Entry #3608, August 15, 2014
Every year I look back from the August 15th of the previous year to the current one and am amazed by the wonderful blessings that have been bestowed upon me! On August 15, 2009 Stagetecture was a “no-name” blog with a place to collect my home staging and organizing ideas. 5 years later, and 3500+ posts later, Stagetecture is visited by hundreds of thousands of readers and I couldn’t have done it without you, my family, my colleagues, and the wonderful friends that touch me daily in all of my social media communities.
