Two years ago today......

......I wrote my first blog post! My friends Mollie and Nikki convinced me to start a blog of my own to share all of my sewing and painting projects....and Lil Blue Boo started from there! Here is my first post.....short and sweet:


Two years and one day ago I had no idea what a blog was....the first blog I ever read was Homemade by Jill and I was truly inspired to share my own perspective:


I am so humbled that so many of you choose to read this blog and that you share so many of your projects that you've been inspired to create. Thank you for accompanying Boo and I on this ongoing journey! We have so many new projects in my "idea" book to come.

I couldn't do any of this without my supportive husband and of course my inspiration: Boo. My sponsors are a huge part as well because they allow me to work full time on Lil Blue Boo. I also have an amazing assistant Lisa who is the only reason I haven't crumbled under the pressure of running a clothing line and keeping up with the blog! She has amazing patience because she is here ALL day, EVERY day....but the best part is that we get to involve our kiddos. They run around playing with fabric and pretending to be mini "clothing designers":




Make sure to stay tuned for next week....we have a surprise to celebrate the 2 year anniversary!

Have a wonderful day!!

    Way cool Ashley, I can't believe the possibilities when hard work and determination, are there, it seems the sky is the limit. I wish you much more success, and I know you can only get more awesome. The girls are such fun, I look forward to my kids helping me out one day, in whatever it I end up doing.

    Hugs,
