thank you for being here too. In honor of this first year blog anniversary, I thought it’d be fun to share 31 random things you might not know about me and this blog. And even as I type that I’m thinking “I’m not sure anyone cares”, but whatev. In October the Nester has an annual series called 31 days. Her challenge is to pick a topic to blog about every day in October.  For 31 days. Challenge equals not excepted.  ;) Not only do I not have anything interesting for other people that I’d like to write about for 31 straight days.  I don’t really have any interest in blogging for 31 days straight.  Helloooo.  That’s like everyday.  ;) So here is my very own 31 things version.

who the heck are you?

This week marks a milestone here at the space between.  (Ceeeeeee-le-brate good times, come on!) *I do not know those people.  We’ve been here, spewing out randomness to you for one whole year! Can you believe it?  Me either.  ;) I can honestly say I had no idea what I was doing when I hit publish on my very first post. *I’m not making a political statement here, just a confused statement.
