Reaching a little milestone

35


Blogfriends, let's celebrate a little, shall we?!
How about a toast in light of this small, yet momentous occasion?
For TODAY
{{{{{{{ drumroll }}}}}}}
this wee blog is turning

one_year_old 

When I began, I had no idea how many blogs were out there.  I am so glad that I found all of you and that you found me.  Many of you visit regularly ~ that's just so darn wonderful!   You continue to listen to me yabber on about this & that, then you leave some heartfelt thoughts, share what's happening in your neck of the woods, make me laugh, enlighten me when I start to drift.  And greatest of all...you encourage me incessantly with your kind words, whether you know it or not.  For this I am sincerely grateful.  


Today there are seventy nine followers over there in the sidebar ~ oh my goodness ~ from points all around the globe. We are really not so far away from each other after all.

Better sign off now before I get too soppy.


But let's keep going!  See you soon, and thank you.

  25. Dear friends,
    What a fine, fine anniversary celebration this was ~ THANK YOU so much everyone for being part of it and for all the lovely comments and good wishes - it means the world to me! (My, there sure is some world coverage here :>] And to the new faces in followers, "Welcome!" If I haven't already, I will be 'round to your spots to say Hi, too.

    You know what? I think if it wasn't for all your voices there would really be no point to blog writing. I didn't realize that the day I sat down and wrote my first post. But it's connections...connecting....and at the risk of sounding trite, sharing a common thread, that makes this whole enterprise completely and utterly worth it.

  26. Well as a Virgo, I'm not usually late for the party. In fact, I'm usually camped out on the doorstep but I am late for this one. Sooo, Christi, Happy Belated confetti strewn blog a versary and let me be one of the first to congratulate you on going into your 2nd yr! With stitch, cloth, bead and words, you have taken us on a wonderful connective trail and may the paths continue. Thank you.
