Celebrating 1809


 My blog is 10 years old today. 

10 years ago today I started The Altered Page. I feel so very fortunate that all these years later, my blog is still going strong. I had no idea back in August 2007 where this venture would lead and am grateful for all the creative opportunities that have come my way as a result. I am on the ride of my life and enjoying every minute. 

I send thanks to each and every one of you for your visits, comments and support. I would not be where I am without you and am thrilled to be part of this creative community.

Some interesting factoids:

-My blog started 1 year after Twitter was born and 3 years before the existence of both Instagram and Pinterest. Facebook was already a toddler at 3 years old.

-In that time I have published 1,809 posts - which averages to just about 1 post every two days.

-Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's was the number one song on the day of my first post.

-The number one movie that day was Rush Hour 2.

-It took 11 days before I got my first comment. Thanks a million Esmeralda.

-You amazing people have left a total of 35,986 comments on my posts (not including spam).

-I am still using the original template I started with, a canned design which I now look at as a vintage throwback. You know, kind of like a flip phone.

-Having a blog completely changed my life and has sincerely enabled me to be the artist I am today.
