this is it, number 1000. yes, i've posted 1000 times here on moments of perfect clarity, some were admittedly moments of less clarity than others, but there have been a few gems. at least to me. so, at bee's suggestion, here is a rundown of what i - purely from a subjective, personal standpoint and at this particular moment in time - think are most representative of my blogging voice, the jewels, as it were:

hmm, noticed a few things here: all of my funniest posts involve ikea. i can also see that photos became increasingly important to me as the blog developed. most early posts don't even have photos. but i guess it has gotten easier to upload and share photos since 2004.
i've thought a lot about what to do to celebrate but after the total crap day i had yesterday, all the wind went out of my sails and with it all hints of inspired creative thoughts, so i'm afraid the best i can come up with is free shipping on everything in my etsy shop 'til the end of january. so if you've been hesitating because the danish shipping charges are so high, please hesitate no more.

Congratulations on hitting 1000 posts!
I've really enjoyed reading your entries and have been inspired by your wonderful creations.
Looking forward to reading the next 1000!
congratulations - this is a wonderful milestone :)
Congratulations and celebrations (and it was a proper post too! I am impressed)
I hope that you have a glass of bubbly or your fave tipple this evening.
One Thousand. Mille. You are amazing. MOPC and your authentic voice brought me to the blogging world and I'll be forever grateful. I plan on reading every post listed, though most of them from March 2009 on I've seen.
My personal two favorites that jump to mind are (don't remember the title) when you were "in the zone" and "Blog Crush: The Fragrant Muse". (Shameless, ain't I?) I look forward to reading the next thousand.
thank you dahlings---and thank you, elizabeth for visiting all those links and commenting on them!! that's really above and beyond, but much appreciated! :-)

That's very impressive! Congratulations, and here's to many thousands more!
Wow, 1000. That's completely inspiring (and exhausting to think about - I think I may need to go back to bed now). I just clicked through to a couple... And smiled, and thought some, and cried at another. So glad to have found your blog, I enjoy your writing so much - I look forward to digesting the rest of those great posts, and continuing to read your new ones.
wow!! that is really something! i love your photo...sweet face is your most precious jewel, i'm guessing...off to read posts!!
Congratulations! I'm still fairly new at this blogging thing, just starting in September of 2009, and yours was one of the first blogs I read. I love it. And I love the crafty things you do. For some reason, I didn't know you had an Etsy shop, though. I popped over there, hoping to find some of your hangy dangly things with the beads and felt. Would you consider putting some of those up? Whenever I see photos of them on your blog, I drool!
I've only been following your blog for a short time, but love your photos and creativity. And you've been at it for years - 1000 posts! An inspiration for us all!
I sorely regret not taking more and better photos as I was living all over the world so I could have them to better illustrate my own posts. I'll have to be more creative and now learn to use my camera better.
Keep on blogging the next 1000!
What a beautiful celebration!
Congratulations and thank you for bringing your voice and creativity to the world!
congratulations Julie. i'm so glad i found your little corner of the world and i appreciate your world view.

Well done. That is an achievement and an amazing commitment.
