Thank you!
Two simple little words that aren’t said enough.
Two simple little words that convey a message of the sincerest form of gratitude.
I started this blog on November 7, 2008.
I blogged on and off – and even had to take a
year-long hiatus when my son and daughter-in-law both deployed to Iraq at the same time…and me and The Hubbs cared for our sweet grandson.
Here he is decorating our Christmas Tree. We made paper chains and paper gingerbread men and cotton ball snowmen, just for him.
In fact, I am pretty sure many of my Everyday Friends remember this time in my life… and remember when this now 7-yr old handsome man was TWO! (wow!)
Last October – I sold my real estate company and became a full-time Blogger. I have not looked back one day. In fact, I look forward.
I look forward to meeting even more Everyday Friends.
I look forward to creating more crafts and recipes and sharing them with you.
I look forward to writing silly posts about comparing humans to green beans. 🙂
And, I look forward to more monthly giveaways.
But, I could not be able to do any of this without YOU! You who so faithfully follow me and laugh at my lame jokes.
You who come back here week after week, commenting on my posts and leaving me some of the sweetest and kindest compliments.
You!
So… Thank YOU! Thank you for appreciating this blog and me… and for letting me be a part of your life.
your profile pic… 🙂
(I will be emailing you, also.)
So enter, enter, enter… and
… oh and Thank You!

LOVE your shop, love your blog and esp love your attitude.
No wonder you are so successful, honestly!
I have been redoing two bedrooms in a French style and this pillow would be an awesome part of the “reveal.”
I am crossing fingers and toes in hopes I win this amazing giveaway for May. You are too generous.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Michele
