Happy Zombiversary!
May 4th, 2007
I’m a few days late, as it was the 1st anniversary of Happy Zombie on May 1st. What started out as Cheese Zombie, a blog of stuff, rants, observations, blah, blah, blah… not much fun and didn’t make me happy. And then, one happy day on May 1st, 2006… I discovered crafty blogs and I KNEW that was for me. And Happy Zombie was born. Still not potty trained - but a year old!
I celebrate because I’ve made bloggy friends IRL, online bloggy friends and bloggy friends who I want to meet IRL. All because of commenting in this crafty-blogging-loveland. I’ve been inspired, I’ve been moved, I’ve been touched, I’ve been flattered… it just goes on and on. Every one of you (and some I’ve yet still to discover, so comment please) has brought happiness and inspiration into my life. For fear of leaving someone out who’s impacted my life, please clicky clicky in my blogroll (The Lunch Box) to visit the bloggers who inspire and enrich my life.
To celebrate my blogiversary, one lucky commentor will receive from me a bundle of Wash Tub Prints. If this is what it takes to de-lurk you… so be it! HA! I am giving away something very special to me. The fabric designer of the Wash Tub Prints is my good friend Karen (my sister-friend) and I love to brag about her and all her successes. A little bit of me is in this fabric in the form of words. If you look at the panel print, you will see “All the days of the week, A happy life I shall keep“. Yup… that was “authored” by moi. It was tweaked a bit, as originally I penned it “Every day of the week, a happy home I shall keep“. So there you have it - the closest I’ll ever become to being a fabric designer. A bit of me to one of you. Please leave a comment and on the 8th of May (which is one week and one day after my Zombiversary) I will draw one lucky name. UPDATED: Changed to the 9th of May.
Hearts and crafts,
Monica :)

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
Happy Zombiversary to the sweetest blogger in blogland!! I’m so glad to have crossed cyber paths with you. Here’s to many, many more Zombiversaries!!! (now draw my name)
May 4th, 2007I have a lot of fun visiting your blog on a very regular basis! You’ve inspired so many, as well.
By the way, last night I was thumbing through Bundles of Fun and there you were - your name in lights! Exciting, I’m sure!
I’d love to have Wash Tub Prints but I never win anything so I won’t hold my breath. Sigh! :-)
Happy Blogiversary!
May 4th, 2007Oh no, I’m a wee bit sad :-( my blog doesn’t inspire or enrich your life. :-( My blog is not in your Lunchbox! :-( It’s ok, I’ll just be right here in my little corner of the world pouting. No, no don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine. :-(
HA… you are now! You SHOULD have been there (you are though in my Bloglines). So Missy Pouty… and where is YOUR blogroll? Tis I who pout now. :-p
May 4th, 2007Happy Zombieversary! I’m really glad I found you, I always look forward to new posts and more from Mimi!
May 4th, 2007Happy happy, Miss Zombie ;-) And happy to Mimi, too!! You always make me smile.
May 4th, 2007Happy Zombiversary!!!! Totally love your blog. My fingers are crossed. Oh boy, I hope I get lucky.
May 4th, 2007I just discovered your blog a couple of days ago from a link on another blog. I look forward to seeing more!
May 4th, 2007happy blogaversary! thanks again for the tips on astoria!
May 4th, 2007I love this place! I just love how Mimi writes about her adventures. I love the quilts, the colors. Everything makes me so happy when I stop by. Such an inspiration. Thank you. May I enter the contest.
May 4th, 2007Congratulations Happy Zombie! I’m glad to say that meeting new friends on crafty-blogland is so easy. And would like to meet each and everyone of them in person. Like this girl I know, who has this wonderful blog about crafting, food (great salad BTW), ideas, life and especially “Mimi”. She’s also generous, part-time fabric designer, pattern designer, a techie, funny, friendly nad super sweet. Yes Monica, you’re all that and a bag of chips! I wish you many happy blogiversaries to come.
May 4th, 2007…”and” super sweet. Not “nad” super sweet. I wouldn’t know anything about that! LOLOLOL!!!! I just thought of something dirty. lol!
Boy, i hate typos especially mine.
May 4th, 2007Happy anniversary, Monica! Thanks for sharing yourself in this blog. I love reading it and being inspired by it!
May 4th, 2007Oh my gosh…I am going gaga over that fabric!! I love visiting your blog and I’m so glad you are my friend:):) Happy anniversary!!! LOVE YOU!!!
May 4th, 2007I’m just glad you have this so we could stay connected with all the miles between us. Happy Zombiversary and many, many more (I hope!!). love ya chickee!! :)
May 4th, 2007Happy Bloggie-versary! I’m so glad I came across your cute little spot in blogland! For many reasons, but mainly because Oh dear lord, woman, you make me LAUGH!!! And what’s better than laughing and crafting? Oh, um,…maybe Hello Kitty, Laughing and Crafting…Perfect! The Bloggie Trifecta!
May 4th, 2007I have been subscribed to your log for about 3 months and have enjoyed reading it everyday. Thanks so much and it will be ok to just draw my name out of the little box!
May 4th, 2007I am new to this blog but I am really enjoying it. I look forward to reading more.
May 4th, 2007Happy Zombiversary my online friend (did I spell that right?) You’ve certainly brightened many of my days with tales of Mimi and pictures of your wonderful projects. I still am hoping that one of these days we can meet in person. Come warmer weather it will be time for me to hop in the car for a trip up through Astoria to stop and the primitive shop and on to Anna Lena’s. It would bore hubby to death so I’ll just have to find a quilty friend to drag along. It would be so much fun if we could meet then.
May 4th, 2007Happy Zombiversary, sweet Monica!!
May 4th, 2007Happy Zombieversary! You live in one of my favorite areas and I am so envious! I visit your blog daily and I am always inspired. Thank you so much. Cheers!
May 4th, 2007HAppy Blogiversary!!!! Your always fabulous inspiration!!! Beautiful fabrics! Love making new friends in blogland,an eye opener for me thats for sure, since i started mine!! Have a great week!
May 4th, 2007~cheers~

