Thanks to everyone: readers, sponsors and contributors for making this first year since I took over the blog an amazing one! And thanks for coming out and eating cake!
Special thanks to Diamond for hosting the party, Ovenly for making cake, Paulie Gee for surprising us with pizza, all the lovely bubbly from Dandelion Wine, Grapepoint Wine and Milk and Roses and the unexpected certificate from Assemblyman Joe Lentol!
Love the diversity.
