Giving a grateful SHOUT OUT!

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.
