Hey guys…..that’s right! Photos by Abby Rose is celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary tomorrow!!!! I’m super excited!! So I have so many things to get to so…………..let’s get started!!
First, off I wanted to share all the countries that have visited my site over the year (the number of visits from each country is between brackets)…
United States (6,580), Argentina (368), Mexico (329), Canada (34), China (29), United Kingdom (27), India (18), South Africa (13), Germany (13), Japan (9), Australia (8), Poland (7), Spain (5), Malaysia (4), Russia (4), Philippines (3), Italy (2), Sweden (2), Czech Republic (1), Cameroon (1), Singapore (1), Ecuador (1), European Union (1), France (1), and Brazil (1).
I thought that was kinda cool….mostly cause I only know people in the US and Mexico!
Next, I wanted to share how many posts, comments, likes, etc…
107 posts, 1,048 comments, average comments per post 17, total likes 556, average likes per post 7, total words 34,666, average words per post 631, views 7,472, visitors 1,334.
Spam comments? I deleted most of my spam comments due to the fact they made no sense and I don’t want to share most of them……to sum it up they basically consisted of “people” telling me how casinos work and how to gamble……..if you think my blog has anything to do with those two topics PLEASE let me know!
I think it’s so cool how I can have all these cool records about the year!
Now some amazing news for ya’ll………………….
46 followers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that might sound silly for some of you who have 1,000 followers…..and I know I’d have more but I’m super picky and I get rid of followers who have more than 5,000 followers (unless I know them) because I feel like they can’t be very personable with their followers and the blogs they follow. I also get rid of the people I don’t know AT ALL….or just have very inappropriate blogs. But guys for the ones who do follow me or read my blog I’m extremely appreciative of you! I’m so thankful to have such an awesome following!!
I also want to thank two of the most amazing followers who’ve been with me the WHOLE year! Laura – Beautiful Things & Julia – Lit Aflame. You’ve both been dedicated followers and have really encouraged me along the way! Thank you both so much!!!
And now………….what I’ve been super excited to share with you……………

Hey Abby, I was filling out your giveaway form and I noticed that it is impossible to do the last suggestion. I don’t know much about giveaways, but I think it is possible to edit them after they’ve gone live.
Congatulations, I’m glad to have found you.

Congratulations! You have done so well! You have worked so hard for as long as I’ve known you you deserve every follow. I entered the giveaway for the gift card but it was kinda confusing, but I’m commenting because it said to so?… Also I totally know what you mean about the casino spam I used to get that all the time. XD