I forgot to say hi to Mimi! She is so cute! I have a little one also. An 1950’s child’s Singer. Gracie lives in her little plaid case and still sews like a dream when I crank her wheel.
May 4th, 2007I’m smiling now :-) teehee! No more pouting (well, for now!) I do feel much better.
I need to add a list of my favs to the sidebar of my blog - someday! Yes, you’d definitely be in that list.
Who said it doesn’t help to whine????? LOL
May 4th, 2007Happy blogiversary. Blogging is so wonderful and fun. I did not imagine how it would be when I started blogging in august last year. How many friends I would get, and how fun it is.
A big hug from me and good luck with the next year of blogging.
May 4th, 2007And please pick me :)
(I had a dream last night I won in Lotto, so I have to buy a ticket there today. But perhaps it was this lottery I was to win LOL )
May 4th, 2007I really enjoy reading your blog and loved reading about Mimi’s travels !
May 4th, 2007I have been subscribed to your blog for a couple of months, Happy Blogiversary!!!!!
Keep writing!

Congrats, Monica. One year is a great milestone. Here’s to year two! :D
May 4th, 2007Oh, and I adore that photo you took of the fabric. Uber cool, you are.
May 4th, 2007Congrats on a year! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and I really enjoy it.
TTFN
May 5th, 2007Happy Zombieversary to you and your Mimi,whose adventures I adore, you really know how to lure the lurkers with such preeeetty fabric.
May 5th, 2007Like to apply for your blogroll:-)), I have a translation tool, okay something like babelfish but it works… I hope and you’re the first to know what’s going on on the craft front in good old Germany.More lovely blogging years to come!
happy blogiversary! i love reading your blog–it inspires me and makes me laugh. especially the adventures of mimi! the prints are delightful-what a talented sis. i’d love to be lucky enough to win them. so here’s to delurking.
May 5th, 2007Happy Blogiversary indeed! Cant wait to see what the next year brings for you.
May 5th, 2007Happy Zombiversary!
PICK ME! PICK ME! PICK ME!

