Happy 4th Blogday!

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Four years ago, on this exact date, I typed into google, 'Free Blog'. A couple of hours and a lot of tinkering later, Sprinkle of Glitter was born and a whole new chapter of my life had begun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ywebYmw-f6a6yJQjfxdFfZy-_aNl0bPyRZ8wkRk8Ps_DdYRDZ3mgn7RuadrkxvDmVyBmo4-IPd9jk9E4yOCwSG3c2NzZqDhtnqjCBF8b3cWarMBW9MDkeOHhJJ1I6rRhcjDaiL9w6W_t/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-09-19+at+13.28.50.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkleofglitter_as_a_child" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ywebYmw-f6a6yJQjfxdFfZy-_aNl0bPyRZ8wkRk8Ps_DdYRDZ3mgn7RuadrkxvDmVyBmo4-IPd9jk9E4yOCwSG3c2NzZqDhtnqjCBF8b3cWarMBW9MDkeOHhJJ1I6rRhcjDaiL9w6W_t/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-09-19+at+13.28.50.png" title="Sprinkleofglitter_as_a_child" width="474" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yep, that is me at 4 years old. Who knew this whole Glitter World would come out of that little head. *Feels proud*</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having this blog has been such a positive exercise for me. It has encouraged me to see the good in so many situations, to value the things I have, to document the important and mundane moments of my life and it has also given me a constant, when other areas of life have been rocky. Naturally I haven't always shared those scary or sad phases of life on here, but over the space of 4 years, nobodies life is perfect. Safe to say though, I'm a happy little clam. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What I have enjoyed most about working on this blog is the community that has grown around it. I know I harp on about it just about every time I can but really, it means a lot to me. It means that people are engaged in positive thinking, it means that friendships are made, it means that people are being helped (I see a lot of help between you in the comments and support is often offered to people with queries or concerns) and it means, rather selfishly I suppose, that I never ever feel alone.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last year on my third blog birthday I said this - </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><i>"So, like last year, Happy Birthday little blog. What a journey we've been on! First year a wedding, second year a baby, third year a business, fourth year a ...... . Who knows where we'll go next? I hope you will come with me." </i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I think this year the celebration is going to be FRIENDS. This year through blogging and vlogging (the two go very much hand in hand for me), I have made so many new friends and had so many exciting adventures with them. I could go on and on but I think that might be for another post. If you follow Sprinkle of Glitter avidly you'll know who they are. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">As is tradition now -</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">So, like last year, Happy Birthday little blog.

The Ted Baker Dress

She is far, far too good. It was a little snug when I tried it on so it's a huge motivation to loose half a stone so I can look b-e-a-utiful in it. I think if I'd have bought it myself I wouldn't have felt so obliged but since someone else spent their pennies on me, it's a lot easier to choose soup over pizza! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhyuAiKTKYIZNDfhJi98YROztPykEZaMDVsNO4edNEseSu2gi67SR3i4WGgUjfDKC-VdMohdT2lNEdGMMay7z1cQ0AMjyCHpZuJcZqmnk-NTLpXAhtLNGwSz2WzIxxrfGIxOQbC_mDqEs/s1600/Dress1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhyuAiKTKYIZNDfhJi98YROztPykEZaMDVsNO4edNEseSu2gi67SR3i4WGgUjfDKC-VdMohdT2lNEdGMMay7z1cQ0AMjyCHpZuJcZqmnk-NTLpXAhtLNGwSz2WzIxxrfGIxOQbC_mDqEs/s640/Dress1.jpg" title="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My aim is to wear this dress for our meet-up at PlayList Live in Florida, which is about 2 weeks away, so hopefully I will have a successful OOTD for you by then. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLJEuTM4YrSbdPYl3N0GPLbJ-btF_clDZj14-BXZFVC2iHitMj8jFP-U65QBpcFDSUNTVYf_T6ASc-xwwV6-qT9oiAs0SvQkDO0D8fF7CqkUC8kBdzVKrqo__C31frBECuZk3pTLEI-am/s1600/Dress4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLJEuTM4YrSbdPYl3N0GPLbJ-btF_clDZj14-BXZFVC2iHitMj8jFP-U65QBpcFDSUNTVYf_T6ASc-xwwV6-qT9oiAs0SvQkDO0D8fF7CqkUC8kBdzVKrqo__C31frBECuZk3pTLEI-am/s640/Dress4.jpg" title="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until then, I hope you enjoyed the sneak peaks. If you are tempted by this dress (and who wouldn't be?), mine was bought from John Lewis but weirdly, they don't seem to have it on their site.
