One year ago tomorrow, I introduced the very first Blog Friend Feature here on Things I Can’t Say. When I started it, I thought that it might be a summer feature, but after seeing your response to BFF, I decided to continue it- and now here we are: a year later!
As long as the BFFs continue to get new friends from their feature day, we’ll continue to have BFFs each week!

The first week of January, I did a recap of the first 30 BFFS. There have been 20 more since then and I’d like to recap them, too. In case you are wondering how my math adds up to one year: 30+20+1 recap post+1 week when Blogger wouldn’t let me post=52 weeks.

Take a look at the list and see if you know all of those bloggers! If not, go meet someone new. And if you do know them all, take a look at the first recap post to see if you can find a blog that you don’t know yet. Or, P.S. you could click on the “Blog Friend Feature” label below to bring up all of the BFF posts.
Some of you were asking me how you could be the Blog Friend Feature. It’s easy: just have a blog of your own and be an active part of the community here at Things I Can’t Say. I keep a running list of people I’d love to feature and try to work my way through it. If you haven’t been featured yet(especially if you are new to my blog), thanks for your patience!
I love all the blogs on your list! What a great year!
Congrats on one year! 50+ BFFs! How awesome is that? π
Happy Birthday BFF! Thanks, Shell, for being such good friend to the all of us in the blogosphere!

A year sure does go fast! So happy to be a part of the first year but I have a lot of catching up to do since I missed so many.

Love that you did this re-cap. Great way to check out some new blogs I haven't visited before and follow some new folks on Twitter.
And regarding your Pour Your Heart out post, I hope you're in better spirits. don't ever be afraid to ask for help! You'd be surprised how many people around you are willing to lend a hand if they only know you need it. π
I found quite a few that I love, whom I didn't know, through your BFF…love it!
and you're so diligent, I can't believe you never missed a week! *impressed*
You are such an awesome friend and blogger. By the way, I thought this looong before you asked me to be a BFF. π
I always look forward to your BFF features! Any friend of yours…
I'm already following a bunch of these blogs.
There are a bunch of great ones on this list and a few new ones for me too – looking forward to becoming a subscriber (on a day when my kids aren't chomping at the bit to get to day 2 of a local festival). π Have a great weekend.
Thanks for featuring the shoebox last year Shell! It's still my favorite blog day! π I'm off to check out some of these ladies.
Congrats on doing the BFF for a year! I love that you do it, I have found great blogs through it!
Wow! I can't believe you've been doing this for a whole year. You just proved you are the Friendliest Blogger Ever.
That is awesome that your idea for a summer feature turned into a regular thing.
Congraulations on a whole year! I love getting to "meet" your BFF every week.
Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on the BFF anniversary! I really do like this feature on your blog. Way to go π
Wow! Congratulations! I love this feature. And I am just waiting my turn. Like Dory saying, "Pick me! Pick me!" π
how did I miss boobies being a your bff!?
Seems like just yesterday you started this feature!
This is like a summer blog reading list — AWESOME π
Some of my favorites are on that list! π
I am absolutely going to go check some of those out!
I think it's great that you do this. Such a great way to spread bloggy love. I used to host a weekly Helping the Little Guy feature where I'd feature a new blogger each week that had less than x amount of followers, I stopped it, but maybe I'll start it up again.
Wow, look at that list!! It was such an honor to be included!!!
Thank you for doing this! It is amazing/crazy how many bloggers there are out there and so it is good to have an easy way to find more good ones.
I'm glad you posted all of these blogs! There are actually only a few that I've never been to and I will definitely go check them out!
You are doing a good thing with this feature Shell. Off to click on some of your links…
I always look forward to your BFF–can't believe it's already been a year! Congrats on all the success you've had with it, and thank you for introducing me to some wonderful bloggers.
XOXO
I have found so many good blogs with your BFF feature.
I began here, with my first days of blogging, b/c you got me so connected.
Thanks for this, Shell.
Many more to you!
Honored to be on that list! xo
I love this! What a great way to meet other bloggers! Thanks!
New to your blog and I love the idea!
