just in the nick of time… I almost missed it! Today was a crazy day and I’ve been trying all day to get to this post. A year ago today was the day my blog went live to the world. I had a few previous entries but made it live on June 8th and the first ever home tour (beside my own) was how I launched the blog. It was the home of Jamie and Larry Oliver…”some people are just born with it” - still one of my absolute favorites. I could never have imagined the changes in the last year would have ever come into my world. After many years of contemplation finally starting my own graphic design studio, writing for FD Luxe - my favorite local fashion publication (oh, and ps, I’m not a writer!), venturing into home decoration (and I’m not a decorator) and press? Crazy. And what’s shocking is it’s all as a result of the blog. The blog has allowed me to be so much more creative in other ways I never dreamed. It has pushed my life as an artist. I am so lucky and blessed. I have all of you who read my blog to thank. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and comments. It keeps me going. I’m truly thankful for the sponsors of the blog. I’m very careful about who I partner with on the blog. I want all of the products to be something I would buy or somewhere I would shop. A very big thank you to to everyone who has supported me this year. Bless you all and may all of your wildest dreams come true. Lots of love and positive thoughts to each of you beautiful people!

Love your blog! Found it recently through Atlantis Home. I am a Dallas girl who now lives in NYC. Love your style. Congrats on you success!
Congratulations! I really enjoy reading your blog! I started my own blog about 2 months ago and I love it.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I found you through your favorites list over at Simple Lovely. I have fall in love… love with your room designs (your house will always be my favorite) and was thrilled to see a small collection of them at your Neiman Marcus show, which was AWESOME. My girlfriends and I just salivated at how amazingly talented you are. Congrats for a successful year and thanks for brightening up my days.
Congratulations! The style/SWOON blog has showcased the full extent of your talent and vision that we, in the graphic design community, already knew you had. I’m very proud, and here’s to year number two!
Wow, Sammy! I can’t believe that it was a year ago that we were texting each other at midnight about possible names for your blog! I am so proud & happy for your success & not at all surprised! You are an amazing designer & I’m glad that everyone else out there knows that too. But what all of your many blog followers don’t know is what an amazing person you are. You are the most loyal, generous & caring friend out there. Much love & congratulations on your bloggaversary!
No, thank you for blogging!! I always look forward to having a few minutes of downtime each day to read your wonderful musings. I have your blog to thank for the introductions to great shops, peeks into amazing homes, exposure to Dwell with Dignity and a heads up on fun events like the Dallas Flea. Keep up the great work.
You deserve every success that has come to you. Your personality and talent shine in all you do. I am very happy for you and proud of your accomplishments!
I love your blog and also appreciate the time you put into the design and content of it, congrats!
I love your Blog!
This blog post really struck a chord with me as I am starting a fledgling venture of my own with wide eyed expectations. Look what a year can do…Congrats to you on an artful blog that I look forward to on a daily basis!
