I HEART: An inspiration project

Click on photo for source

First of all thank you SO MUCH for the happy anniversary wishes :)

I really appreciate it!

Now, for the exciting project I hinted at yesterday. Remember this post about inspiration notebooks?

Well, I've decided to start a project using an inspiration notebook called I HEART. Everyone who chooses to participate may claim two pages (double page spread), as shown below:

The object is to fill the pages with whatever is inspiring you at the moment (pictures and words alike), then pass it on to the next person and so on, so that the notebook slowly makes its way around the world.

^^Slightly tweaked this to make this more time efficient. Stay tuned for the update :)

If you are interested in being a part of this project, please comment (or email me!) providing me with your name and city/country so that I can put the together a list.

Sign-ups are now closed.

One-year blogging anniversary!

Click on photo for source

Well, my lovelies, today marks the day in which exactly a year ago, I wrote my first blog post. Crazy to think it's been a whole year since I started this bloggity blog. It's hard to remember what I did on the computer before blogging!

I'm so happy to have broken 1,000 followers via Google and 2,000 via RSS before my one-year blogging anniversary. So here's to you, my dear readers and followers, for this blog wouldn't exist without you!

Today is the day to make yourself known to me if you have been reading The Drifter and the Gypsy. Please comment so I know who you are!

Don't forget to follow The Drifter and the Gypsy via Google (on the sidebar), Bloglovin', RSS, Facebook, and Twitter!

...And finally, thank you to my lovely sponsors who support The Drifter and the Gypsy. Please take the time to stop by their sites. Remember that December ad spots are now open to reserve, so if you're interested, please email me for ad rates: thedrifterandthegypsy@yahoo.com.

Let's make year two even better than the first!

*Tomorrow is another very special post. It's a project to celebrate my one-year blogging anniversary and I know you'll love it. That's all I'll say ;)

Awards

Okay, so this is long overdue, but I have received two awards-one from Quenchant of the Curious and the other from Dream Chymecindy.

Seven random facts for the Kreativ Blogger Award:

I am a vegetarian and love it

I spend SO MUCH time blogging and coming up with things to blog-maybe too much time ;)

I drink copious amounts of green tea

I've recently started drawing again-mainly because I needed something to distract me from the computer!

I loooove old movies. So if you have any suggestions, please comment ;)

I wish I could see more of the world

Galaxie Andrews

I am loving these fashion shots by Galaxie Andrews for Ouma Clothing.

Would you guys like to see more fashion editorials on this blog? Or more of this type of stuff? Or something totally different?

Feedback, please :)

Kristy Campbell

I am in love with the simplicity and muted tones of Kristy Campbell's photographs. She also has a blog.

I can't decide whether I like this type of photography better or more fashion-y editorials. What do you think?
