Pary, Pary, PARTY!!!

Hi guys! I'm back again. And today I'm PARTYING!!! Cait from Paper Fury is holding a blog party for her new blog name and change over to WP. SO, let's start eating cake!

SORRY! I COULDN'T GET THE BUTTON IN. BLOGGER MUST HAVE A BUG

‘BOUT THIS BLOGGER

1. Why did you start blogging?
I started because I wanted somewhere to share my work and have a bit of fun. I didn't really know what it was at the time, but just thought it sounded like what I needed to do.

It turned out that blogging is the best thing I've ever done. I wouldn't stop blogging for anything now! *Well, maybe the world supply of chocolate*

2. What’s the story behind your blog’s name?
Oh, this is so thrilling *not*! In my house, everyone calls me 'MAD'. 'You're Absolutely Mad' is something I hear more often than not. So when creating my blog, the name (Almost) Completely Mad just popped into my head.

3. How many designs have you been through since you started blogging? (Pictures! We demand pictures!)
I'm currently on my second! I've only just changed it and I'm still trying to decide whether I like it or not because it's so different. I'm giving it two months and if I haven't changed it by then it can stay!

Here are the pics:

4. Have you ever switched blog platforms? What made you move? If you haven’t ever changed…why?
No, I never have! I wasn't sure what blog platform to have when I created my blog and I ended up going to blogger because of how cheap everything is. And honestly, I've never paid anything for this blog.

WP sounds awesome, but I'm not sure if I could handle everything. It sounds much more professional,  but I'm sticking with blogger for a bit.

5. How long does it take you to write a post? What’s your postly process like?
Oooh, nice question! It normally takes me around half an hour to do Top Ten Tuesday posts, fifteen-twenty minutes for a ramble post and a few days for the writing post. Everything else varies.

6. Have you ever been super nervous about a post? Why?! What was it?
Yep! It was a very hard post for me to write. I wasn't sure how people would react and think of me afterwards. You see, I was talking about my faith.

I'm a Catholic, but I'd never even let on I had a faith up until then. I wasn't sure what people would think of me. Would they still listen?

Luckily I have awesome friends and they all ended up sharing their own faiths as well. So, all was well.

To tell the truth though, I did loose a  few followers from it, but it was worth it I reckon.


7. Do you have a blogging schedule?
I was just thinking about this. I was wondering whether I should make one. Let me show you the schedule I have thought of and you can decide whether you would like it or just have me how I am.

MON: Writing
TUE: Top Ten Tuesday
WED: Ramble
THU: Whatever
FRI: Writing
SAT: Whatever
SUN: Catch up on anything that I need to do

What do you think? Yes? NO?


8. Do you tell people In-Real-Life about your blog? Their reactions?
Um, no! I love my blog. It means the world to me, but sadly I don't have the comfidence to tell real life people about it. What if they judge? You know what I mean? Or what if they think I'm crazy? Like come on, how sane does, 'I write whatever pops into my head and try to make people laugh,' sound?

9. Top ten blogs you read/comment on the most! Go! Go!
Called His
Gossiping with Dragons
Paper Fury
Eve of Womanhood
The Ups and Downs of My Not-so-Average Life
Cloudy Dreams
Truly. Madly. Deeply
Hello, Cathy
Lynde Avenue
Banana and Bear
10. If you could change/improve things about your blog, what would they be?
My design (it's ok, but not perfect), my insecurity about what I write, my sidebar!

Congrats on getting the site up Cait. I've really enjoyed the party!
Now, I've got just one more thing to say, Bryleigh from A Little Yarn Blossom tagged me for the Handwriting Tag. So here we are:

I really hope you can read that. It was written late at night, so sorry if you can't!

Anyway, see ya'll later!

Two Massive, Earth Shattering Anouncements!

Wow! Gosh! I don't believe it. In case you're wondering, there is a reason why I'm so excited! I have two massive pieces of information to celebrate today.


