Lily Wight ~ The Arcade Of Arts & Arcana is one year old today!!!
That’s 315 posts, over 37,000 visitors, 4,240 followers across 8 social networks, recommendations and shares from Anne Rice and Clive Barker and a personal record of 1,835 visits in one glorious day.
I never envisaged such an encouraging response when I launched my first hesitant blog post.
Please re-acquaint yourself right here: https://lilywight.com/2012/12/18/blog-post-of-the-year-2012-number-3/
What is a birthday without presents? I would like to thank and recommend the authors who gifted me these much appreciated blog awards;

Good grief! how on earth do you do it, Lily? I’ve been going about a year too and I think I don’t have a tenth of that footfall. Well done you! xxx
Anyway, just dropped by to say you got a mention in my latest post – it was your idea, in fact, so thank you 🙂

I’ve linked my blog to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest which helps to encourage visitors from other places.
A share from the right person can make all the difference too.
I’m sure someone out there will want to produce your calendar, I love seeing your posts and thank you so much for the mention x

Thanks Lily, very much appreciated! Hmm, never thought that, that someone might want to produce the calendar! I shall get some printed up, and sell them, but might not say no to sales of thousands if someone wanted to do it instead 😉
