My second blog header (the first being a generic Blogger template one) - September 2009
I clearly talk too much.
I suppose it's partly the fault of my Project 365 photos. They do, after all, get a post each all to themselves; that's 365 posts through 2010 plus the ones so far from 2011.
First Project 365 photo, January 2010
And then, Shimelle definitely takes some responsibility. Her classes, particularly Learn Something New Every Day and Journal Your Christmas, do tend to inspire many layouts and other projects, and hence blog posts about them.

And of course there are the blog hops. I've taken part in several of those - so I can apportion some blame to Rinda, to Amy, to Jo and Lizzie, to Kate - oh, and I ran one myself, so I guess I'd better take some blame onto myself, too!
OK, this one was definitely my fault! All About Me blog hop, May 2010
Blogtoberfest, yes, that's definitely another reason for the proliferation of posts. Clearly that encouraged me to post every day when maybe, possibly, I wouldn't have otherwise?!
Joyful Mel and SuperMel were both created as part of Blogtoberfest 2009
And frankly, dear readers and commenters, I think some of the responsibility lies with YOU. It's so much more fun to witter away when I know someone's actually reading said witterings!
So I guess that means I owe all of you a big thank you then, because I have had SO much fun creating those 1000 posts, sharing my photographs, joining in the blog hops and challenges, and making lots of new friends :-)
I think this calls for a giveaway :-) I'm already in the process of putting together goodies for those who signed up to my Pay It Forward post. Indeed, Helena has already received a little something from me - remember the sneak peeks? Well, the handmade notebook and Malteser cake have arrived safely, so I can show you a little more now:
As I'm in the mood for making handmade gifts, I'd love to give away a little handmade something to celebrate my 'first K'. It would be made specially for you, and would take into account your tastes and preferences - I have a little questionnaire ready to send to you to ascertain what those tastes and preferences are!! There's no obligation to then Pay It Forward, this is a straightforward giveaway. And those who are on my PIF list are welcome to enter, too; if you did win, you'd get an extra 'something' on top of your PIF 'something' :-)
So, would you like the chance to win a little something? Just leave a comment on this post! I'll pick a random winner this weekend, so make sure you comment by 5pm GMT on Sunday 6th February to be included in the draw. I'll announce the winner as soon as possible after this time. Good luck!
Here's to the next 1000....
* Edited to say: Comments are now closed. The winner will be announced tomorrow morning (GMT) *

Oops posted this on the wrong thread just now!
