Hello,
I want to give a huge shout out to the new (and old :-)) followers of my blog-THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You know, there are so many talented people out there. I mean sooo super talented, that I often wonder why I would receive any notice at all! I am quite honored that you would want to follow me, look at what I have made and just maybe like it! Wow! What a great feeling! I very much appreciate you.
I have been thinking (my husband would say that was my first mistake!), I guess it would be reminding, that I make cards because I love to make them. I love the people I make them for and they in turn love getting a little extra attention. They feel special. (Having a follower is like that-makes ya feel a little special!) I have a feeling that others just might make cards for the very same reasons I do-we love to make things, especially cards and then we love to share them. We don't hoard them or put them away in a box! I'm not quite sure if there is a point to this part of my post, except to say that in the end, I believe that even if not the best of card makers, it’s the making and giving, and the encouraging of one another that counts the most. I need those super talented ones though- they inspire and teach. But I bet it’s their love of crafting, the giving, and the encouraging of others that is most important to them, too. It's these things that bind us together. In the end, I think that’s what counts. So, thank you, Friend.

I agree blogging is a great place to make crafty friends and we all learn from each other, which helps us to grow and improve our skills, I wouldn't want to be without my blogging buddies.