Happy Blogversary! I’m so glad I found you!
May 5th, 2007Hiya! I’m a BIG fan of washtub prints. I’ve got those top three fabrics, but not the others, so throw my name into the pot. Hey, I just won Carrie’s contest so maybe I’ll have a two-peat! I added your blog to my blogroll yesterday, so my karma should be really good right now… ;o)
Happy Blogiversary!
May 5th, 2007So I “allegedly” made that last comment? Hahaha! Well at least you called me fabulous. :oD
May 5th, 2007I absolutely love your blog! And yay for your anniversary! I look forward to reading more and more. The fabric is absolutely beautiful, also.
May 5th, 2007xoxox
Happy Zombiversary! I had no idea you ever had another blog, but the story is sweet. And definitely by her 3rd Zombiversary, I expect potty training to have occured!
May 5th, 2007As I read your blog daily, I can hear your infectious giggle! Happy versary, my friend. On to the potty!!!
May 5th, 2007It would be so cool to be a fabric designer! But that would take actual talent and an eye for design and color and everything else I don’t have. To be immortalized on fabric is pretty cool!
May 5th, 2007Cheers to another year of being fabulous! :)
May 5th, 2007Oh Happy Day it Be
That Day of Anniversary
When Fabric Dances and Mimi Sings
With Blogging Beats to the Zombie Queen!
Happy Zombieversary!
May 5th, 2007I have an unhealthy relationship with fabric. ;) Happy blogiversary.
May 5th, 2007Happy Zombieversary! I so enjoy visiting your blog every day. I *heart* your Mimi. I have a little girl who needs one of Mimi’s sisters, I think. :-)
Thanks for all the inspiration!
May 5th, 2007Today was my first visit to your blog and what should I find but a giveaway of the very fabric I have been drooling over in quilt magazine ads. I think it was meant to be–pick me, pick me! Happy anniversary. Diane
May 5th, 2007Happy blogiversary! And many more!
May 5th, 2007I have started many blogs and then in October my life just started spinning. I’ve been on overdrive and it is just now starting to wind down. My plan is to start a new blog that focuses on my quilt making. I started quilting about 4 years ago, after I received a beautiful tumbling block quilt when my daughter was born. Once I started, I haven’t looked back. I’m a fabricholic. I love the colors you choose. You have a great eye for design. I’m excited that you had your saying on fabric. Be proud! That is VERY cool. Keep up the good blog. I really enjoy reading and being inspired by all the wonderful crafters out in blog land. The world needs more crafters!!!
May 5th, 2007Happy Zombiversary!! I lift up my mojito to you (still celebrating cinco de mayo at the moment!). Now that I know your blog was born on the same day as my sweet little Ava, you have a special place in my heart :-)
May 5th, 2007Happy Anniversary. May is a busy month. Yeah, I made your blogroll. I seriously need to update mine.
May 5th, 2007Happy Anniversary! Just lovely!
May 5th, 2007I just came across your blog a few weeks ago and I had bookmarked it so I could include it in my Friday Link Love post on my blog. I really have enjoyed my visits here and will certainly be back!! Congrats on your anniversary!!
May 5th, 2007Happy Zombiversary Monica!
I’ve finally sewn up some of my stash of Washtub Prints. They are now brightening up my laundry.

How cool is it that your quote is there? Color me jealous.
May 6th, 2007Oh, Monica, congratulations! I am so excited for your first blogiversary–and even more excited because I got to see the cover of Quilts and More magazine at Market this week–and there was your quilt–ON THE COVER!!!!!! You rock! I am so proud of you–and so happy that I know you IRL.
May 6th, 2007Happy Blogiversary and many more to come. I really enjoy reading your blog!

May 6th, 2007I love your blog all the way over here in Australia. It makes me feel happy everytime I read it although sometimes I think I might be missing the joke. It always brings a smile to my face. Thank you from a working Mum of two young chidren that loves this blog of sanity.

May 7th, 2007Hi there, I’m de-lurking :) Happy blogaversary baby! I’ve only been reading for about 2 weeks but I’m lovin’ your blog already!
May 7th, 2007Happy Blogiversary!! I’ve been having fun reading the adventures of Mimi these last few weeks. She’s such a cute little machine and looks like she’s having a blast. Makes me have a little bit of a giggle. :-)
May 7th, 2007Love your blog! It is so fresh and inspiring! Jan

May 7th, 2007I too found you in fabric folding. Congratulations on the blogiversary! I love the adventures of MIMI. It’s too funny.
May 7th, 2007Congrats on the blogiversary! I am a long time lurker first time commentor, so yes you are dragging us all out! So glad that you extended the date so that I could have a chance to win the wash tub prints!
Keep up the fun and inspiring blogging! : )

May 7th, 2007Just discovered your fun blog. I love fabric, too.
May 7th, 2007Look forward to more cool ideas.
P.S. I don’t have a blog so my email address is [edited for privacy]. Thanks for having a giveaway! Happy anniversary!
May 7th, 2007Delurking to add my name to the hat. I love your blog, especially all your use of red and aqua.

May 8th, 2007I can’t believe I made it either! Monica, you are so sweet and I love your blog. I’m glad you switched to a crafter blog, otherwise I might not have found you.
Since I probably won’t win, I’m now off to find those FABULOUS fabrics!
May 8th, 2007Happy blogaversary, but even more importantly, congrats on the mag! You must be totally beside yourself with excitement! Time to celebrate!
May 8th, 2007