First off, I've just hit 60 followers GFC, which is crazy! I never dreamed of having that many people reading and enjoying what I write. It's amazing and I just want to thank every single one of you for helping me to get where I am!


I know people normally do this at 50, but I missed it and isn't 60 so much better than 50 anyway? I just need to thank everyone. So THANK YOU AWESOME PEOPLE!!!


And if you think that's crazy enough (yes I like the word crazy), then this next piece of news will blow your mind away!


It is...I've just hit 100 posts. This is officially my one hundredth post. I can't believe it! I started this blog about five months ago and I've already hit 100 posts.


I can't believe what a good blogging year this has been for me (even if it is my first). I've hit 100 posts! What?


Honestly, I can't believe it. I had no idea that I was even coming close to it. It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating 10 posts! Do you remember how excited I was? Well that's nothing compared to how I'm feeling now!


I would never made it to where I am without all of yours help. Thank you again! You're the most amazing people who have ever lived.


I hope this blog keeps going on for years and years to come and that I get to have heaps more fun with all you:)


Thank you for everything!


-Kat


p.s I mean every THANK YOU, I've said. Sorry if it was a bit over the top, but I'm really excited.

Winter Wonderland Challenge : 1

Today I'm posting my very first post for Yasmine's Winter Wonderland Challenge. The theme this time is a tag. So, here we go!

IMAGE BEIING ADDED LATER

stupid blogger is having problems

The rules:

Answer the questions.
Link back to this post. :)
Nominate one more blogger (but make sure they don't tag anyone else because that way the tag will go on and on and on until the end of the competition, which I can't have.)
Have fun! ♥



The questions:


1.What is your favourite winter drink? How do you make it? Why is it your favourite?
Hmm, my favourite winter drink would be tea. It tend to drink it all year around though. So I'm not sure if it counts.
If I was to pick one drink I only drink in winter though, it would be green tea. I just love the taste of it. At first I wasn't sure about it, but now I can't stop drinking it.
I think the reason I like it so much is because of all the memories it brings up. My grandmother used to love green tea. It was one of the only drinks she'd drink. Now that she's dead, drinking a cup of green tea comforts me.





2.What is your favourite winter month (don't feel awkward to put June or July @Kat)?
Thanks Yasmine! My favourite month of winter is August, because it's just starting to warm up and head out into spring again.
Autumn is my favourite month, so I'm normally reluctant when June arrives bringing winter with it. And by July I'm just sick of cold weather.
So yes, August. *enough talking Kat*






3.Do you get snow where you live? How much?
Sadly, no. It's too warm where I live. In fact I've only seen snow...once? It was very light and didn't settle on the ground. So no snow fun.
I dream of going some where with real snow one day. That would be awesome! *Yasmine, can I visit?*




4.What is your favourite winter activity?
Reading. I'm a bookworm through and through. Nothing is better for me than curling up with a book in some warm spot (hopefully by the heater) and devouring as many books as possible. *oops, that makes me sound like a vampire*



5. What is the best thing about winter?
This is going to sound really antisocial of me, but my favourite thing is having an excuse not to go outside and talk to people and just stay where I am (and read.)
I guess this is mainly because I have no snow or anything fun to do, so there is no reason to be out and about.



6. What is the worst thing about winter?
Getting colds. I'm one of those people who spend the entire of winter stuffed up and coughing. Not the most pleasant way to spend your winter. But I've learnt to get by, so it's not that big a problem. I just have to remember to keep a tissue in my pocket.

7. Favourite winter-associated symbol? (E.g; Father Christmas or a snowflake)
A star (I know this is more Christmas than winter, but still). Not only because it's cool, but because of the religious reasons as well. Stars always make me think of sitting in midnight mass on Christmas!






I tag Imogen from Gossiping with Dragons to do this.






If anyone else would like to do this, you can't sign up here!
