In at the deep end! 100 posts and a give away!


You'll have noticed an anomaly- No Wordless Wednesday- Because instead I have reached my 100th post and decided that needed to be commented on instead!
 
Now for some of you, I'm sure 100 posts doesn't seem a lot- But I never imagined I would write a blog, never mind still be writing it a few months later!
I was, actually still am, a total novice when it comes to blog writing. When I started this whole malarkey back in February I was going to dabble a bit, just test the water so to speak and see how I got on. Five months later I don't think I've done so much as testing the water but ended up throwing myself whole heartedly into a virtual plunge pool!

There were many reasons why I wanted to blog- To be able to join in with photo challenges was the prime reason, and then use this page as an opportunity to share my photos with others. But it's now much more than that- I actually enjoy waffling on, talking about nothing!, I like the whole sense of community in the way we all share and comment. It's been so much more enjoyable than I thought it would be and has now just become a part of daily life.
 
I still can't fathom out how to put things on my pages, or how to make things a little easier to find. I will never be techno savvy- but I'm slowly working my way around and eventually it may be as I want it:)
 
I thought I would perhaps write a post a week or maybe two in a week- Instead I have ended up posting, some weeks, nearly everyday!  I do wonder whether I'll get bored or run out of things to say- But actually I don't think I will- I always have a list of things I want to post about and then other things come along and I add them to my list as well!
 
I'm sure people will get bored soon!
 
But until that happens I will continue to write and put on photos and share a bit more of my world.
 
As a Thank You to those of you who actually read my posts, I'm going to give you the opportunity to earn a giveaway.
 
 
I've a couple of local products I thought you might like.
 Would you prefer a Patchwork batik bag, or some Batik cloth. All you have to do is state your preference and I'll then choose a couple of random winners next Wednesday.
 
 I'll be happy to send it anywhere- and then you can have your own little piece of Borneo, wherever you are in the world.
 
 So a big 'Thank You' to all those who have been along with me on this ride for a while- and for those who have just joined me recently- Thank you too!
Here's to another 100 posts- As I've said before, I don't think I'll run out of things to say and I definitely won't run out of photos.
 
Hopefully you'll be with me at 200 too!
 Good Luck with the Giveaway
Amanda

  7. Wow that came around quickly, I have always enjoyed reading and looking at your photography in your Blog. What a great giveaway I would be thankful for either, but I don't think you can ever have to many bags. Greenthumb
